KINESIO TAPING FOR THE VOICE
Kinesio taping is the application of kinesio tape, a type of elastic, stretchable tape on the body. The tape is stretchable up to 140% and is therefore comparable to the stretchability of the skin. By adjusting the direction and stretch of the tape you can influence the skin, fascia (connective tissue), lymphatic system, muscles and joints. The method was originally developed in Japan in the 1970s and until now it has mainly been used by physiotherapists or sports masseurs.
