Abstract
A pre-cut piece of kinesiology tape is provided, the pre-cut piece of kinesiology tape having a shape that facilitates a predetermined purpose (such as pain relief, inflammation reduction, muscle inhibition, etc.). The pre-cut piece of kinesiology tape comprises a flexible fabric layer and an adhesive layer. The fabric layer is embedded with microencapsulated essential oils.
Claims17
A kinesiology tape comprising:
- a flexible fabric layer, the fabric layer comprising a weave of fibers, the fibers comprising at least some elastic fibers covered in cotton, and wherein the fabric layer further comprises at least one microencapsulated essential oil;
- an adhesive layer connected to the fabric layer, the adhesive layer comprising one or more strips of adhesive connected to the fabric layer such that the adhesive layer does not cover the fabric layer entirely;
- wherein the kinesiology tape has a pre-cut shape, the pre-cut shape comprising one of an elongate strip for cutting, a pre-cut strip, a pre-sized strip, a perforated strip, a spooled strip, a premeasured strip, an I-shape, a Y-shape, a V-shape, an L-shape, a star shape, and an X-shape.
A kinesiology tape comprising:
- a flexible fabric layer, and wherein the flexible fabric layer further comprises at least two microencapsulated essential oils;
- an adhesive layer connected to the fabric layer, the adhesive layer comprising one or more strips of adhesive connected to the fabric layer such that the adhesive layer does not cover the fabric layer entirely;
- wherein the kinesiology tape has a pre-cut shape, the pre-cut shape comprising an oval shape with one or more cut-outs.
A method of treating muscle pain, the method comprising:
- providing one or more pre-cut shapes of kinesiology tape, the one or more pre-cut shapes of kinesiology tape being selected from:
- an elongate strip for cutting, a pre-cut strip, a pre-sized strip, a perforated strip, a spooled strip, a premeasured strip, an I-shape, a Y-shape, a V-shape, an L-shape, a star shape, and an X-shape, and wherein the kinesiology tape comprises a flexible woven fabric layer and an adhesive layer;
- wherein the kinesiology tape is embedded with at least one of the following microencapsulated essential oils:
- peppermint, helichrysum, ginger, black pepper, clove, eucalyptus, rosemary, and marjoram;
- and
- applying at least one of the pre-cut shapes of kinesiology tape to a subject in need thereof.
3 more elements
A method of manufacturing kinesiology tape, the method comprising:
- selecting a fabric layer, the fabric layer comprising a weave of fibers, the fibers comprising at least some elastic fibers covered in a covering;
- attaching an adhesive layer to a distal side of the fabric layer, the adhesive layer comprising one or more strips of adhesive connected to the fabric layer such that the adhesive layer has a first width and the fabric layer has a second width, the second width being greater than the first width;
- cutting the fabric layer and adhesive layer into a pre-cut shape selected for its ability to reduce at least one of the following:
- pain, inflammation, and tension;
- embedding the fabric layer with at least one microencapsulated essential oil.
