Kinesio Tex Gold

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.
