Embodiment Construction

[0024] Reference will now be made to the drawings, wherein like structures will be provided with like reference numerals. It is to be understood that the drawings are diagrammatic and schematic representations of some embodiments of the invention, not limitations of the invention, and that they are not necessarily drawn to scale.

[0025] In addition to providing support, adhesive Kinesio Taping is also used by athletes to enhance athletic performance, and by athletes and non-athletes to relieve muscle pain, to aid in injury healing, and to prevent injury. When applied to a body part where the skin is taut, the elastic properties of the adhesive Kinesio Taping provide an outward stretching or "lifting" force to the skin after the skin returns to its unstretched position, by helping Dilates the capillaries in the lymphatic system and subcutaneous layer to provide enhanced fluid flow at the patch site. Plus, this stretch can provide counterbalance to muscle strains.

Abstract

One example embodiment includes a pre-cut strip of kinesiology tape. The pre-cut strip of kinesiology tape includes a fabric. The fabric includes a weave of fibers, where the fibers include an elastic fiber covered by a covering material. The fabric also includes a first end and a second end, where the second end is opposite the first end. The fabric further includes one or more rounded corners. The pre-cut strip of kinesiology tape also includes a longitudinal cut in the fabric. The longitudinal cut passes through at least a portion of the fabric and extends from the first end to a pre-determined distance from the second end. The pre-cut strip of kinesiology tape also includes adhesive on a first surface of the fabric, where the adhesive is configured to adhere the fabric to a human body.
