2. Introduction:
Muscles are not only attributed to the movements of the body, they 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, more attention was given to the importance of muscle function in order to activate the body's own healing process.
When using the kinesio tape it was discovered that muscles and other tissues could be helped by outside assistance, because it affects the activation of the neurological and the circulatory systems.

3. Definition: The Kinesio Taping Method involves
taping over and around muscles in
order to assist and give
support or to prevent
over-contraction.

4. Pathological Effects

5. Pathological Effects
Muscles constantly extend and contract within a normal range. However, when muscles over-extend or over contract, muscles can not recover and become inflamed.
When a muscle is inflamed, swollen or stiff due to fatigue, the space between the skin and muscle is compressed, resulting in constriction to the flow of lymphatic fluid.
This compression also applies pressure to the pain receptors beneath the skin, which in turn communicates "discomfort signals" to the brain and emdash.

There are two ways to apply Kinesio® Tape:

10. Kinesio Taping Method Concepts
UN STRETCHED:
In this case, we stretch the skin of the affected area before application of the tape. This is done by stretching the muscles and joints in the affected area. After application, the taped skin will form convolutions when the skin and muscles contract back to their normal position. When the skin is lifted by this technique, subcutaneous flow of blood and lymphatic fluid is increased.

12. Kinesio Taping Method Concepts
STRETCHED :
if joints or ligaments are injured, the tape should be stretched before application to the skin. The damaged joints or ligaments are incapable of functioning normally and rely on the stretched tape for correction and stabilization.

13. Techniques of application

14. Techniques of application
Tonizing (facilitatory):
The tape should be applied from origin to insertion.
Detonizing (inhibitory):
The tape should be appliedfrom insertion to origin.

15. Techniques of application
