Kinesio Taping What is it?
Kinesio Taping: what is it?
It is a non-invasive technique which consists of applying an elastic cotton tape with an adhesive on the skin, capable of stimulating the neuro-muscular activity, favoring the body's self-healing process.
Therefore applied directly on the skin, in the part above the musculature, depending on the position and the tension exercised, it acts mechanically, not inhibiting any movement, but limiting only the part of the traumatized muscle.
Furthermore, the taping patch by lifting the skin promotes lymphatic drainage and the consequent protection of tendons and ligaments allowing the correct position of the joints.
