Kinesiotaping

Kinesiotape (KT) has been used by Dr. Kenzo Kase for the first time as based on the opinion that more successful results can be obtained in a banding method similar to the structural characteristics and flexibility of human skin without limiting the joint movements for edema control, joint protection, and proprioception training. In recent years, KT have been applied with a wide variety of techniques including muscle techniques for the inhibition and stimulation of muscles, fascia correction technique which aims to reduce tension and adhesions by making vibration movement between the fascia layers and field correction technique aiming to reduce regional pressure in the presence of pain, inflammation or edema as well as lymphatic correction technique for regulating lymphatic circulation .
