What is Kinesio Taping?
Kinesio taping is a rehabilitative method used to support the body’s own healing process by stabilizing muscles and joints. Unlike conventional athletic tape, which is hard and uncomfortable, Kinesio tape is very elastic and replicates the properties of human skin.
- Lifting Effect: The tape softly lifts the layer of skin and connected metabolic tissue away from the muscle, hence creating a lifting effect.
- Decompression: By doing this, a little space is created that makes the pressure in one place go down and lets blood and lymphatic fluids flow better.
- Neurological Input: The tape’s sensory stimulation on the skin might hide pain signals that are sent to the brain.
- Versatility: Modern sports medicine and physical therapy make use of this tool in many ways, including correcting posture and lowering acute edema.
