Fascła Correction Application Techniąue Useof faseta correction technigue to reposition fascia. tension on the base

Use of fascia correction techniąue to reposition fascia, with tension on the base. In this techniąue the practitioner is going to use the elastic qualities of the Kinesio Tex Tape to simulaie a manuał therapy techniąue. The elastic ąualities of the Kinesio Tex Tape will be applied usin® a "osdllation" motion in an attempt to reduce tension and adhesions between and within lay_eis of the fascia. This techniąue may not be as affective as using a manuał techniąue, however, if the practitioner is not skilled in a manuał techniąue this may still allow an option for treatmem

Begin by placing the base of Kineiso Y ] Strip approximately 1 /2 to 1 inch bleow the I area of fascia to be treated with no tension. ||

Apply light to moderate, 25-50% of avail. able tension to the tape in the direction fascia i correction is desired. Stretch should be lightl to moderate. The tape should be "oscillated* Minimal downward pressure should alsobe applied as the tape is being laid down. The downward pressure is not specifically intended to deepen the effect of the tape, j but only used to apply the Kinesio Tex Tape I during application, its function is to reduce | the "recoil" effect of the Kinesio Tex Tape. 1

Lay down the tails of the Kinesio Y Strip! down with no tension.

This techniąue can also be used to puli the fascia in the opposite direction. If the practi-1 tioner desires to move the fascia "away fromi an area the elastic ąualities of the Kinesio Tej Tape can be used to accomplish this goal.

Fascia Correction Application Techniąue Manuał fascia winding or myofascial release, tension on base.

Use of manuał fascia winding or myofascial release techniąue. Following the application of a manuał therapy techniąue position the fascia in the desired position prior to tape application. This techniąue can be used to either hołd fascia in desired position or limit the movement of fascia in an unwanted position. Use the Kinesio Strip to hołd the corrective posi tioning of the fascia.

Using manuał techniąue collect or correct fascia and soft tissue as appropriate

Place base of tape slightly above or below soft tissue whichhasbeengathered. Placing base of Kinesio Strip with no tension at start, hołd base to ensure no tension is added to the base.

Apply tension to the tape in the direction/ opposite direction fascia correction is desired. Moderate, 50% of available tension is applied with downward pressure should also be applied. The desired effect is to "hołd" to myofascial release techniąue in the desired position.

This can also be accomplished by using the tails to hołd the myofascial release as described in mechanical correction.

Lay the tails of the tape down with no tension. The tails should be splayed out to dissipate the created tension over as large of an area as possible.
