How Does it Work?
Without getting into too much detail, Kinesio Tape is applied from one end of a muscle to the other with varying amounts of stretch, while the tissue and affect area is in a stretched position. The tape is applied from the muscle origin to the insertion for muscle support / facilitation. For Rehabilitation / Muscular inhibition Kinesio Tape is applied from muscle insertion to the origin.

Kinesio Taping is a Rehabilitative and Therapeutic taping technique. The technique uses a highly specific designed tape that works with the body allowing for full range of motion (ROM). The Kinesio Taping Method is applied over muscles to reduce pain and inflammation, relax overused tired muscles, and to support muscles in movement on a 24hr/day basis. It is non-restrictive type of taping which allows for full range of motion. There is no compression to the skin, which makes it light and sometimes unnoticeable, allowing comfortable wear over a 3 to 5 day period. The water resistant fabric allows you to bathe as normal. Kinesio Taping works with the lymphatic system to increase circulation of blood and lymph in order to rehabilitate and relieve pain. Used for virtually all clinical conditions. Using Kinesio Tape, it was discovered that muscles and other tissues could be helped by outside assistance. Kinesio Taping creates a totally new approach to treating nerves, muscles, and organs.
