Kinesio Tex Tape

KINESIO TEX TAPE

 
Kinesio Tex Tape is a very thin ( about the same thickness as skin), porous cotton fabric with a medical grade acrylic adhesive.  A special method of adhesive application and the porous nature of the fabric allows the skin to breathe
under the tape.

The Kinesio Taping Technique:
• Reduces pain, swelling and muscle spasm; and subsequently promotes the body’s natural healing processes.                       Additionally, the built-in stretch of the tape supports fatigued, weakened and /or strained muscles.
• Provides myofascial support to muscles, joints with full ROM, comfort.
• May be worn on skin 3-4 days without irritation; during strenuous exercise or hydrotherapy.
• 140% elasticity, basically same as that of skin, muscles
• Used to prevent injury, to control edema and pain management.
