The Kinesio Taping Method for Myofascial Pain Control

Figure 1

These two pictures showed the mechanism of KT application on soft tissue. Before taping, the lesion site, such as a taut band or bruise, may contain bleeding, pressure, and lymph fluid accumulation and then cause pain. After taping as shown with blue curve, the space-lifting mechanism will help the drainage of fluid. Then the inflammation factors and pressure can be reduced, and the movement of muscle can be improved.
