Kinesio Taping

Kinesio Taping or Neuromuscular Bandage:

Dr. Kenzo, a Japanese national, developed this therapeutic technique in the 1980s.
It is called neuromuscular bandaging because it performs a direct action on the nervous system. The technique consists of creating a micro stretch that the patient is not even aware of, but it is large enough to create a stimulus at the level of receptors that we have in the muscle spindle.

Thanks to this stimulus, the nervous system receives information about the state of the muscle, which is often affected by the pathology. When the nervous system identifies the muscular state, it regains control over it, lowering the muscular tone if there is hypertonia or increasing its tonicity if the muscle is hypotonic.
