Taping is a great adjunct to include in therapy. There are many different types of tape and various reasons to implement them into practice.
Proprioceptive tape can be used as a gentle reminder to the body to avoid pain-inducing postures. This type of tape is lightweight and flexible permitting movement but targeting receptors on the skin to increase body awareness. Athletic taping is implemented to help restrict movement into certain ranges. This sort of tape is used primarily to help re-injury prevention. |
