T
his study aims to determine the therapeutic effects of Kinetic Acupuncture (KA) combined with balance taping in the treatment
ofMusculoskeletal Disorders (MSD).The incidence of chronicMSDconditions is an increasing health concern on a global scale.
This study adapted the methodology of Senna-Fernandes Vwhich is based on the concept of KA, combined with physiotherapy as a
systematic treatment of 205 cases of musculoskeletal disorders. KA is a multidisciplinary therapy its application is divided in three
phases. Pre-Kinetic phase, acupuncture needling and balance taping medicine are applied to systemic, microsystemic or locomotor
points to prepare soft tissue structures for physiotherapy by interrupting the pain-spasm-pain cycle and promoting the local blood
circulation. Kinetic phase, physiotherapy is used during the stimulation of relevant acupoints to promote a synergistic effect and
restore functional mobility and post-kinetic phase, biochips (bio stones) are taped over specific ear acupoints, determined by
probing sites on the ear for tenderness. Overall results show KA therapeutic satisfaction to Activities of Daily Living (ADL) is
92.0%. On a four-point Likert scale, clinical improvement averaged 1.08, which indicated that most patients (76.6%) had clinically
significant improvement. This study found that KA combined with balance taping minimized pain brought about by MSD. Balance
taping enhanced blood circulation aligned fascial tissue and assisted in the removal of edema by directing exudates towards the
lymph ducts.
