Kineso Taping
Kinesology Tape, better known as kineso
tape or KT is another "tool" we use to
help reduce pain and correct muscle
issues.
KT I think is best described as like an
elastic duct tape. It has elasticity and
has great adhesion as it is to stay on for
5-7 days ideally.
Basics of how it works. When applied
because of the stretch it lifts the skin
creating space between the tissue layers.
(space that is suppose to be there
naturally, however when muscles get tight
and stop their regular movement, the
tissues get stuck together. Kind of like
gluing construction paper together as a
kid).
This space allows for regular blood flow,
which is impeded with thigh muscles.
The KT helps separate the tissues giving
more movement to each tissue layer
separately, increasing the limited blood
flow which assists in reduction of
swelling. As all this occurs pain is
reduced, motion is restored, and life gets
better again.
It contains no medications, or topical
agents
