Kinesio Taping Method is a therapeutic tool utilized by rehabilitation specialists in all programs (paediatric, geriatric, orthopaedic, neurological, oncology and others) and levels of care (acute care, inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient, home care and Day Rehab). The idea of using elastic tape to mimic the therapist's hands was first presented by Dr. Kenzo Kase in the 1970s. Since then it became the modality used in pain management, soft tissue injury, tissue and joints malalignment, oedema, and more. Kinesio Taping Method utilizes four types of Kinesio Tex Tapes, each one with specific properties designed to use on fragile skin, sensitive skin or applied with higher tensions. Kinesio Taping Method has also been found effective in treating animals[8] and two special tapes are used: Kinesio Equine and Kinesio Canine. Kinesio Tex Tape contains either 100% cotton and elastic fibres or it can be a blend of polyester and cotton with elastic fibres. The latter is a preferable choice for Kinesio Taping application on sensitive skin when higher tensions on the tape are needed for the desired outcome. The tape is applied on the paper backing using an acrylic adhesive and with 10-15% stretch. This amount of stretch is used with some Kinesio Taping techniques and is referred to as "paper off tension".
