The lymphatic system plays an important role in maintaining the fluid balance in our body and helps in removing all types of waste, along with supporting our immune system. However, this system, when slowed down or compromised, can become a reason for a number of problems that include lymphoedema, swelling, and a lot of other complications to occur.

That is where Kinesio Taping comes in. This approach can support lymphatic drainage, improve circulation, and provide relief from chronic swelling. 

Probably the most common use of Kinesio Taping known in the treatment of lymphoedema is managing chronic swelling caused by damage to the lymphatic system.

Lymphoedema, usually after cancer treatments and surgeries, may cause an accumulation of fluids leading to pain and limited mobility. The conventional ways to manage lymphoedema include wearing compression garments and RLD & MLD, both of which are very effective but enhanced by Kinesio Taping.

Kinesio Tape, when used in the treatment of lymphoedema, stimulates lymphatic drainage by being applied over affected areas in specific patterns. Given the special method of application of this tape, the excess fluids around swollen tissues are gently rerouted into healthily functioning lymphatic pathways. The outcome of such a technique may be the reduction of swelling over time, the allowance for healing to take place, and the improvement in quality of life for those suffering from lymphoedema & other Lymphatic issues.

Scars
KinesioTape strips are applied to scars to help improve circulation and lymphatic drainage. This aids in reducing swelling and promoting the regeneration of the skin, resulting in better scar recovery.

​

Fibrosis
Fibrosis refers to the formation of scar-like tissue in the body, which can become hardened and affect movement. Lymphatic Taping can help to soften fibrotic tissue, making it more pliable and less restrictive.

This method is particularly effective for managing conditions where tissue damage and inflammation are present, such as post-surgical scars, traumatic injuries, or chronic conditions that lead to fibrosis. By improving circulation and lymphatic drainage, taping supports the body’s natural healing processes, enhancing comfort and mobility.
