With the utilization of single “I” strips or modifications in the shape of an “X”, “Y” or other
specialized shapes as well as the direction and amount of stretch placed on the tape at time of
application, Kinesio Tex Tape can be applied in hundreds of ways and has the ability to re-
educate the neuromuscular system, reduce pain and inflammation, enhance performance,
prevent injury and promote good circulation and healing, and assist in returning the body to
homeostasis.
How It Works
The Kinesio Taping Method is designed to facilitate the body’s natural healing process and to
provide extended soft tissue manipulation to prolong the benefits of manual therapy
administered within the clinical setting. Kinesio Tex Tape is safe for populations ranging from
pediatric to geriatric. By targeting different receptors within the somatosensory system, the tape
alleviates pain and facilitates lymphatic drainage by microscopically lifting the skin. This lifting
affect forms convolutions in the skin thus increasing interstitial space and allowing for decreased
inflammation.
In some cases, the treatment of a condition may require treatment of other underlying
conditions as well. The information gained from detailed assessments will allow for the proper
treatment protocol to be laid out. Kinesio Tex Tape is a valuable part of this protocol. It can be
used in conjunction with a multitude of other treatments and modalities and is effective during
the rehabilitative and chronic phases on an injury as well as being used for preventative
measures.
