Kinesio taping is a technique that uses elastic therapeutic tape to provide support and stability to muscles and joints while allowing full range of motion. It is commonly used to reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal injuries or conditions like tendinitis, sprains, and muscle strains.
The tape is applied to specific areas of the body in a way that stimulates the skin and underlying tissue to promote circulation, reduce muscle fatigue, and improve lymphatic drainage. Kinesio taping is also used to enhance proprioception and facilitate optimal movement patterns during rehabilitation.
Kinesio taping is a non-invasive, effective treatment for managing pain and supporting recovery without restricting the movement necessary for rehabilitation and functional recovery.
