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.
