Kinesio Tex® Tape![]() Our bodies are designed to move and the Kinesio Taping Technique and Kinesio Tex Tape promote motion. The technique relies heavily on insertions and origins of muscles. When in a relaxed state, skin properly taped with Kinesio Tex Tape will have natural wrinkles (convolutions). Theoretically, Kinesio Tex® Tape will lift the skin to increase the space between the skin and muscle. This reduced localized pressure helps promote circulation, lymphatic drainage, and lessens the irritation on the subcutaneous neural pain receptors. As an end result, the Kinesio Taping Technique reduces pain, swelling and muscle spasms; and subsequently promotes the body's natural healing processes. Additionally, the built-in stretch of the tape supports fatigued, weakened and/or strained muscles.
