Kinesio Taping®
The Kinesio Taping® Method is a 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. Several studies have supported the efficacy of the Kinesio Taping® technique for addressing acute injury inflammation, reducing pain, promoting a faster return to activity, enhancing proprioceptive training, and enhancing neurological function post-injury.
The built-in stretch of the tape can help stabilize injured muscles and support fatigued, weakened and/or strained muscles. Taping applications can also be used to lift the skin to increase the space between the skin and underlying muscle. This reduces localized pressure in the affected area and helps to promote circulation and lymphatic drainage.
