Taping is a technique used in various fields, including sports and medicine, to support and stabilize muscles and joints. It involves applying adhesive tape, often called athletic tape or kinesiology tape, to the skin. This method can help prevent injuries, reduce pain, and improve recovery by providing support without restricting movement. In addition to its use in sports, taping is also common in physical therapy. Therapists may use taping to enhance proprioception, which is the body's ability to sense its position in space. This can aid in rehabilitation and improve overall function for individuals recovering from injuries.
