Kinesio TEX Performance+ Tape

Kinesio TEX Performance+ Tape

Tex Performance Plus Tape uses a new, lightweight design to allow for even more flexibility and multi-directional movement. This innovative design lifts the superficial layers of skin and tissue and will facilitate the flow of lymphatic fluid. The Tex Performance+ gently stimulates the area while providing the necessary support to prevent soreness. This new design of Kinesio Tape is water-resistant, easy to apply and take off and can be worn multiple days before being discarded. The tape is hypoallergenic, latex-free, and has been proven not to agitate sensitive skin.

Performance+ Tape is deigned as a combination between the TEX Gold FP Tape and the original TEX Classic Tape. TEX Gold FP targets the surface layer of the skin. The Classic Tape targets the deeper skin layers. Performance+ targets the middle layers between the two. The middle layer contains the fascia and shallow muscles which are considered to be a shrinkable part when absorbing pressure from the surface and deep skin layers. Performance+ is created to release the pressure that accumulates in this middle area. Utilizing a snowflake tape cut, Performance+ is designed to assist and relieve pressure to the middle area.

Vitality Medical also carries Kinesio Tape Manuals that provide step by step procedures on how to prepare and apply this special sport tape.
