Kinesiology taping is a technique used to provide support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting movement. It involves applying a specially designed elastic tape to the affected area, which is believed to help reduce pain, improve circulation, and promote healing.

Kinesiology tape is typically made of thin, stretchy cotton or synthetic fabric that is designed to mimic the properties of human skin and allow for stretching while maintaining support. It is applied in a specific pattern over the affected area, depending on the intended purpose of the tape. In the foot and ankle taping can help with plantar fasciitis, different types of tendonitis, arthritic pains, sprain injuries, muscle strains and a wide variety of other pathologies.

The tape is believed to work by providing support and stability to the muscles and joints, while also improving blood flow and lymphatic drainage to the area. This can help reduce inflammation, speed up healing, and improve overall muscle function.

Kinesiology taping is often used by athletes and other individuals who engage in physical activity to prevent or treat injuries.

Kinesiology taping is a non-invasive, low-risk technique that can be used in combination with other treatments to help improve outcomes for patients with a variety of conditions. The tape can remain on for several days. If you are interested in this type of therapy come into the office and our trained staff will show you the noted benefits of proper kinesiology taping.
