WHAT IS KINESIO TAPING?
Kinesio Taping® is based on the science of Kinesiology and was invented by a Japanese chiropractor named Kenso Kase. The taping method and tape allow the body and muscles to move while assisting rehabilitation. The Kinesio Taping® method involves applying a specialized tape from origin-to- insertion, or insertion-to-origin over muscles to decrease pain and inflammation, reduce muscle fatigue and support muscles in movement 24 hours a day. This non-restrictive type of taping allows full range of motion. Taping is a beneficial as a healing extension of existing therapy, or in some cases, alone.
KINESIO TEX® TAPE is Latex free and non-medicated. It is very skin friendly and irritation is rare; although you should still look for signs of irritation.
KINESIO TEX® TAPE will allow for Chiropractic manipulation/adjusting with the tape in place. It will also allow the application of certain topicals directly through the tape while in place, if desired.
