Combines acupressure and massage to treat pain using elastic tape
• Shows how the use of an elastic, adhesive tape works with the body’s own motions to combine the actions of acupressure and massage
• Presents both therapeutic and preventative techniques for acute and chronic pain
• Contains step-by-step instructions illustrated in full color detailing how to self-treat pain in all parts of the body
Sufferers of chronic pain well know the frustration of treatments involving endless rounds of drugs or expensive physical therapy--that may or may not offer relief. In Acupressure Taping, authors Hecker and Liebchen present a comprehensive guide to a new method of pain treatment--acutaping--which offers a much simpler and more effective alternative. In acutaping, elastic tape is placed over the afflicted area in accordance with related acupuncture points. During the course of normal movement throughout the day, the elastic tape provides a gentle but consistent massage to the inflamed area. Because the skin adheres to the tape, it is shifted against the subtissue during motion, causing lymph tissue to drain and connective tissue to be massaged.
The authors show that most bodily dysfunctions can be self-treated through this innovative method. Combining elements of Chinese medicine with osteopathy, acutaping produces a method of treatment for ailments ranging from back pain and tennis elbow to menstrual pain and migraines. Acutaping is an easy and effective treatment--without side effects--that offers welcome relief to sufferers of chronic pain.

Summary: Well Done
Comment: This book was very easy to understand and I even loaned it to my Chiropractor. I tried many of the tapping methods and they were all successful in the relief of pain and swelling. I highly recommend it.

Summary: awessommmeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comment: this book and kinesio tape is just awesome. I have been suffering from a chronic muscular disorder from 3 years on my shoulder. after i heard about kinesio tape in olympics i tried to give it a try and believe me kinesio tape has worked wonders for me. my pain level has decreased to 10000 times and movements are also good in just three days of its first application. i just hope it keeps helping me and people who are suffering from chronic muscular pain.

Summary: Acutaping book too simplistic to be useful
Comment: The book has too much background and not enough actual taping information. It could use hints and tips on how to tape areas that are not specifically shown, such as for hamstrings, I.T. band, anterior tibialis etc. Acupressure Taping: The Practice of Acutaping for Chronic Pain and Injuries
Taping like this can be very helpful but this book doesn't come close to giving the information needed to benefit from it.

Summary: Excellent instructions on using Kinesio Tape
Comment: With fibromyalgia and arthritis, Kinesio tape is a treasure.
I was applying it "ALMOST" properly on my thumb, but after buying the book, I found that slight changes made a huge difference. I have used the tape and the book for sciatica, tennis elbow, wrist and hand pain, and in every case, applying the tape as instructed in the book has diminished my pain, in some cases, eliminating it. I suffered with constant pain in my thumbs for years. After a few months of kinesio taping, I am pain free.
I can't recommend the book and the tape highly enough.

Summary: Any bodywork health library needs this.
Comment: Any who suffer from chronic pain know that drugs and physical therapy - the common treatments for ailing backs - often don't do the job. Here's a guide to a new method of pain treatment - acutaping - which offers an easier alternative, involving an elastic cotton tape placed over painful muscles and joints. The taping directions here are designed to stimulate related acupuncture points as well as apply acupressure and massage science to the mix. Any bodywork health library needs this.
