\u201cKinesio Taping is spreading around the world. I am really pleased that we can help so many people in so many places to live better lives.\u201d Dr. Kenzo Kase, Founder of Kinesio Taping.<\/p>

Kinesio Tape, also called Kinesio Tex Tape is the original elastic adhesive tape developed in 1979 by Dr. Kenzo Kase. Kinesio tape is latex free, hypoallergenic, and wearable for days, often 3 to 5 days, but I have seen it work for patients for longer than a week. You don\u2019t need to be an athlete to experience tension and soreness caused by strained, overused, and underused muscles. Kinesio Tape is designed to facilitate the body\u2019s natural healing process while simultaneously allowing support and stability to muscles and joints without the restriction of any range of motion. Kinesio Taping invests $1,000,000 a year to research and is continuously improving their techniques and products.<\/p>

What makes Kinesio Tex Tape different from other similar tapes such as KT Tape and Rock Tape is the extensibility of the tape. It is made to mimic skin and stretch between 40 and 60% to help match the skin which stretches at 55%. This allows the wearer the ability to move without causing restriction and unnecessary pulling on the skin. Unlike athletic tapings, Kinesio Taping doesn\u2019t restrict range of motion and is designed to be worn for longer periods of time. Tex Tape was created to work with and support the joints and muscles through motion, allowing you to continue your life while helping to re-train the neuromuscular and fascial system.<\/p>

Kinesio Tape has hundreds of ways it can be applied depending on the individual\u2019s assessment. Some of these methods are for acute or chronic pain, rehabilitation of an injury, increasing joint range of motion, taking tension and pressure off any painful areas, improving posture, and assisting with the prevention of repetitive movement and future injuries.<\/p>

Kinesio Tex Tape was made for almost anyone with its resistance to water and allopathic properties. It is safe for pediatrics, geriatrics, non-athletic populations, beginner to high-profile athletes, and successfully treats a variety of orthopedic, neuromuscular, neurological, and other medical conditions. Another added benefit is the lack of side effects unlike most pain medication. It only takes seconds to see that it was applied correctly and for the benefits to start.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The Kinesio Taping method is a therapeutic taping technique that uses their own original tape. Lifting the skin away from the underlying tissue. This space that is created between the muscle and the dermis allows for reduction in pressure and an increased flow of blood and lymphatic fluids in and out of the target area. The effects extend beyond fluid movement to include conditions such as orthopedic, neurological, neuromuscular, and some autonomic pathologies.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
