What
Exactly is Kinesio Taping®?
Kinesio
Taping is a technique based on the body's own natural healing process.
This Kinesio Taping exhibits its efficacy through the activation
of neurological and circulatory systems. This method basically stems
from the science of Kinesiology. Hence the name "Kinesio". Muscles
are not only to move the body but also control the circulation of
venous and lymph flows, body temperature, etc. Therefore, the failure
of the muscles to function properly induces various kinds of symptoms.
Consequently,
so much attention was given to the importance of muscle function that
the idea of treating the muscles in order to activate the body's own
healing process came about. Using an elastic tape, it was discovered
that muscles and other tissues could be helped by outside assistance.
Employment of Kinesio Taping creates a totally new approach to treating
nerves, muscles, and organs. The first application of Kinesio Taping
was for a patient with articular disorders.
For
the first 10 years, orthopedists, chiropractors, acupuncturists and
other medical practitioners were the main users of Kinesio Taping.
Soon thereafter, Kinesio Taping was discovered by Olympic volleyball
players in Japan and word quickly spread to other athletes. Today,
Kinesio Taping is accepted by medical practitioners and athletes in
Japan, United States, Europe, South America and other Asian countries
as well.
