Kinesio Tape - shoulder injury support? 21-Feb-2010 At 8:43:23 PM belayslave

I've been doing some research in to Kinesio (or Kinesiology) Tape. Having seen it used during the
Tennis season and now reading that's it's been around for several years it's fascinating me at the
moment with it's potential uses and remedies.

You can see some more info at these links if you're interested:

Has anyone here used it? Or is anyone a practitioner (physio/chriopractor etc) that may have
suggested and used the tape on a patient?

I'm particularly interested in its use for pain reduction and ROM improvements (the two go hand in
hand for my injury), and use it in conjunction with my current treatments.

As my injury won't be benefited by strapping or taping that immobilises the joint or limits its ROM, the
KT seems like a good inbetween, and has the benefit of being able to keep on for up to a week in
some cases.

Thoughts?
