Kinesiotaping

Kinesio taping is a method used to help normalize the function of muscles and other connective tissue. Our therapists have been trained in the concept and application of Kinesio Tex Tape for the treatment of a variety of injuries. Through different methods of application, Kinesio Tape can be used to inhibit or facilitate a muscle, reduce swelling, mobilize scar tissue, decrease pain and improve joint position and mechanics.

The stretch properties of Kinesio tape allow patients to perform their daily, recreation and sport activities without limitation. Kinesio taping can be used as an adjunct to therapy and will be incorporated with other types of treatments including flexibility and strengthening. A thorough evaluation by a trained clinician is needed to determine which taping techniques are indicated and how to incorporate Kinesio Taping into a balanced Physical Therapy program.
