Kinesio® Taping

Kinesio® Taping is effective in the restoration and re-education of damaged muscles caused by overuse or injury, such as in the acute and chronic conditions mentioned under Medical Massage. Kinesio Tex® tape is latex-free, durable, and has 140% elasticity, which adheres to the skin 3-5 days per application. It works by making convolutions in the epidermal layer of your skin, which increases the space between the skin and muscles, thereby promoting the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood. The increased space is also effective in reducing pain via decreased pain receptor activation.

Kinesio® Taping acts as an extension of the therapists’ hands continuing therapeutic results through the skins’ proprioceptive response. In conjunction with a massage or done alone, positive results can be significant, and in many instances, provide relief immediately. Some of the benefits are as follows:
  • Normalization of muscle function
  • Improvement of lymphatic and blood flow
  • Reduction of pain
  • Correction of joint misalignments
  • Improvement of proprioception
Kinesio® Taping is the therapy technique seen worldwide used on the athletes in the 2008 Summer Olympics. Heal Thyself & Co. offers training and certification of the Kinesio® Taping Method with CEU classes available. We also teach advanced therapy techniques.
