Mar 16 Meeting – Kinesio Taping

On Saturday 16th March we have Jeanne Everett of Hadenham Healthcare who will be demonstrating Kinesio taping.

Kinesio Taping was developed in the 1970’s by the Japanese chiropractor Kenzo Kase

The goal of this method is to re-direct the flow of lymph from a congested area into an area with sufficient lymphatic flow, thus reducing the volume of the oedematous area.
