Does Kinesio taping really work?

Kinesio taping is a technique that involves the application of a special type of tape to the skin and is purported to improve muscle and joint function by enhancing blood flow, reducing inflammation, and providing support. While some studies have shown positive effects, other studies have found no significant differences between using kinesio tape and other forms of rehabilitation or no treatment at all. Therefore, the effectiveness of kinesio taping is still widely debated among healthcare professionals, and further research is needed to determine its true efficacy.
