Kinesio tape isn't for everyone, however. If you have experienced allergic reactions to adhesives in the past, you may have a reaction to this tape. You also should avoid KT if you have deep vein thrombosis, which is a blood clot in the arm or leg, as taping may dislodge the clot. Finally, never apply Kinesio tape over open wounds or infected areas. Use it only on unbroken, healthy skin.
