Depending on the application technique, kinesio tape may provide:
- pain relief,
- postural support,
- improved muscle function,
- reduction of muscle tension,
- support for lymphatic circulation,
- reduction of swelling,
- joint stabilization.
It may be used as supportive treatment for conditions including:
- heel pain,
- plantar pain,
- Achilles tendon discomfort,
- bunions,
- disc-related conditions,
- lower back pain,
- headaches and migraines,
- rotator cuff injuries,
- shoulder pain,
- tennis elbow,
- golfer’s elbow,
- carpal tunnel syndrome,
- knee ligament injuries,
- muscle injuries.
During pregnancy, kinesio taping may also be used to support the lower back and reduce physical strain when appropriate.
