Kinesio taping is a therapeutic technique that uses a special elastic tape to support muscles, joints, and other tissues in the body. It was developed in the 1970s by Dr. Kenzo Kase, a Japanese chiropractor. The distinctive feature of kinesio tape is its elasticity and ability to stretch and recoil like human skin.

If you are considering kinesio taping, it is best to consult with a healthcare professional who can assess your condition, determine if kinesio taping is appropriate for you, and provide guidance on the proper application and use of the tape.
