Does kinesio taping change lower back muscle temperature?
This study looks at how Kinesio taping (a special elastic tape placed on the skin) affects the temperature of the lower back muscles. It is for healthy young adults who do not have any muscle pain or skin problems, and it may help show how this tape works in real life.
