Kinesio Tex Classic is thin and highly elastic with the ability to stretch up to 140% of its original length. If the therapist applies the tape after stretching it, it will recoil after application and create a pulling force on the skin. This increases the space below the sin and facilitates blood flow and circulation of lymphatic fluids.
The tape is made from 100% cotton and is latex free with a heat activated acrylic adhesive. Its cotton fibres allow for quicker drying which in turn makes it possible to wear the tape for up to 4 days at a time.

Colleen Prendergast –
Kinesio Tex Classic is a product with a wide range of uses. It can be used to support
muscles, ligaments and tendons, as well as providing pain relief from injuries such as
sprains, strains and tears.
I often use Kinesio Tex Classic on my patients for its supportive capabilities and capacity to reduce swelling, thus reducing pain.
Personally, I have injured my hamstring in the past. It was difficult to walk or run without discomfort. However, using Kinesio Tex Classic helped me heal quickly and get back in the gym faster than I had been able to in the past.
Before application, be sure that skin is clear of oils and dirt. Hair removal of the desired area is also preferable.
For best results have the tape applied by a qualified health care professional.
