Kinesiology Taping is a tool which is used by physiotherapist to support joint and muscle groups by applying a elastic tape on the skin in specific angles. It has become increasingly popular within athletes recently. Taping has been used for a long time for the prevention and treatment of sports injuries and a variety of other conditions as well.
It is helpful in relieving pain and improving the healing in soft tissues. There are many benefits of Kinesio taping and few of them are mentioned below:
- Decreased Pain: By gently applying pressure, kinesiology tape helps to relieve pain.
-Increased Circulation and Decreased Inflammation: The tape improves circulation of oxygenated blood and lymphatic fluids. Circulation flushes out irritants and toxins hence reducing inflammation.
-Improved Posture and Muscle Support: Taping can increase support to the muscles and also helps to maintain good posture. Kinesio taping also helps weak muscles to work effectively & efficiently. It also reduces muscle pain, muscle fatigue and protects against cramping, over-extension, and over-contraction.
-Improved Athletic Performance: taping can prompt higher performance by supporting unstable joints. You may feel dependent on other assistive devices for support and stability while Kinesiology tape trains the body to become independent and efficient.
