Introduction[edit | edit source]
Types of Taping[edit | edit source]
Kinesio Taping[edit | edit source]
Kinesio taping method allows full range of motion. It does not negatively affect circulation, since there is no wrapping, and therefore no impediment of blood flow. Kinesio taping is a “light” modality. In rehabilitative applications it works continuously, so each treatment can continue for 2 to 3 days.
It is based on 3 important concepts:
- Space
- Movement
- Cooling
It is used for:
Muscle Taping
Balancing the muscles and bringing them up to a functional level.
Correctional Taping
Mechanical, fascia, space, ligament/tendon, functional and circulatory/lymphatic corrections.

Mulligan Taping[edit | edit source]
Mobilisation with Movement (MWM) developed by Brian Mulligan FNZSP (Hon) of New Zealand is recognised world wide in manual therapy approaches. His concept is the application of manually applied accessory joint glide with concomitant pain free active movement.
During the development of MWMs Brian Mulligan discovered that treatment in some patients was enhanced when he utilised taping to compliment the directional forces provided after the MWM treatment bout. Taping is applied in directions that compliment the applied MWM passive force to a joint or soft tissue.

McConnell Taping[edit | edit source]
McConnell taping (also known as Patellar Taping) is often used to treat patients with anterior knee pain, more specifically with patients with Chondromalacia Patellae and Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome)[1]. The tape corrects the tracking of the patella within the patellar groove by medializing the patella. The technique also stretches lateral soft tissues and strengthens the vastus medialis obliques[2].
