Customer Reviews of Kinesio Tape - 2" x 5.5 yards - Black - Water-Resistant
Customer Review: Nice addition to sports equipment
Summary: 4 Stars
This tape worked well for my son's sprained ankle in football. Taped it according to videos on the web and within a week his ankle was almost 100%, and in two weeks there was no residual pain. I have trouble with a knee swelling after running. Taped my knee according to web videos and it helped with the pain and the recovery time. It is not a heavy duty support tape but it is very versatile in the way you can stretch it tighter for some parts of the tape job and leave it unstretched for other parts. I am not sure about the claims of more rapid healing due to it holding the skin off the muscles for increased blood flow but it did help my knee pain and it did help my son's ankle recovery time. I would definitely look on the web at the videos of trainers to see the proper application technique as you need to stretch the tape at some points as well as flex or straigthen the joint being taped. We have added this to our kit of sports equipment and bought it for our football team as well.
Description of Kinesio Tape - 2" x 5.5 yards - Black - Water-Resistant
Kinesio Tape - Tex Tape Kinesio Tape is a super thin athletic tape, about the same thickness and the elasticity of skin and muscles. 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.First Aid
