1. MAXTAPING

2. 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

3. 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

4. Function of MAXTAPING ® Reduce pain, edema and inflammation Improve circulation Support a weakened tissue Release tight tissue Correct misalignment of a joint Prevent injury

5. Indications Musculoskeletal system  Myofascia pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shoulder subluxation, Soft tissue injury, Structure mis- alignment Nervous system  Abnormal muscle tone, PNS injury, Neuralgia Systematic problems  Lymphoedema, Variocosity, Gouty Arthritis, Menstrual Cramp

6. Materials Tape  100% cotton  No medicinal properties  Water resistant  Good ventilation Glue  Acrylic glue  Intermittent wave pattern

7. Materials Color  Beige, Pink, Blue, Yellow, black Elasticity  Up to 140% of resting length Weight and thickness  Similar to skin

8. MAXTAPING ® Technique Shape I, Y, X, Fan and Web cut Size To fit! Direction Support or release soft tissue Tension Controlled

9. Shape  Support, release soft tissue and correct joint  Support and release soft tissue  Lift tender point, centralize pain  Reduce edema, swelling  Reduce edema  Support and release muscle I cut Y cut X cut Fan cut Web cut

10. 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.

11. Direction Support soft tissue  O rigin to I nsertion Release tight muscle  I nsertion to O rigin

13. Neck Pain Position ： Chin-in and neck flexion in sitting position

14. a. Y cut Anchor ： below hair Tail ： along each side of the spine  X cut Anchor ： place the center of the Tape on C7 –T1 Tail ： toward lateral side O I

15. Low Back Pain Position ： Trunk flexion in sitting or standing position

16. a. Double I cut Anchor ： above tailbone Tail ： along each side of the spine  I cut Anchor ： place the center of the tape at tender point Tail ： toward lateral side of lumbar region O I

17. Tennis Elbow Position ： Elbow extension, forearm pronation and wrist flexion

18. a. Y cut Anchor ： insertion of wrist extensor Tail ： surround wrist extensor  X cut Anchor ： tender point Tail ： toward lateral side I O

19. Osteoarthritis Knee Position Knee flexion in supine (left photo) knee extension in sidelying (right photo)

20. a. Y cut Anchor ： belly of quadriceps Tail ： surround patella and connect below patella  Y cut Anchor ： tibia tuberosity Tail ： surround patella O I

21. c. Y cut Anchor ： origin of hamstrings Tail ： insertion of hamstrings O I

22. Ankle Sprain Position ： Ankle plantarflexion and inversion during extended period of sitting or supine position

23. a. I cut Anchor ： lateral tibial condyle Tail ： along to tibalis anterior  X cut Anchor ： place the center of the tape on anterior talofibular ligament Tail ： toward lateral side O I

24. c. I cut Anchor ： medial side of heel Tail ： through heel to lateral malleolus
