What is physio therapy kinesiology tape?

Kinesio tape was first made in Japan by KensoKase, D.C. in the late 1970s, Dr. C invented the prefix from the English word "Kinesiology". The original intention of the design is to maintain a certain range of joint activity while having a certain protective effect on musculoskeletal and joint. At the same time, he also created a set of independent theoretical systems.

The structure of physio therapy kinesiology tape:

There are three layers of the intramuscular patch: the outermost layer is breathable and elastic waterproof cotton cloth (so the patch can be stretched within a certain limit, up to 130-150%), the middle layer is usually acrylic adhesive, and the inner layer is back affinity paper. The glue surface of the middle layer is water wavy (the width, spacing, wavelength, and amplitude of the waviness are specified), and the waviness is also the key technology that the official claims to make the sticking cloth play a role. The glue coated on the qualified patch shall pass the biocompatibility test, which is generally not easy to cause skin allergy and does not contain any pharmaceutical ingredients.
