DEVICE

Kinesio Taping

Kinesio Taping is a special taping method developed by Dr. Kenzo Kase in 1973. This technique triggers natural healing responses of human body by activating nervous and circulatory systems. The tapes are thin, latex-free, cotton, porous and anti-allergenic, with equal thickness of epidermis. It has elastic properites which allows the tape to elongate to %55-60 of its original lenght. Tape can be used up to 1 week even after sweating or cleaning with water. There are different application techniques for different purposes. Facilitation technique facilitates muscle contractions and supports muscle function. Mechancial correction technique is used for joint positioning and correcting motion of muscle-joint dynamics.
