The Kinesio® Taping Method

 The Kinesio Taping® Method is a therapeutic taping technique which alleviates pain and facilitates lymphatic drainage by microscopically lifting the skin. This lifting affect forms convolutions in the skin increasing interstitial space and allowing for decreased inflammation in affected areas. Based upon research and years of clinical use, The Kinesio® Taping Method specifically applies Kinesio® Tex Tape based on evaluation and assessment to dictate a specific application. Kinesio® Tex Tape applications can be applied in hundreds of ways and have the ability to reduce pain and inflammation, promote  post-surgical healing, optimize performance, prevent injury and promote  good circulation and can assist the body’s natural healing process.

Known for its ground breaking education for over 40 years Kinesio now introduces Kinesio® Medical Taping, a new generation of treatment using Kinesio® taping applications which can stimulate the epidermis at a cellular level to achieve optimal patient results.
