Kinesiotaping

Kinesiotape is a simple yet highly effective treatment option that can be used on a wide variety of ailments and injuries to decrease your pain, swelling, and decrease time needed to rehab your injuries.

Kinesio tex is the world’s leading elastic therapeutic tape. The weight and elasticity of the tape mimic your own skin, thus causing less irritation. This tape has many more benefits than just regular white athletic tape that people are used to

This treatment is most effectively used in combination with other treatments such as myofascial release, electro-acupuncture and rehab exercises. The tape was widely used at the 2009 Summer Olympics and 2010 World Cup of Soccer.

Kinesiotaping can also help position skin and muscles to help with posture, proper muscle activation and relaxation. Common uses include

• ankle sprains
• hamstrings strains
• shoulder pain
• low back pain
• knee pain

It can help decrease pain by reducing pressure on pain receptors and reduces swelling by helping to lift the skin and increase fluid movement.
