The original tape of its kind

Jenny is the only person in the office who is trained in the application of Kinesio® tape.

Kinesio® Taping is the definitive rehabilitative taping method within the international medical community.

Kinesio tape was first used in the 2012 London Summer Olympics  by beach volleyball players, and Kinesio tape use has since taken off. Kinesio tape, or KT tape, was originally developed in 1979 by Dr. Kenzo Kase, a Japanese chiropractor and acupuncturist. Since then there have been many knock-offs, but Kinesio-Tex tape is the original and the one that Jenny has been trained in and uses.

Kinesio® Tex Tape (or Kinesio Tape for short) has the ability to:

  • Re-educate the neuromuscular system
  • Reduce pain
  • Enhance performance
  • Prevent injury
  • Promote good circulation and healing.

With over 35 years of experience, Kinesio® is the only elastic therapeutic tape of its kind.

Cornerstones of The Kinesio® Taping Method :

  1. Taping over and around muscles in order to assist and give support or to prevent over-contraction. 
  2. Applying stretch to the tape or to the target area in order to create space under the skin and create the desired effect on the musculature. 
  3. Affects change in deeper layers of fascia by manipulating the skin and muscle.
  4. Creates space underneath the skin to improve circulation and lymphatic drainage.
  5. Utilizes a number of corrective techniques to promote correct muscle and joint function.
  6. Assists with pain relief by targeting both the pain and the source of the pain (they are frequently not the same).

Kinesio® Tex Tape is completely latex free, water resistant, and made from the highest quality materials meaning it can be used by patients of every age and condition for 3-5 days per application.
