Kinesiology taping

Kinesiology taping

Kinesiology taping is a therapeutic taping method developed by Japanese chiropractor Kenzo Kase. The method involves taping over and around muscles in order to enhance proprioception by stimulating cutaneous mechanoreceptors and provide functional stimulation, mechanical correction or support to the joints without restricting a healthy range of motion, release fascia and normalize fascia and muscle tension, redirect stress to other muscles and ligaments, reduce pain, swelling, improve blood circulation and lymphatic drainage and metabolism during the inflammatory process.

The highlights of kinesiology taping

Kinesiology tape is constructed of fine, breathable, stretchable material, usually cotton or a cotton blend. This tape adheres to the skin with a medically approved, water- and sweat-proof adhesive. It comes in latex-free and hypoallergenic varieties for people who may be allergic to latex. The tape can usually stay in place for three or five days even while showering or exercising.

Kinesiology tape can be applied to any joint or muscle of the body, and the desired result can be achieved by using various kinesiology taping techniques. In order to apply the most appropriate taping technique for the patient’s condition, it is important to conduct a detailed functional examination of the patient in advance.

Kinesiology tape is available in red, blue, black, beige, green, pink or mixed colors. According to the inventor of the method, the colors are not chosen by chance, this is color therapy. Before starting taping, the physiotherapist evaluates which color suits the patient best. Many people think that this can be an insignificant thing, but as practice shows, even the smallest detail is very important in treatment. 

Taping can be applied to both children and adults or women during pregnancy.

The most common possible side effect of kinesiology taping is an allergic skin reaction to the adhesive.
