Introduction[edit | edit source]
Kinesiology taping (KT) is a therapeutic tool and has become increasingly popular within the sporting arena. Taping has been used for a long time for the prevention and treatment of sporting injuries. KT is not only used for sporting injuries but fro a variety of other conditions. It was developed by Japanaese Chiropractor Dr. Kenso Kase in the 1970's with the intention to alleviate pain (Liu et al, 2007) and improve the healing in soft tissues (Kahanov, 2007)
