KINESIOLOGY TAPING
Kinesiology Taping is lightweight, comfortable to wear, and can be used for hundreds of common injuries such as lower back pain, knee pain, shin splints, carpal tunnel syndrome, and tennis elbow, just to name a few.
It is applied along muscles, ligaments, and tendons to provide a lightweight, external support that helps you remain active while recovering from injuries without the bulk and restriction commonly associated with wraps and heavy bracing.
It can also help with alignment. If you have a tendency to slouch or have an area of the body that is not properly aligned Kinesiology tape can bring the body back into alignment. Having correct alignment can decrease pain and help the joints recover from activities.
Kinesiology tape also decreases pain in certain areas of the body that may be bothersome. Following a massage treatment, Kinesiology tape can be placed on the affected area to decrease pain and discomfort. If there is bruising or swelling, there is a taping method that helps drain fluids into the lymphatic ducts to decrease swelling and help rid the body of bruising.
