Kinesio Tape is made of a porous cotton fabric with a medical grade acrylic adhesive that allows the skin under the tape to breathe be cleaned while showering. Kinesio Tape uses a special method of adhesive application combined with the porous nature of the fabric works 'with' your body. The Kinesio taping method provides a full range of motion, support, and stability, without adversely affecting the natural range of motion. Kinesio tape is designed for a 30-40%% longitudinal only stretch and when applied, it lifts the skin and provides support for surrounding soft tissue. This Kinesio Tape is LATEX FREE and NON-MEDICATED. Kinesio Tex Tape was designed to be worn for 3 to 4 days without irritation; and an hour after application it will withstand athletic activity and showering without coming off. The water resistant type of taping Kinesio offers is necessary for the taping of hands and feet. Proper application does not require multiple layers; due to location of muscles, an application may cross over another application. What Does Kinesio Taping Do? Kinesio Tape gives support and stability to your joints and muscles without affecting circulation and range of motion. It is also used for Preventive Maintenance, Edema, and Pain Management. It is a taping 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. Muscles are not only attributed to the movements of the body but also control the circulation of venous and lymph flows, body temperature, etc. Review: This Athletic Tape works great for providing temporary orthopedic support. - My physical therapist taught me about this tape. Apparently, a lot of coaches use it to help their athletes keep playing when they have a minor injury. In my case, my right foot has a serious chronic orthopedic problem. I have to wear a foot brace on that account all the time. I wanted to start a program of water therapy but if I take the brace off, I am soon in pain. This Kinesio Elastic Therapeutic Athletic Tape Tex Gold tape provided a solution. I stretch this tape as I put it on and it holds my foot together without the brace. Moreover, it is waterproof. For me, the upshot is that it allows me to do the water therapy which has helped me a lot and and I can even do laps in the pool if I feel like it. I think this tape does as well as the brace in holding my foot together and its a lot less bulky. The tape is good for about three days after you put it on. Then it has to be replaced. There is one proviso. Before you put the tape on, you need to spray the area with Cramer Skin Taping Base (Tuf-Skin). That makes it adhere better. I don't know how well it would work without the taping base. Note, you don't use a lot of the taping base; just a little will do. In summary, this stuff works great for me. You can get a lot of information and examples of its use online. Review: I will reorder - Good product. Helps with joint pain.
