Kinesio-Tex
I have used this ingenious tape for many kinds of oedema. It has many uses in sports medicine, and it also works well to reduce swellings. It is thought that the tape lifts the skin slightly and stagnant lymph can flow towards the lymph nodes. At the same time the tape “massages” the underlying tissues gently - which has remarkable results in scar treatment.
It is particularly good with fibrotic tissue and is effective on its own or under garments and bandages. I have used it to treat stubborn swellings after repeated ankle injury (shown in the picture) or to ease the discomfort of lymphoedema of the hand. The tape is available in flesh colour, pink, blue and black - there is no limit to the creativity of client and practitioner.
