Taping helps you maintain good posture by using restrictive tape that keeps the muscles and bones in a balanced position. This kind of tape is painless when applied and removed, and is strong enough to help you hold correct posture. This method is perfect for those who are trying to wean themselves from a heavier posture-supportive device, such as a back brace. Other forms of kinesiology taping may involve the backs of the legs, the neck, and the arms.
