Background: Kinesio Taping (KT) is one of the conservative treatments proposed for rotator cuff disease. KT is an elastic, adhesive, latex-free taping made from cotton, without active pharmacological agents. Clinicians have adopted it in the rehabilitation treatment of painful conditions, however, ...
In recent years, Kinesio Taping (KT) has become a very popular method of treating locomotor diseases. According to research, this method aids and accelerates the rehabilitation process for various types of muscle or joint injuries1. KT also improves microcirculation and increases lymph flow, which ...
