Taping is an alternative medicine method that involves placing or wrapping elastic colored tapes on the skin to improve blood circulation and lymph flow. The procedure may also be called kinesiology taping or kinesiotaping.

The principle of kinesio taping comes from sports medicine, but has been somewhat transformed. Fans of alternative medicine claim that many diseases are associated with muscle spasms, which tapes help relieve. These elastic bands activate lymph flow and blood circulation in the desired area of the body, which promotes healing.
