The Who’s Who of Sports
United States Postal
Service Cycling Team
Lance Armstrong’s
Every Second Counts
• "Something better than any laser, wrap,
or electric massager....The Tape.
• It is a special hot-pink athletic tape that
came from Japan and seemed to have
special powers.
• …tape(d) us all up, different parts of our
bodies...George's back, Chechu's knees.
• Sometimes we'd be so wrapped up
…that we'd look like dolls, a bunch of
broken dolls.
• But the next day the pain disappeared-it was gone."
Professional Soccer Leagues
Over 75% of MLB teams
Over 50% of NFL teams
“I am pleased with the results we
are receiving from using Kinesio
tape. We have used Kinesio tape
on a number of lower leg injuries
with great results.”
“We have found a multitude of
uses for the tape. We have
found great results in using the
KT for support and stabilization.
It definitely helps our players
stay on the field.”

Before Taping
Cerebral Palsy
Look at the changes:
 What was inhibited?
 What was facilitated?
 You cannot tell just from looking
at the tape
After Taping
Cerebral Palsy
• Lower Trapezius facilitation
• Trunk Extensors to improve
weight shift
• Shoulder external rotation to
align Humerus
After Taping
Application of Kinesio Taping
• Assess/Screen
• Tape
• Re-assess
• X, I, Y & Fan cuts
(the Y & I cuts are most common)
Basic Applications Concept
D to P (I to O)
Distal  Proximal
To inhibit overused muscle- Acute conditions, muscle spasm
15% to 25% tension
P to D (O to I)
Proximal  Distal
To facilitate weak muscle-chronic conditions, rehabilitation
15% to 35% tension
Therapeutic Direction is the recoil of the tape toward the anchor
Therapeutic Zone is the targeted tissue
Application of Kinesio
Taping
• Kinesio Tex tape is generally
applied to stretched tissue, with
appropriate stretch added to the
tape
• Less is more
• No tension on the anchor or end
Kinesio Taping Vocabulary
•
Paper Off Tension Tape is applied with the 10 - 15% tension off the
substrate.
•
P to D applied with 15 - 35% tension
•
D to P applied with 15 - 25% tension
•
Tensions greater than 50% are for Corrective techniques only (KT2)
Application of Kinesio Taping
• Skin should be free of oils and dry
• After application, lightly rub the tape to activate the heat sensitive
adhesive
• Tape application in moist areas or prior to swimming: apply 30 - 40
minutes prior to activity
• Tape both the pain, and cause of the pain
Limitations of Kinesio Taping
• Body hair may need to be clipped or shaved
• Apply tape approx. 30 minutes before activity
• Application during activity, may require the use of a tape adherent
• Patient education is important component to success of application
Removal Of
Kinesio Tex Tape
• Remove in direction of hair growth
• Roll the tape off using the base of the
hand to brush/ pat skin gently to
reduce discomfort
Removal Of
Kinesio Tex Tape
“Skin from tape” method:
• Pull the skin back from the tape
• Tape may be removed while bathing
• Soap, hand lotion or oil (baby or
mineral) may be applied to the tape to
break the adhesive bonds comfortably
Initial Difficulties with
• Unlearn traditional athletic tape
application methods
• Proper patient assessment is
critical
• Taping for neurological and
lymphatic as well as orthopedic
conditions

sections, the upper, middle and lower
fibers
• The middle fibers assist in adduction while
the lower fibers help in rotation,
suppression, and adduction of the arm.
• If the middle Trapezius becomes weak,
then as the upper limb is raised the
scapula slips laterally
• When the lower Trapezius is not working,
then the arm can not be raised in flexion of
the trunk

strong extensor of the knee, is
made up of four muscles, namely
the Rectus Femoris, Vastus
Lateralis, Intermedius and
Medialis.
• Within this group only the Rectus
Femoris traverses two joints. It
means that this muscle is used in
the movement of two joints. This
muscle also works in flexion of the
hip.

Epicondylitis Application
• Lateral Epicondylitis results from repetitive extension of the forearm and
wrist with excessive pronation.
• It is generally associated with overhead activities such as tennis,
racquetball, and baseball.
• The Kinesio Taping Technique will assist in reducing pain and edema, while
re-educating the extensor muscles in the forearm.
Kinesio Taping Medial
• Medial Epicondylitis results from repetitive forceful flexion of the wrist
and valgus force on the elbow.
• The Kinesio Taping Technique will assist in reducing pain and edema as
well as re-educating the flexor muscles of the forearm.

surround the area of pain
• For Lateral Epicondylitis, reverse the
application
Kinesio Taping Shoulder
Instability and Subluxation
• Shoulder instabilities can develop after acute dislocations, chronic
subluxation, or long term overuse activities.
• The Kinesio Taping Technique will assist in reducing edema, pain, and
provide proprioceptive stimulus, while re-educating the neuromuscular
system of the shoulder.
• Begin with the Kinesio Taping Deltoid
