Kinesio taping is a therapeutic tape and taping technique which
supports joints and muscles, without restricting range of motion.
Some features of Kinesio Tex TapeŽ are:

• Medical grade, heat sensitive acrylic adhesive
• Allows the skin to breathe
• Thickness and weight approximates that of skin
• Easily tolerated
• Allows range of motion and does not restrict like conventional athletic tape
• Elastic properties to help to support and reduce muscle fatigue
• Can be worn for several days (3-5) without re-application
This technique has been seen in recent months on many of our
Olympic and Paralympic athletes and it is an excellent development in the field of Sports
Therapy. |
