 KINESIO
TEX® TAPE is a very thin (about the same thickness as
skin), porous cotton fabric with a medical grade acrylic adhesive. A
special method of adhesive application and porous nature of the fabric
allows the skin to breathe and showering cleans part of the skin under
the TAPE. The TAPE is designed for a 30 to 40% longitudinal only
stretch and when applied lifts the skin and provides support for
surrounding soft tissue.
This TAPE is LATEX FREE and NON-MEDICATED.
KINESIO TEX® TAPE was designed to be worn for multiple
days ( 3 to 4 ); and an hour after application it will withstand
athletic activity and showering without coming off. The Water
Resistant Type is necessary for taping of hands and feet. Proper
application does not require multiple layers of TAPE; due to location
of muscles, an application may cross over another application.
This TAPE is very skin friendly and irritation is rare; you should
still look for signs of irritation.
Our bodies were designed to move and with the Kinesio Taping
Technique and Kinesio Tex® Tape you promote motion. The
TECHNIQUE relies heavily on insertions and origins of muscles. When in
a relaxed state, skin properly taped with Kinesio Tex® Tape
will have natural wrinkles (convolutions).
Theoretically, KINESIO TEX® TAPE will lift the skin to
increase the space between the skin and muscle. This reduced localized
pressure help promote circulation, lymphatic drainage and lessens the
irritation on the subcutaneous neural pain receptors. As an end
result, the Kinesio Taping Technique reduces pain, swelling and muscle
spasm; and subsequently promotes the body’s natural healing processes.
Additionally, the built-in stretch of the TAPE supports fatigued,
weakened and/or strained muscles.

Kinesio Taping Labs (Workshops/Seminars):
The
books and video are tools to help you learn the Kinesio Taping
Technique. However, for the medical professional, the BEST and quickest
way to learn "The Technique" is to attend a scheduled (open) Taping Lab
presented by an experienced Certified Kinesio Taping Instructor. Better
Yet, sponsor a Lab in your locale -- economically it takes 12 to 18
people [6 to 9 taping pairs] then EVERYONE receives Kinesio Instructions
directly from an Instructor of your choice and one that fits your needs.
There are Taping Labs [both of the "open" and "closed" type] going on
some place in the United States most months. For information regarding
scheduled [open] Kinesio Taping Labs or for sponsoring a Lab [of the
"open" or "closed" type], please
