Kinesio Taping

Kinesio Taping® Method

The Kinesio Taping® Method is a rehabilitative taping technique that is designed to facilitate the body’s natural healing process. At the same time it provides support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting the body’s range of motion as well as providing extended soft tissue manipulation. This prolongs the benefits of the therapy administered within the clinical setting.

By targeting different receptors within the somatosensory system, Kinesio® Tex Tape alleviates pain 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 of the affected area.

Application

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® Tex Tape can be applied in hundreds of ways and has the ability to re-educate the neuromuscular system, reduce pain and inflammation, enhance performance, prevent injury and promote good circulation and healing, and assist in returning the body to homeostasis.

The Benefit

It has been proven to have positive physiological effects on the skin, lymphatic and circulatory system, fascia, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints. It can be used in conjunction with a multitude of other treatments and modalities within your clinic and is effective during the rehabilitative and chronic phases on an injury as well as being used for preventative measures.

The kinesio taping method is used by the vast majority of professional athletes.
