Help Relieve Your Athletes’ Muscle, Ligament, and Tendon Aches and Pains with Kinesiology (Kinesio) Tape

It’s time to take your taping to the next level. Invented by a Japanese chiropractor in the 1970s, kinesiology tape (also known as kinesio tape or KT tape) is designed to reduce pain, decrease swelling, and improve muscle performance. Unlike athletic tape, which is designed to limit movement and circulation, kinesiology tape is a flexible material that moves when you move.

Kinesio tape can be applied to many different parts of the body, including:

• Abdominals
• Back
• Biceps and triceps
• Calves
• Elbows
• Fingers and thumb
• Gluteus
• Hamstrings
• Hips
• Knees
• Neck
• Quads
• Ribs
• Shins
• Shoulders
• Spine
• Wrists

In addition to treating everyday strains and aches of muscles, tendons, and ligaments, kinesiology tape can be used to supplement treatment for:

• Achilles and peroneal tendonitis
• Ankle instability
• Bunions
• Golfer’s elbow and tennis elbow
• Osgood-Schlatter disease
• Plantar fasciitis
• Rotator cuff pain
• Shin splints
• Shoulder instability
• Turf toe

In many cases, the tape adhesive is breathable and stretchy, while maintaining the flexibility of skin and muscles. Henry Schein offers kinesiology tape in a wide range of colors from leading brands including Cramer and Mueller.
