Kinesio Tape

The Kinesio Taping Technique and Tape was developed by Dr. Kenzo Kase and is used for swelling and pain caused by lymphoedema. The tape is similar in weight to the top layer of the skin. It lifts the skin during movement and this can encourage lymph fluid to move towards the lymph nodes aiding drainage. 

Kinesio taping can help:
                                       • Stimulate lymph circulation as the body moves
                                       • Reduce swelling
                                       • Relieve pressure on pain receptors to reduce muscle pain
