Kinesio Tape KINESIO TEX TAPE is a very thin (about the same thickness as skin), 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. This TAPE is LATEX FREE and NON-MEDICATED. KINESIO TEX ® TAPE was designed to be worn for multiple days ( 3 to 4 ); and an hour after application it will withstand athletic activity and showering without coming off. The Water Resistant Type is necessary for taping of hands and feet. Proper application does not require multiple layers of TAPE; due to location of muscles, an application may cross over another application. This TAPE is very skin friendly and irritation is rare; you should still look for signs of irritation. Our bodies were designed to move and with the Kinesio Taping Technique and Kinesio Tex Tape you promote motion. The TECHNIQUE relies heavily on insertions and origins of muscles. When in a relaxed state, skin properly taped with Kinesio Tex Tape will have natural wrinkles (convolutions). Theoretically, KINESIO TEX ® TAPE will lift the skin to increase the space between the skin and muscle. This reduced localized pressure help promote circulation, lymphatic drainage and lessens the irritation on the subcutaneous neural pain
