Kinesio Athletic Tape is a modality treatment
based on the body's own natural healing process. The major effects of Kinesio
taping are correcting muscle function, improving circulation of blood and
lymph, relieving pain, and repositioning the subluxation joints. Kinesio
Athletic Tape is latex free, and is durable for 3-4 days of use.
Kinesio Athletic Tape is an elastic
athletic tape of extremely high quality, and was specifically designed by Dr.
Kenzo Kase to provide exceptional results for Kinesio Taping. Kinesio Athletic
Tape was designed to be worn on the skin for an extended period of time (3-4
days) without irritation, as well as during strenuous exercise or hydrotherapy.
The adhesive is not only heat activated, but also will not leave any residue
when removed.
Kinesio Athletic Tape is FDA
approved, and patent protected. Kinesio® Athletic Tape has an elasticity of
140%, which matches the same basic elasticity found in ones skin and muscles,
allowing Kinesio taping to work with your body. This provides full range of
motion, support, and stability, without adversely affecting the natural range
of motion. For excellent results, Kinesio® Athletic Tape should be applied at
least 30 minutes prior to exercise in order for the heat activated adhesive to
adjust and bond with the skin temperature. In conjunction with the Kinesio
Taping Method, Kinesio Athletic Tape is frequently used for clinical
applications such as patella femoral, shin splints, plantar fasciitis, carpal
tunnel syndrome, rotator cuff, etc.
Kinesio Athletic Tape is more
expensive than conventional athletic tape, but due to the quality and usage,
Kinesio Athletic Tape is actually more economical
