Description
[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 and cooling
It is used for:- Balancing the muscles and bringing them up to a functional level.(Muscle taping.)
- Mechanical, fascia, space, ligament/tendon, functional and circulatory/lymphatic corrections.
(Correctional taping.)
A key focus of KTM training and practice is the process of assessment. Assessing the patient’s condition, looking at both the symptoms and the likely cause of each individual patient’s condition, is the only way to successful treatment.
Mulligan Taping[edit | edit source]
McConnell Taping[edit | edit source]
McConnell taping is often used to treat patients with anterior kneepain, more specifically with patients with chondromalacia patellae (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 strenghtens the vastus medialis obliques[2].
