KINESIO TAPING
Dr. Kenzo Kase, D.C. developed the Kinesio Taping (KT) method to support healing by restoring normal tissue length and function. Latex-free Kinesio Tape is wearable for days at a time and helps a range of orthopedic, neuromuscular, and neurological conditions.
KT is highly effective in the treatment of muscle dysfunction and pain caused by trauma or repetitive overuse. KT provides external support to injured muscles, activates weak muscles, and reduces vascular and lymphatic congestion (swelling). Additionally KT can be applied correctively to realign joints and promote improved proprioception thus restoring normal joint kinematics.
Example: In the treatment of rotator cuff injury, it is necessary to address humeral head alignment, improve retractor strength, and lengthen the pectoralis muscles (which shorten when we slump).
Kinesio tape is applied to externally rotate the humeral head (realign the shoulder joint) and to activate the muscles between the shoulder blades.
