Kinesio Tex tape is a durable, latex free tape that is can be left in place for 3-4 days. Depending on the taping technique, Kinesio tex tape is can be used to:
- correct muscle function
- improve circulation of blood and lymph
- relieve pain
- reduce edema or swelling.
The tape needs to be applied using special techniques that are described in the instructional books video, or by taking a certification class.
Kinesio Tape is heat activated and when placed on the skin should be rubbed for a few minutes to allow the adhesive backing to adhere well to the skin. (If tape gets wet, DO NOT use a hair dryer to dry the tape)
I love using Kinesio tape by itself or with other manual therapies such as myofacial release or manual lymph drainage. Patients report that there is such a relief from pain due to sprains, sore back or shoulder problems. Works so well with MLD to move lymph fluid and reduce edema.
