Lymphoedema is caused due to a disruption in the lymphatic system, resulting in obstructed or restricted lymphatic flow, chronic swelling, and pain. Our muscles help us move and also help control the venous circulation and lymph flow. By utilizing our unique method and applying the Kinesio® Tex Tape directly to the skin, the Kinesio® Taping Method can assist in the movement of muscles, repositioning of joints, alleviation of pain, but most importantly assist in the “lifting or creation of space” within the superficial skin decreasing pressure while opening initial lymphatics.

. Avoid storing KINESIO TEX tape in high temperature or direct sunlight. The Kinesio Taping Method involves taping over and around muscles in order to assist and give support or to prevent over-contraction. The first Kinesio taping technique gives the practitioner 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 Kinesio taping 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. Kinesio Tape can be used in conjunction with other therapies, including cryotherapy, hydrotherapy, massage therapy, and electrical stimulation. Kinesio Taping affects the activation of neurological and circulatory systems. Muscles are not only attributed to the movements of the body but also control the circulation of venous and lymph flows, body temperature, etc. Therefore, the failure of the muscles to function properly induces various kinds of symptoms. Consequently, so much attention was given to the importance of muscle function that the idea of treating the muscles in order to activate the body's own healing process came about. Using an elastic tape, it was discovered that muscles and other tissues could be helped by outside assistance. Kinesio Taping is used in hospitals, clinics, universities, high schools, and by professional sports teams |
