Methods of physiotherapy based on work with a flexible patch (taping) have became more and more popular in the recent years. Thanks to a wide range of applications and a small number of contraindications, flexible taping quickly found usage in sports and clinical physiotherapy. The most common methods in Poland which are based on work with elastic tapes are: Kinesio Taping, Taping Kinesiology and Medical Taping (medical taping).
The purpose of the study is to present methods based on work with the flexible patch and indication of their interrelationships. Due to the fact that all methods based on the work with a flexible patch derive from Kinesio Taping method, many common elements can be observed. All Kinesio Taping, Kinesiology Taping and Medical Taping are supporting patch applications on myofascial chains theory and tensegrity theory. However, the therapy is based on a flexible patch which has the parameters similar to parameters of human skin.
Unfortunately, there is still no comprehensive research, supported by clinical studies explaining accurately how the mechanics of effects arose after the treatment works and what its duration is. It is therefore necessary to perform numerous studies using various measuring instruments, which respond to constantly asked questions.
