Tapping

Taping therapy, also known as medical taping, is a therapeutic technique that uses tape to help with a variety of issues, including:

• Pain relief: Taping can reduce stress on painful joints and muscles. 
• Injury prevention: Taping can help prevent injuries and protect injured areas. 
• Improved mobility: Taping can help improve mobility and flexibility in injured areas. 
• Posture: Taping can help improve posture. 
• Faster recovery: Taping can help you return to work or sports more quickly. 

Taping works by stimulating the skin's receptors, which restores your sense of spatial awareness around the joint. This helps the muscles work more efficiently and restores proper range of motion. 

Taping is typically worn for three to five days, and then left off for one to two days to allow the skin to rest. You should remove the tape immediately if you develop an allergic reaction or if it's aggravating your injury. 

There are different types of medical tape that can be used for taping therapy, including rigid strapping tape and elastic strapping tape.
