Kinesio taping can only be performed by a certified clinician.
This method 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.
Kinesio tape can alleviate pain and facilitate lymphatic drainage by microscopically lifting the skin and thereby increasing interstitial space and decreasing inflammation of affected areas.
Kinesio tape 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.
