Massage helps to both relax and normalise soft tissue function as well as detecting areas of tension, active trigger points and adhesions. Careful assessment throughout treatment of muscle length and strength allows for a comprehensive remedial stretching and strengthening plan to be put together which is both achievable and patient specific. Massage can be of benefit to anyone and is often used simply to relax tired and aching muscles and to relieve stress. Kinesio Taping Kinesio Taping, utilises a thin, porous cotton fabric tape which when applied correctly will lift the skin to increase the space between the skin and muscle. The reduced localised pressure helps promote circulation, lymphatic drainage and lessens the irritation on the subcutaneous neural pain receptors. The Kinesio Tape Technique can be used as part of a lymphoedema management programme or as part of an injury and pain management programme. Kinesio Taping  reduces pain, swelling and muscle spasm and subsequently promotes the body's natural healing processes. Additionally, the built-in stretch of the tape supports fatigued, weakened and/or strained muscles. It is a useful adjunct to therapy both for lymphoedema and injury.
