Kinesio Taping®
What is Kinesio Taping
Conventional athletic tape is designed to restrict and support the movement of the injured body part to protect the area from further damage. Kinesio Taping® goes further: it offers support and allows the patient complete range of motion during the rehabilitation process.
Kinesio tape dries quickly, is water resistant, and allows for regular showering and bathing. It’s made from cotton and adhesive that make it gentle on skin. This and other benefits make it a great treatment for cyclists, runners, athletes, and other active patients.
