KINESIO^® TAPE: MADE WITH EVERYONE IN MIND

Kinesio Tape, also called Kinesio Tex Tape, is the original elastic adhesive tape developed by Dr. Kenzo Kase in the early 1970s.

Kinesio Tape is safe enough for a baby’s sensitive skin, and gentle enough for aging individuals, flexible enough for rehabilitation, durable enough to support working muscle, joint or ligament and strong enough for athletes at any level.

In cases when the tape is applied by practitioners the tape provides optimized stimulation based on space, movement, and cooling which allows the body’s natural healing power is able to do its work.

Kinesio brand tape is the specific tool of the Kinesio Taping^® Method, and the basis of the ability to tape a wide variety of patients.

Through the shared clinical experience of our trained Kinesio Taping^® practitioners, Kinesio^® has developed our adhesive to address a wide range of patient care needs, from pediatrics to senior citizens and everyone else in between.

If the lymphatic and fluid system is congested with inflammation, the various chemicals that should be removed from the interstitial space accumulate , pain will be resulted(Wiig H & Swartz MA,2012). If waste metabolites accumulate, fluid temperature as well as compressive forces in the affected areaincreases(Keith Wassung, 2014). It is necessary to assist the removal of congestion (動movement), decrease temperature (冷cooling)and remove compressive force on the affected tissue (空space).

Based upon years of clinical use, Kinesio Tape is specifically applied to the patient based upon evaluation. The findings of the clinical evaluation or assessment dictate the specifics of the Kinesio Tape application and other possible treatments or modalities. 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.
