Lymph Taping (Kinesiotape)
Kinesiotape can be used by a range of health professionals but a lymphoedema therapist will use it to improve circulation and lymphatic flow. It may also provides pain relief and is used to help with scar management.
Use of lymphatic taping requires specific training and clinical experience. When the tape is applied, the top layers of the skin are lifted to create space underneath. This assists in the movement of fluid within this space.
