Kinesio Taping
Kinesio Taping is a definitive rehabilitative taping technique that is designed to facilitate the body’s natural healing process while providing support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting the body’s range of motion, as well as providing extended soft tissue manipulation to prolong the benefits of manual therapy administered within the clinical setting.
By targeting different receptors within the somatosensory system, it alleviates pain and facilitates lymphatic drainage by microscopically lifting the skin. Kinesio Tape can be applied in many different ways and has the ability to re-educate the neuromuscular system, reduce pain and inflammation, optimize performance, prevent injury and promote good circulation and healing, and assist in returning the body to homeostasis.
Kinesio Taping can be used in conjunction with a multitude of other treatments and can be applied to patients of any age and condition. It is effective during the rehabilitative and chronic phases of an injury as well as being used for preventative measures.
