Kinesio Tape Information

What is Kinesio Tape?

Kinesio Taping® is a technique based on the body's own natural healing process. This Kinesio Taping® exhibits its efficacy through the activation of neurological and circulatory systems. This method basically stems from the science of Kinesiology. Hence the name "Kinesio" is used. Muscles are not only attributed to the movements of the body but also control the circulation of venous and lymph flows, body temperature, etc. Therefore, the failure of the muscles to function properly induces various kinds of symptoms.

 

Consequently, so much attention was given to the importance of muscle function that the idea of treating the muscles in order to activate the body's own healing process came about. Using an elastic tape, it was discovered that muscles and other tissues could be helped by outside assistance. Employment of Kinesio Taping® creates a totally new approach to treating nerves, muscles, and organs. The first application of Kinesio Taping® was for a patient with articular disorders.

For the first 10 years, orthopedists, chiropractors, acupuncturists and other medical practitioners were the main users of Kinesio Taping®. Soon thereafter, Kinesio Taping® was discovered by Olympic volleyball players in Japan and word quickly spread to other athletes. Today, Kinesio Taping® is accepted by medical practitioners and athletes in Japan, the United States, Europe, South America and other Asian countries as well.
