Kinesio Taping®

The Kinesio Taping Method involves taping over and around muscles in order to assist and give support or to prevent over-contraction. The first technique gives the practitioner the opportunity to actually give support while maintaining full range of motion, enabling the individual to participate in physical activity with functional assistance. The second technique helps prevent overuse or over-contraction and helps provide facilitation of lymph flow 24 hours per day. It is most commonly used in the acute stage of rehabilitation.

Correctional techniques include mechanical, lymphatic, ligament / tendon, fascia, space, and functional. Kinesio Tex Tape can be used in conjunction with other therapies, including cryotherapy, hydrotherapy, massage therapy, and electrical stimulation.

Kinesio Taping has taken the sporting world by storm with reports of world-class athletes like Lance Armstrong, Serena Williams, David Beckham and more using the technique to give aching muscles more elasticity.

This elastic therapeutic taping gained notority
during the 2008 Olympics in Beijing when
American volleyball star Kerri Walsh and
others sported the uniquely designed and
patented tape.
