Kinesio-taping is a growing technique used by chiropractors, professional athletes, physical therapists to improve blood flow to a specific area on the body that is prone to injury. While there is no secret substance within the tape, the tape is specially designed to provide support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting range of motion. It is ideally used in situations where there is soreness and tenderness in a muscle group, but not pain or throbbing.
