Kinesiotape is an elastic tape that provides sensory input into the area applied while still allowing for a full range of motion.
Kinesiotape works, when applied correctly, by gently lifting the skin from the tissues (fascia, muscles, and other connective tissues) below it. The subcutaneous region is rich with nerve receptors in their skin and can stimulate the the proprioceptive activity to neurologically enhance the function and stability of the region.
Depending on the way kinesiotape is applied, it can be used for a variety of different things including muscle inhibition/facilitation, pain relief, decreasing swelling, joint stability, tissue decompression, among other applications.
This technique proves to be a beneficial compliment to chiropractic and other manual therapies aimed at re-initiating proper neurosensory function by stimulating the musculoskeletal system.
