Kinesio Taping
What is Kinesio Taping?
The Kinesio Taping Method involves taping over and around muscles in order to assist and
give support to weak or over stretched muscles or to prevent over-contraction of tight muscles
(muscle spasms). This technique gives support while maintaining full range of motion,
enabling the individual to participate in physical activity with functional assistance. The method
and tape allow the individual to receive the therapeutic benefits 24 hours per day because it
can be worn for several days per application.
Kinesio Taping affects the activation of neurological and circulatory systems. Muscles are not
only attributed to the movements of the body but also control the circulation of venous and
lymph flows, body temperature, etc. Therefore, the failure of the muscles to function properly
induces various kinds of symptoms. Consequently, so much attention was given to the
importance of muscle function that the idea of treating the muscles in order to activate the
body's own healing process came about. Using an elastic tape, it was discovered that
muscles and other tissues could be helped by outside assistance. Employment of Kinesio
Taping creates a totally new approach to treating nerves, muscles, and organs. Currently,
Kinesio Taping is used in hospitals, clinics, universities, high schools, and by professional
sports teams.
