Kinesiotaping

Are you considering using Kinesiotaping, an elastic adhesive strip that supports muscles and joints, mimics human skin elasticity, and aids in natural healing?

  • Kinesio® Tape is an elastic porous cotton strip with an acrylic adhesive used for treating athletic injuries and various physical disorders.

  • It stretches up to 140% of its original length, allowing a greater range of motion compared to traditional athletic tape.

  • Kinesio® Tape can be left on for longer periods (up to 4 days) before reapplication is needed.

  • It is designed to mimic the elastic properties of human skin and is about as thick as the epidermis.

  • The Kinesio Taping® Method involves applying the tape to support and stabilize muscles and joints while facilitating the body’s natural healing process.

  • The four major functions of Kinesio Taping® are supporting the muscle, removing congestion to body fluid flow, activating the body’s natural pain-relieving system, and correcting joint problems.

  • It is recommended to have Kinesio Tape applied by a Certified Kinesio Taping Practitioner after a proper evaluation by qualified health professionals to ensure correct application and tension.
