Kinesio® Taping

Kinesio® Tex Tape and its application technique were invented in the early 1970’s in Japan by Dr Kenzo Kase. As a Chiropractor he found that other taping methods which were available such as athletic tape and strapping worked well in supporting muscles and joints but didn’t allow movement which he found restricted the healing process of painful and injured areas. Knowing that most injured tissue has an element of swelling (oedema), he developed a tape which when applied in specific techniques and stretched, not only could he direct fluid to be drained but also assist the body to relieve pain and aid muscle and joint rehabilitation.



Kinesio® Tex Tape is now a huge international phenomena and is used and applied in a great many medical and sports sectors across the world. The 2008 Olympic Games athletes were seen wearing brightly coloured tape to various parts of their bodies, in various sporting activities from various countries. In the UK, the Kinesio® Tex Taping Method is widely used in many hospital and clinic settings as well as national football teams and other sporting activities.

What does Kinesio® Tex Tape do?

The Kinesio® Tex Tape and method allows free movement of the skin, tissue and muscular structures, unlike other forms of taping techniques. The 100% cotton tape together with its ability to stretch, combined with the method of application improve lymphatic function resulting in reduction of oedema. This is achieved by the taped skin forming convolutions (ripple effect). When the skin is lifted by this technique, the flow of blood and lymphatic fluid is increased and depending on where the tapes is first applied, will have a 'pulling back' or 'recoil' nature to the drainage pathway therefore allowing fluid to be directed (or channeled) to an area which is working well. For example if tape is placed near the armpit and then applied down towards the leg, this will help drain oedema from the leg.

What are the functions of the Kinesio® Tex Taping Method?

The expanding and contracting properties of the tape provides gentle sensory stimulation to various types of sensory receptors in the skin during movement. The brain processes these sensations at different rates which result in the tape allowing the following five main functions to happen:

Lymphatic Function: removes congestion of lymphatic fluid or haemorrhages (bruising) under the skin. Stimulates the mechanisms that facilitate the movement of lymphatic fluid.
Skin Function: relieves pain or abnormal feeling on the skin and muscles, stimulates the skin.
Fascia Function: return homeostasis to the fascial matrix.
Muscle Function: supports the muscle in movement both for weak and tight muscles. Elastic properties of the tape replicate and enhance the function of muscle fibres and tendons.
Joint Function: corrects misalignment of the joint. Improves alignment of structure through its affect on muscle layers and pain therefore enhancing correct posture.
Who should apply Kinesio® Tex Tape?

Dr Kase founded the Kinesio Taping Association International (KTAI). KTAI, through nationally recognized providers within over 70 countries worldwide, offers training to practitioners who may work in one of the following professions: Medicine, Nursing, Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Chiropractics and Sports Therapy. Training is undertaken at 3 levels and when level 3 is completed and after passing a written exam, the practitioner will have the letters CKTP after their name, standing for Certified Kinesio Taping Practitioner, and should be registered with the KTA. When the practitioner is registered with the KTA it is a guarantee that they are practising a technique which they have been officially certified to do, thus offering patients/clients security against unofficial and copy techniques. CKTP in the UK can be verified on the following website: Kinesio UK
