K-Tape ( Part -2 ) INTRODUCTION There are 6 current corrective application techniques: mechanical, fascia, space, ligament/tendon, function, and space. 1. MECHANICAL CORRECTION The Mechanical Correction can be used to either position the tissue in the desired position, provide stimulus in which the body will adjust the position to minimize the created tension or provide a "blocking" action of joint or tissue movement. there are 3 methods of application: A. Application of Y technique (Tension on tail ) This technique uses the "recoil" effect of the elastic qualities of the tape to position the tissue in the direction of the base of the Kinesio strip. By using tension in the tails, the practitioner is applying a subtle stimulus. B. Application of Y technique (With tension on base ) This technique uses the base of the Y cut to apply tension to the skin. The amount of stretch applied to the Kinesio strip and the degree of inward pressure determine the depth an...
