Kinesio Taping Elastic Therapeutic Tape Tex Gold FP - Beige - 2 in. x 103 ft

Kinesio Tex Gold FP – ReEvolution-ary Muscle & Joint Support Tape, developed exclusively for Kinesio professionals, is the authentic original elastic muscle and medical tape invented by Kinesio founder Dr. Kenzo Kase. Backed by research and development since the early 1970's, Kinesio continues to make advancements in technology that further the ReEvolution and fulfill the original vision: Taping the World for Health.

The famous wave pattern of Kinesio Tex Gold FP provides enhanced and patented Fingerprint [FP] technology and patented Nano Touch stimulation to the epidermis and superficial layers of the skin. Kinesio Tex Gold FP mimics a gentle human touch while providing a Micro-grip deep set adhesive, applied during the manufacturing process, resulting in improved grip and hold with less adhesive surface area.

Kinesio Tex Gold FP is a super thin athletic tape that is approximately the same thickness and elasticity of skin and muscles. The taping technique is based on the body's own natural healing process and works to activate the neurological and circulatory systems. With an improved cotton weave – that employs FingerPrint (FP), Nano-touch and Micro-grip technologies – Kinesio Tex Gold FP provides a full range of motion, support and stability, without adversely affecting the natural range of motion.

Kinesio Tex Gold FP sport and medical tape is designed for a 30-40% longitudinal-only stretch that lifts the skin and provides soreness, edema and inflammation relief, as well as support for surrounding soft tissue – without restricting range of motion. The elastic therapeutic tape is hypoallergenic and latex-free, and utilizes high-grade cotton that can be worn continuously for 3-5 days for maximum effectiveness. The heat-activated, medical-grade acrylic adhesive is made of porous material that allows the skin under the tape to breathe and helps moisture dissipate quickly, allowing it to withstand sweating, showering and swimming.

The Kinesio Taping Association highly recommends that you consult a CKTP (Certified Kinesio Taping Practitioner) prior to applying Kinesio Tex Tape. Dr. Kenzo Kase, an American-trained chiropractor, is best known as the inventor of Kinesio Tex Tape and the Kinesio Taping Method. Elastic therapeutic tape has become a common modality in rehabilitation, and it started with Dr. Kase, who recognized the need for a new approach in the 1970s when he was observing and treating rheumatoid arthritis patients. Forty years later, his method has changed how rehabilitation is practiced.
