Kinesio tape is an elastic tape that has multiple purposes depending on where and how it is applied. It is often used to reduce pain, improve strength and encourage optimal alignment.

Children that can benefit from this elastic tape are kids with

• Cerebral Palsy
• Conditions with weakness or paralysis of a certain body part
• Down Syndrome
• Children with gait abnormalities such as toe-walking or flat feet
• Low muscle tone
• Decreased coordination
• Torticollis
• Lymphedma
• Painful orthopedic injury

Kinesio tape is safe to use on children. It can stay on for 3-5 days, is latex free, waterproof and it stretches so the child is still able to move with it.
