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 [1] and improve the healing in soft tissues (Kahanov, 2007)
