Kinesio Tape, also called Kinesio Tex Tape, is the original elastic adhesive tape developed by Dr. Kenzo Kase in 1979. Kinesio Tape is latex-free, hypoallergenic and wearable for days at a time. It is safe for populations from elite athletes, weekend warriors to geriatric and pediatric patients. 100% made from a gentle cotton fiber strip 100% medical grade acrylic adhesive 100% latex-free Hypoallergenic Water-resistant Does not limit range of motion Multiple day wear time. Tension on tape has the ability to relax or stimulate muscles. How Does Kinesio Tape Work? Kinesio Tape alleviates discomfort and facilitates lymphatic drainage by microscopically lifting the skin. This lifting affect forms convolutions in the skin thus increasing interstitial space and allowing for a decrease in inflammation, reducing pressure while enabling a more effective flow of blood and lymphatic fluid in and out of the target area. Based upon years of clinical use, Kinesio Tape is specifically applied to the patient based upon their needs after evaluation. The findings of the clinical evaluation or assessment dictate the specifics of the Kinesio Tape application and other possible treatments or modalities. With the utilization of single "I" strips or modifications in the shape of an "X", "Y" or other specialized shapes as well as the direction and amount of stretch placed on the tape at time of application, Kinesio Tape can be applied in hundreds of ways and has the ability to re-educate the neuromuscular system, reduce inflammation, prevent injury and promote good circulation and healing, and assist in returning the body to homeostasis. For Work, For Play, For Life Although originally developed in a medical setting, for many years Kinesio Taping has assisted individuals of all ages to find comfort in their daily activities. At work, Kinesio Taping can help the office worker dealing with neck and lower back stress caused by long hours at a computer terminal; the mechanic or warehouse worker with strained knees and shoulders from reaching and crouching; and the headaches or foot pain caused by so many different professions. At home, parents and children can use a little extra assistance for daily housework, yardwork, school and shopping activities. And of course, at play: from walking, running or bicycling to reach a destination, to casual athletics to the serious weekend warrior. Medical Use Although the athletic uses of Kinesio Taping are well-noticed and extensively photographed, it is in the medical field that Kinesio Tape was created. Patient care and medical research continue to be where the ever more advanced uses of the modality are tested and perfected, where Dr. Kenzo Kase and his product educational development teams continually move forward. Harbingers of new uses and patient populations start out at the top: as patients needing relief and assistance in physiological healing and rehabilitation. To keep these people comfortable and optimally functioning and minimize pain, Kinesio Taping techniques are constantly refined and advanced. Dr. Kase does not be
