MAXTAPING
®
MAXTAPING Theory
• Tissue injury causes:




Inflammation, swelling and stiffness
Shrinking of the space between superficial fascia and
muscle
Constriction of the flow of lymphatic fluid
Pain and discomfort
®
How MAXTAPING work?
• Skin lifting to affect superficial fascia
• Normalize the space between superficial fascia and
muscle
• Normalize the function of lymphatic fluid
•Improve circulation
•Improve healing
process
•Reduce pain

Tension
• No tension at the beginning and end of the tape
• Neutral tension


10~25%
Most effective tension
• Moderate force


50% Applied to non-stretched skin
For joint contracture or contraindications for joint
movements
• Maximum force


75~100%
For correction techniques.
