What is Kinesio Taping?
The Kinesio Taping method has taken the Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine
world by storm. Since development by Dr Kenzo nearly 20 years ago in Japan, Kinesio
Taping has become the standard for therapeutic taping in the US. The methd of
taping uses a uniquely designed and patented tape for treatment of muscular disorders
and lymphedema reduction.
Since the introduction of Kinesio Taping into the US, medical practitioners
from PT's, ATC's, OT's, DC's, MT's to MD's have recognised and embraced this effective,
safe, and easy-to-use modality. The method and tape allow the individual to wear
and recieve the therapeutic benefits on a 24-hours/day basis, and can be worn
several days per application. Currently, Kinesio Taping is practiced in hospitals,
clinics, universities, high schools, and by professional sports teams.
The Kinesio Taping method involves taping over and around muscles in order
to either: assist and give muscle support, or to prevent over contraction of muscles.
The first technique gives the practitioner opportunity to actually give support
with full range of motion that enables the individual to participate in physical
activity with functional assistance. The second helps fight against overuse/contraction
and helps provide 24 hrs/day facilitation of lymphatic fluid. This technique is
most commonly used in acute state of rehabilitation. Lastly, there are many types
of correctional techniques such as: myofascial, lymph, and tracking (eg. patella).
Kinesio Tex Tape can also be used in conjunction with other therapies including
cryotherapy, hydrotherapy, massage therapy and electric stem.
