Cornerstones of the Kinesio® Taping Method:

•    Taping over and around muscles in order to assist and give support or to prevent over-contraction.
•    Applying stretch to the tape or to the target area in order to create space under the skin and create the desired effect on the musculature.
•    Affecting change in deeper layers of fascia by manipulating the skin and muscle.
•    Creating space underneath the skin to improve circulation and lymphatic drainage.
•    Utilizing a number of corrective techniques to promote correct muscle and joint function
•    Pain relief by targeting the pain and the source of the pain
•    Utilizing single “I” strips or modifications in the shape of an “X,” “Y” or other specialized shapes
•    Applying base of tape with no tension to create pull towards the base
