Kinesio Taping
If you are a runner or someone who types on a keyboard for long periods of time you could benefit from Kinesio Tape. Kinesio Tape is popular with our athlete clients. It facilitates the body’s natural healing process while providing support and stability to muscles and joints. It does not restrict the body’s range of motion, which is why people who are active in sports love it. The tape works by gently reinforcing the skin, pulling it away from your muscles. Thereby allowing blood and other fluids to circulate more easily. The gentle pressure also cues the body to send additional blood to the taped area. This improved circulation lessens swelling and speeds healing. Some evidence suggests that the tape’s exceptional holding abilities also help to correct misaligned muscles and ligaments. Kinesio Tape can be used to prevent or treat common muscle and joint related injuries including:
- Sprains
- Muscle strains
- Subluxations
- Tendonitis
