    Kinesio taping is a technique that uses elastic tape applied to the skin to assist or prevent overcontraction of muscles. It is believed to affect the neurological and circulatory systems by lifting the skin and increasing blood and lymphatic fluid flow. There are two application methods - unstretched which lifts the skin after application, and stretched which provides correction and stabilization for injured joints. Indications include lower back pain, plantar fasciitis, patellar tendinitis, and ankle stabilization. Precautions include fragile skin, radiation treated skin, known cancer sites, open wounds, or risk of blood clots.

    kinesio Taping

    Done by: Rawan Al Dhabi


    :Introduction
    Muscles are not only attributed to the movements of the
    body, they 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, more
    attention was given to the importance of muscle function
    in order to activate the body's own healing process.
    When using the kinesio tape it was discovered that
    muscles and other tissues could be helped by outside
    assistance, because it affects the activation of the
    neurological and the circulatory systems.
    :Definition
    The Kinesio Taping Method involves
    taping over and around muscles in
    order to assist and give
    support or to prevent
    over-contraction.
    Pathological Effects
    Pathological Effects
    Muscles constantly extend and contract within a normal
    range. However, when muscles over-extend or over
    contract, muscles can not recover and become inflamed.

    When a muscle is inflamed, swollen or stiff due to fatigue,


    the space between the skin and muscle is compressed,
    resulting in constriction to the flow of lymphatic fluid.

    This compression also applies pressure to the pain


    receptors beneath the skin, which in turn communicates
    "discomfort signals" to the brain and emdash.

    Concepts
    Kinesio Taping Method Concepts
    There are two ways to apply Kinesio® Tape:

    Un stretched.

    stretched.
    Kinesio Taping Method Concepts
    UN STRETCHED:
    In this case, we stretch the skin of the affected area
    before application of the tape. This is done by
    stretching the muscles and joints in the affected area.
    After application, the taped skin will form
    convolutions when the skin and muscles contract back
    to their normal position. When the skin is lifted by
    this technique, subcutaneous flow of blood and
    lymphatic fluid is increased.
    Kinesio Taping Method Concepts

    After application of the kinesio tape


    Kinesio Taping Method Concepts
    STRETCHED :
    if joints or ligaments are injured, the tape should be
    stretched before application to the skin. The damaged
    joints or ligaments are incapable of functioning
    normally and rely on the stretched tape for correction
    and stabilization.
    Techniques of
    application
    Techniques of application
    Tonizing (facilitatory):
    The tape should be applied from origin to insertion.

    Detonizing (inhibitory):
    The tape should be appliedfrom insertion to origin.
