Kinesiotaping
Kinesiotaping 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. It also provides extended soft tissue manipulation to prolong the benefits of manual therapy administered within the clinical setting. Made popular by olympic athletes, kinesiotaping is a non-restrictive taping method used, not only to reduce pain, muscle spasm and inflammation, but to aid in the retraining of muscle movement patterns in order to achieve optimal biomechanics. Kinesio tape has been proven to help with everything from headaches to foot problems and many areas in between. Specific patterns of application temporarily alters how the muscle works. Kinesiotape takes stress from muscles, reducing inflammation and giving them time to heal.
