{"title":"Kinesiology Tape","description":"\u003cp\u003eKinesiology tape, also called elastic therapeutic tape or KT tape, is a thin, stretchy cotton tape with an adhesive on one side. Unlike rigid tape, which is thick and holds a joint still, it is applied directly over a joint or muscle and moves with the body, so it can be worn during practice, sport and everyday activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis selection includes rolls in different widths, lengths, colors and tape constructions.

It is made of high-grade cotton for breathability and comfort, it is water resistant, hypoallergenic and latex free, and it is made for multiple-day wear. Each standard roll is 2 in x 13.1 ft (5 cm x 4 m) and gives 5 to 6 applications, and the tape comes in five colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike rigid tape, which is thick, does not stretch and is used to hold a joint still, kinesiology tape is thin and stretchy and goes directly over a joint, so it does not limit movement and can be worn while you practice and compete. Kinesio Tex Classic provides support and stability for event and sport use, and it is suited to deep stimulation that targets muscles, ligaments and joint correction. For best results it is applied at 0 to 100% tension, and it is recommended for I and Y strip applications. Tape like this may give joints and muscles extra support and some temporary relief of sore joints; research has yet to show a lasting benefit, so it works best as one part of the care a provider recommends. Commonly taped areas include the Achilles tendon, ankle, upper or lower back, knee, neck, shoulder and the sole of the foot. Genuine Kinesio tape always has KINESIO printed on its backing paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features and Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal Kinesio elastic therapeutic tape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides support and stability without limiting movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuited to deep stimulation of muscles, ligaments and joint correction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplied at 0 to 100% tension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended for I and Y strip applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-grade cotton for breathability and comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple-day wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach roll is 2 in x 13.1 ft (5 cm x 4 m) and gives 5 to 6 applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHypoallergenic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLatex free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKinesio Tex Classic Elastic Therapeutic Tape, Water Resistant, Latex-Free Chart\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMPN\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSold Unit\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCKT65024\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBeige\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle roll\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCKT75024\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle roll\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCKT85024\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle roll\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCKT95024\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle roll\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e756 0092 05\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle roll\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Apply Kinesio Tex Classic Tape\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHave someone help you apply it where you can; assistance is recommended.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake sure the skin is clean, dry and free of oil and lotion, removing any excess oil, lotion, sweat or dirt before you apply the tape.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStretch (elongate) the area to be taped before applying the tape.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse care when applying tension to the tape; for best results apply it at 0 to 100% tension.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRub the tape to activate the adhesive.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWait 35 to 45 minutes before vigorous activity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWearing and Removing the Tape\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is normal for wrinkles (convolutions) to appear in the tape when it is on the skin and the muscles are relaxed. Take care, as clothing can catch the edges of the tape. When the tape gets wet, pat or blot it dry rather than wiping it, and do not use a hair dryer: direct heat can make it over-adhere and hard to remove. Do not remove the tape in the shower or bath; for easier removal, soak it with a body oil such as baby oil or massage oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePrecautions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsult your physician prior to use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you are diabetic, pregnant, or have poor circulation, nerve damage, a skin condition or an allergy to adhesives, seek medical advice before use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeek medical advice if the condition is severe or does not improve within 5 days.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not use on open wounds or on broken or irritated skin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTest a small area of skin for sensitivity first; a test patch is highly recommended if you have high allergic tendencies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStop usage immediately if skin sensitivity occurs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep out of reach of children.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStorage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStore in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight and away from high temperatures, and use by the expiry date shown on the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Scrip","offers":[{"title":"Beige","offer_id":39412589625457,"sku":"FJ755009201","price":13.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue","offer_id":44384098025585,"sku":"FJ755009202","price":13.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red","offer_id":44384098058353,"sku":"FJ755009203","price":13.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":44384098091121,"sku":"FJ756009204","price":13.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":44384098123889,"sku":"FJ756009205","price":13.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0070\/7723\/2695\/products\/scrip-kinesio-tex-classic-elastic-athletic-tape-755-0092-01.jpg?v=1788110321"}],"url":"https:\/\/medicinalsupplies.com\/collections\/kinesiology-tape.oembed","provider":"Medicinal Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
