Objective: To determine the effects of space and lymphatic correction technique of kinesiotaping among patients with shoulder impingement syndrome. Methodology: This study was a Quasi-experimental trial. The study was conducted in Tahir Hospital Lahore. The study was completed within the time duration from September 2019 to April 2020 after the approval from ethical committee. Forty Patients of age 25-50 years were included in study. The total sample size of 40 was divided into Group A (Conventional Exercises) and Group B (Conventional Exercises and Kinesiology Taping) through concealment by envelope method. Patients were evaluated with Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) and Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) for functional assessment and pain respectively. The patients of both groups were assessed at baseline, after the 4th, 8th and 12th treatment session. Data was analyzed on SPSS 22. Results: The mean treatment differences of group A (Conventional) Pre-treatment NPRS was 9, and Post-treatment NPRS was 4.8. Pre-treatment DASH score was 75 and Post-treatment DASH score was 48.8 with p-value < 0.001. The mean treatment difference of group B (Experimental group) Pre-treatment NPRS was 10 and Post-treatment NPRS 4.2, Pre-treatment DASH score was 74.6 and Post-treatment DASH score was 28.9 with p-value < 0.001. Conclusion: Space and lymphatic correction technique of kinesiotaping along with conventional exercises is more effective than conventional exercises alone in shoulder impingement syndrome.
