Kinesio Tape: Uses, Research Studies & Pain Treatment

 

What is Kinesio Tape?

Kinesio Taping gives support and stability to your joints and muscles without affecting circulation and range of motion. Kinesio Taping is a therapeutic taping technique that supports fascia, muscles, and joints while allowing an unrestricted range of motion.9 Kinesio Tape, or KT, is theorized to help with lymphatic and blood circulation, and therefore reducing pain, inflammation and recovery times.

Kinesio Tape Research Studies:

A systematic review by Borchers, et. al reviewed 6 studies that researched the efficacy of Kinesio Taping for musculoskeletal injury.37 The review found insufficient evidence to either support or oppose the use of KT to prevent injury, decrease inflammation and pain not related to injury, and recovery time.37
