| Kinesio Tex® Tape is a very thin, porous cotton fabric with a medical grade acrylic adhesive. A special method of adhesive application and porous nature of the fabric allows the skin to breathe and showering cleans part of the skin under the tape. The tape is designed for a 30 to 40% longitudinal only stretch and when applied lifts the skin and provides support for surrounding soft tissue. Kinesio Tex® Tape is latex-free and non-medicated. It was designed to be worn for 3 to 4 days and an hour after application it will withstand athletic activity and showering without coming off. Kinesio Tex® Tape is very skin friendly and irritation is rare. It will theoretically 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 spasm.
