Space Correction Application Tectinigii^g Fascia Corrections used for Space Correction

Additional methods of space correction application. These are fascia correction tech-niques with the desired therapeutic goal of pain and inflammation reduction. The basie fascia correction application technique does not change, only the therapeutic goal changes For complete explanation of each technique refer to Fascia Correction.

Use of a Kinesio I Strip of approxima tely 6-8 inches with light, 25% of available, or paper off tension. The tension is added to the middle 1 /3 region of the Kinesio I Strip.

Begin the strip with no tension, have the j patientmove the joint, or tissue to be treated into a stretched position. As the patient moveJ into an active motion lay down the Kinesio IH Strip with light tension.

If the application is applied correctly, convolutions in the skin will be present.

Space Correction: Hole and Web Technigue

This technique uses a hole cut in the center of the Kinesio I Strip slightly larger than the area i be treated. The two ends are cut into two or three tails of approximately 1 /3 of the length of le Kinesio Strip. The hole is placed directly over the area in which space is to be created. Light > moderate, 25-50 % of available tension is applied to the Kinesio Strip prior to placement on te patient while they are in the stretched position. The tails are laid down with no tension to isipate any force created during tape application.

Hole Technigue

Begin by cutting a hole in the center of an approximately 6-8 inch Kinesio I Strip. Be careful to not cut morę than 2/3 of the avail-able width of the Kinesio Tex Tape. This may reduce its ability to adhere to the patients skin.

Cut the distal approximately 2 inches of each end into two or three strips. This is accom-plished with one or two cuts into the tails.

Have the patient move into a mid joint position for the area to be treated.

In the center of the Kinesio Strip tear the paper backing and peel back to allow for tension to be applied to the Kinesio Tex Tape. Apply light to moderate, 25-50% of available tension to the Kinesio Strip and place the hole directly over the area of desired space.

Lay down the tails on both ends with no tension. Splay the ends to dissipate tension which was created in the area of the donut.

Initiate glue activation prior to any patient movement.

Web Cut

Cut the appropriate length of tape, and fold the tape in half. Cut the Kinesio Strip into 4-8 strips leaving one inch of both ends uncut. Begin by placing the patient in a mid rangę of motion. The web is applied by applying one base, remove the web strips using paper off tension, and apply toward the second base. The number of strips can vary by the size of the area, width of the tape, or the need of the patient.

Initiate glue activation prior to any patient movement.
