The Kinesio Taping Method involves taping over and around muscles in order to assist and give support or to prevent over-contraction.
Kinesio Taping affects the activation of the neurological system, the body's information processor and the circulatory system.
Since the introduction of Kinesio Taping into the US, medical practitioners from PTs, ATCs, OTs, DCs, MTs, to MDs have recognized and embraced this effective, safe and best of all, easy-to-use modality
The method and tape allow the individual to receive the therapeutic benefits 24 hours per day with both comfort and ease, because it can be worn for several days per application.
Currently, Kinesio Taping is used in hospitals, clinics, high schools and by professional sports teams including the olympics. Sold in clinical non-retail packaging.

Fantastic tape

I have been using this tape for many years. I love to introduce this item to many people who had knee injury or knee surgery like me.
Now I am using this tape whenever I feel knee pain as well as when I play tennis. This is such a good way to protect your knee or any other joints in your body.

Great Relief for Whiplash

My physical therapist had taken many measures to help relieve the tension in my neck resulting from a car accident. The Kinesio Tape has been the only thing from physical therapy that has made me feel so much better for extended periods of time. I will admit that I was a skeptic that tape could make me feel better, but an hour after application I noticed a significant difference.

Kinesio tape works great on my chest truncal lymphedema

Kinesio tape totally improved my chest / truncal lymphedema. I had a relatively minor case, but it was bothering me and I've been working very hard to get the swelling down. My breast was hard and swollen - I have tried MLD, herbal supplements, etc and nothing has gotten the swelling under control.

My chiropractor put kinesio tape on my breast and chest area and it is amazing how much better it feels. The swelling is way down and the hardness and thickness is much reduced. He is putting this on me once a week with two pieces - one from my breast up toward my collar bone and one piece from my breast across to my right side chest. If you are suffering from lymphedema and haven't tried kinesio tape, I would highly recommend it!

Some tips if you are not going to an expert to get this applied:
* The adhesive is heat-activated. So to get it to stick well, you need to rub the tape on the skin a bit. I can get it to stay on for a week.
* Cut the tape so that each piece has a solid area at one end and then four little strips on the other end where the lymphedema is.
* Place the solid end at the terminus point and then stretch each little piece down and across the area. Make sure to rub each strip so that it stays attached.

Even Good For Bowlers

I'm a bowler and bought this to help me hold on to the bowling ball. In the bowling pro shops they sell a product made of the same material. In the pro shops it's sized/cut to fit along your thumb to help you get a better grip on the ball... and it's much more expensive. This is the same material, but in a roll form. I just cut off several pieces and include them in my bowling bag. Works great for me.
