The Kinesio TapingĀ® technique and Kinesio Tex tapeĀ® was developed by Dr. Kenzo Kase in Japan more than 25 yrs ago. He found that standard taping techniques, such as athletic taping and strapping, provided muscle and joint support, however, they reduced range of motion, did not support the fascia and, in some cases, inhibited the actual healing process of traumatised tissue. A new treatment approach was needed.
