Kinesio Taping is a method of taping that was developed in Japan.  Its popularity has increased dramatically over the last few years due to its use by collegiate, professional, and Olympic athletes.  The Multi-System Approach incorporates the use of Kinesio Taping among other things to increase the body’s proprioception, or “body awareness”, in a specific area.  The tape can be applied by skilled clinicians to decrease pain, restore biomechanical movement, increase blood and lymphatic circulation, decrease pressure in an injured area, and improve fascial restrictions.  The tape is applied in many differing fashions to achieve the varying effects.
