SPORTS Physical Therapy -

The kinesio taping method involves taping over and around muscles in order to assist and give support or to prevent over-contraction. The first technique gives the therapist the opportunity to actually give support while maintaining full range of
motion, enabling the individual to participate in physical activity with functional assistance. The second technique helps prevent overuse or over-contraction and helps provide facilitation of lymph flow 24 hours per day. It is most commonly used in the acute stage of rehabilitation.
