About Therapeutic Taping Therapeutic taping is a rehabilitative tool for increasing muscle and sensory functions. The tape has a similar elasticity to skin and when applied directly to the skin, the tape can be used to correct oral posture, facilitate muscles that are weak or relax muscles that are too tense. Therapeutic tape has also been reported to increase sensory receptors, blood flow and lymphatic drainage. The taping does not take the place of therapy but is intended to enhance the therapy as an additional therapy tool.
Guidelines 1. Your childs therapist will indentify the type of tape and placement technique that will best improve the desired movement or muscle function. 2. If your child has sensitive skin, a protective liquid will be applied to make tape removal easier. 3. Most types of tape can be left on for up to 3 days. 4. Skin that is red, swelling or blistering around the tape may be a sign of an adverse reaction. If you see this or if your child complains or exhibits signs of discomfort, REMOVE THE TAPE. Applying & Removing the Tape
Application Prep the skin by thoroughly washing the area and allowing to dry COMPLETELY. Do not apply tape to wet skin. If allergies to adhesive, may apply skin barrier or Milk of Magnesia to surface (let dry) before applying tape. Rub frequently when applying. Heat from rubbing makes the tape stick. It can resist water, food, and drool for up to a few days when/if appropriate.
Removal Soak tape with cooking oil (ex: olive oil) or adheasive remover for 3-5 minutes. While holding tape upward, slowly pull the skin away from the tape. Wash the skin thoroughly. The skin may be slightly red or dotted, which should go away within 24-48 hours. Apply aloe Vera gel if desired. If the skin is extremely red or blistered contact your physician.
