Kinesio Taping® was developed by Dr. Kenzo Kase in Japan more than 25 yrs ago. He noticed that existing taping techniques – such as athletic taping and strapping – provided muscle and joint support but had negative consequences: they reduced the range of motion, failed to support the fascia and, in some cases, inhibited the actual healing process of traumatised tissue.   

Kinesio taping supports joints and muscles without restricting range of motion and has benefits for the lympathic system – supporting reduction of swelling.  

Kinesio therapy is now widely used by sports men and women to accelerate recovery from injury – and it also allows them to continue playing during hte recovery phase.  But it is also useful for recovery from any muscle or soft tissue injury.
