Kinesio taping utilizes the body's natural healing processes by activating the neurological and circulatory systems.
After a brief introduction, this book is divided into three sections: Shoulder Girdle, Trunk, and Pelvic Girdle. In each section, a specific muscle is described, including an explanation of its function, origin, insertion and nerve supply. The clinical applications of taping also are described, along with a specific taping procedure for the muscle. Black-and-white drawings are prevalent throughout the text, providing clear examples for self-training. This book is basic in its approach, and the concepts introduced can easily be applied to practice.
I ordered a few roles of Kinesio tape from a local supplier at about $15 a roll. After trying the taping procedures on a few patients, I found the tape to be quick and easy to apply. This method appears to be another great adjunct that can be utilized in practice following an adjustment. Get some tape, and see if your outcomes improve.
