You may have seen athletes with large strips of brightly colored tape placed on their skin meant to enhance their performance. Did you know the same type of tape - called Kinesio tape, elastic therapeutic tape or kinesiology tape - may have pain-relieving effects for people with osteoarthritis?
This tape is a stretchy cotton strip with adhesive on one side, giving you stability but with a wider range of motion than with normal athletic tape.
And the newest guidelines on treatment for osteoarthritis from the American College of Rheumatology give a conditional recommendation for Kinesio tape for hand and knee osteoarthritis. Orthopedic surgeon Dominic King, DO, walks us through the benefits and tips for this use.
The benefits of taping
"Any kind of taping is meant to help limit motion," says Dr. King. If you have painful joints from arthritis, limiting motion can help to relieve some of the pain. "However, we always want to balance immobilization with mobilization," he adds.
Totally immobilizing the joint can actually make it a bit stiffer. "An argument for Kinesio tape is it can limit motion, but it also is stretchy enough that you get more motion than you would from traditional tape or from wearing a brace," says Dr. King.
All taping provides support, but with Kinesio tape, you get more dynamic support. "It's not the stiff kind of feeling you get with traditional taping or a hard brace," says Dr. King.
It can also help to support muscles. The muscles around a joint with arthritis typically have to work harder. Kinesiology tape can allow those muscles to relax a little.
Apply it correctly
Kinesio tape may help with pain, but be sure to apply it correctly. "You pull it to create some tension, but you don't want to pull all the tension out of it," says Dr. King. He recommends getting instruction from an occupational therapist or physical therapist.
"Most people can learn how to apply it themselves once they've been shown," says Dr. King. You can purchase the tape from many retail outlets. It's available in rolls or precut for specific applications.
Which joints are helped most?
"The joint that probably responds best to Kinesio tape is the carpometacarpal joint," says Dr. King. This is the joint at the base of the thumb, which is a common location for osteoarthritis.
The tape is also conditionally recommended for osteoarthritis in the knee. Dr. King notes that it's most effective for people with osteoarthritis in the front of the knee underneath the kneecap.
