Kinesiotaping taping gives support and stability to your joints and muscles without affecting circulation and range of motion. It is also used for preventive maintenance, swelling, and pain management.
These taping techniques exhibit have their effect through the activation of neurological and circulatory systems in the body. Also, the means by which taping techniques work essentially are related to the concept of proprioception, or your body’s ability to know where it is in space.
Using an Kinesiotap tape, it was discovered that muscles and other tissues could be helped by external assistance. Employment of various taping techniques creates a totally new approach to treating neuromusculoskeletal complaints. For the first 10 years, orthopedists, chiropractors, physiotherapists, acupuncturists and other medical practitioners were the main users of sport specific taping techniques as part of their treatment. Soon thereafter, the word spread to other disciplines; they soon began employing these novel taping techniques to help athletes achieve peak and optimal performance through the application of supportive and unrestricting elastic tape. Taping is now accepted by medical practitioners and athletes in Japan, United States, Europe, South America and other Asian countries.
These taping methods are applied over muscles to reduce pain and inflammation, relax overused tired muscles, and to support muscles in movement on a 24hr/day basis. It is non-restrictive type of taping which allows for full range of motion.
