There are many taping techniques get introduced mainly for pain management and swelling. But I am interested to know the evidence behind lymphoedma kinesio taping. I knew Kenzo kase introduced few techniques of kinesio taping in lymphoedema. But I wonder any evidence behind it?
Thank you very much Ms Katrin. I will have a look at those articles you have suggested
In my opinion kinsiology tape can be a valid support in a theraputic program to improve results after lymphatic drainage e compression bendage. Especially useful for chronic limphedema patients.
Give a look tothese articles:
