Kinesio Tex Gold TapeKINESIO TEX TAPE

Authentic Kinesio Tex Gold Tape comes in a range of colours and roll sizes to suit the needs of the clinician and the client.

These tapes have the backing and support of the International Kinesio Taping Association and have been designed specifically to work in combination with the Kinesio Taping Method.

The specific stretch, recoil and adhesive properties of Kinesio Tex Tape are completely unique when compared to all other elastic therapeutic tapes - which is why it is the only tape endorsed by the Kinesio Taping Association for use with the Kinesio Taping Method.

  • features a 100% medical grade acrylic adhesive
  • totally latex free
  • does not limit range of motion
  • can be worn for 3-5 days
  • is gentle on the skin, yet has an adhesive glue to ensure long term wearability

Kinesio ScissorsSCISSORS

Any practitioner who has used Kinesio Tex Tape extensively will know how important a good pair of scissors is.

For the most part any old pair of scissors just won't ‘cut it' when it comes to fan strips, rounding corners neatly or having a pair of scissors that doesn't attract the adhesive as normal scissors can do.

The specially coated blades ensure that the adhesive residue does not stick and significantly reduces time spent cleaning

 

MANUALS

2. Lymphoedema and Chronic Swelling

Lymphoedema and Chronic Swelling ManualThis chronic disease is known to affect more than 12 million men, women, and children worldwide, affects any part of the body, and is why the treatment of this condition is on the mind of every health care professional.

With the introduction of our unique lymphoedema techniques, Kinesio Taping is sweeping the world as an effective and exciting modality that compliments other "standard" lymphoedema treatments. Kinesio Taping for Lymphoedema and Chronic Swelling will show you step-by-step, easy-to-read, full colour instruction of over 108 common and not-so-common applications associated with lymphoedema, chronic swelling, and scar management.

Lymphatic build-up is caused due to a disruption in the lymphatic system, resulting in obstructed or restricted lymphatic flow, chronic swelling, and pain. Our muscles help us move and also help control the venous circulation and lymph flow. By utilising our unique method and applying the Kinesio Tex Tape directly to the skin, the Kinesio Taping Method can assist in the movement of muscles, repositioning of joints, alleviation of pain, but most importantly assist in the "lifting or creation of space" within the superficial skin and decreasing pressure while opening initial lymphatics. The effect of Kinesio Taping on muscle also improves the efficiency of the deeper lymphatics by allowing maximum contraction and relaxation of a muscle.

Kinesio Taping for Lymphoedema and Chronic Swelling is dedicated to those with lymphoedmea, those who are at risk, and to those devoted medical professionals who help them live their lives.
