Kinesio taping physiotherapy techniques are a form of therapeutic and rehabilitative taping. Commonly used for treatment of muscular disorders, as well as the management of acute and chronic swelling. Kinesio taping assists is several ways from:
• Increasing the fluid flow through an injured area.
• Better control over muscle contractions.
• Reducing pain.
• and ultimately helping encourage faster healing.
Kinesio taping allows the wearer to move through their full range of movement. With the right taping techniques, Kinesio taping can either strongly assist, resist, facilitate, inhibit or offload tissue through its movement.
• Kinesio tape can act in such a way to mimic the action of an injured muscle or tendon.
• Resulting in decreased workload and improved biomechanical efficiency of the muscle and tendon unit as well as improving the unit tolerance to fatigue.
• Reducing this workload and increasing fatigue resistance can result in less pain. Promote better healing, improved endurance and overall performance.
