Kinesio Taping is very effective in treating lymphoedema reduction and acute oedemas. With 24hr use, Kinesio Taping stimulates treatment by opening up lymphatic pathways – even when the patient is not in clinic.
Thus taping can be very helpful as an adjunct to lymphoedema treatment. It is particularly useful in the reduction of truncal, head, and neck lymphoedemas or areas where compression is difficult or not appropriate.
How Does Kinesiology Tape Help with Lymphatic Drainage?
When kinesiology tape is applied to an inflamed or swollen area, the lifting motion of the tape creates a space between the top layer of skin and the underlying tissues. That allows fluids to move into the lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes and be eliminated from the body.
Other Benefits
- Also stimulates muscle activation increases the muscle pump pushing more fluid through the lymphatic vessels.
- Swelling goes down, pain is relieved, and the healing process is accelerated.
- Kinesiotaping could be used on any part of the body affected by swelling, including face
- As the tape affects the muscles and skin it also improves the ability of blood to flow in and out of the treated area. This improved circulation aids in healing.
