    Study Notes

    • Kinesio tape has five physiological effects: skin, circulatory/lymphatic, fascia, muscle, and joint.
    • The appropriate tape shape is based on clinical assessment, technique, and body area to be treated.
    • Kinesio taping involves assessment, tape application, and reassessment.
    • Each strip of Kinesio tape contains three zones: anchor, therapeutic, and base.
    • Tension guidelines range from super light to full tension.
    • There are six categories of Kinesio Taping corrective techniques.
    • Mechanical, fascia, space, ligament/tendon, functional, and circulatory/lymphatic are the six categories.
    • Each technique has a specific tension range and application method.
    • Kinesio tape can reduce pain, increase range of motion, and assist with tissue recovery.
    • The tape can also improve joint biomechanics, reduce muscle guarding and pain, and enhance kinesthetic awareness.
