• 1. Trigger Point
• 2. Manipulation (If Need)
• 3. Apply Kinesiology tape
• 4. Rehabilitation Exercises
 The Effects Of Taping
1. Corrects Muscle Functions and Prevents Further
Damages.
Taping corrects the muscle function and prevents
secondary damage because of the elasticity of the tape,
the skin and muscle is stimulated so that the tensed up
muscle goes back to its original state. When the muscle
in pain is neglected, surrounding muscles react to it,
which can lead to secondary damage or elevated pain.
Therefore, taping not only corrects the muscle function
but also prevents secondary damages.

2. Helps blood circulation (lymph and tissue fluid)

Because the tape lifts up the skin, stagnant tissue fluid or

internal fluid in the topical part is discharged and the
circulation of the blood or lymph is promoted.
 The Effects Of Taping

3. Relieves the pain

By taping on the painful part, it soothes
pain neurologically.

4. Helps joints to prevent misalignment

The muscle around the joint is often over-tensed
and by taping it, the motion of the muscle goes
back to itself, which prevents the joints from
being dislocated.
