Kinesio Taping

Kinesio taping helps to reset the circuitry in the affected part of your body by correcting any faulty interactions between the skin and the muscles, joints, and tendons below. This results in increased muscle strength and activity.

Kinesio taping also works by blocking any pain receptors that are sent to your brain. If these painful messages are not received, the muscles in the affected area will loosen and the likelihood of spasms will decrease significantly.

Pain constricts the affected area, but if the pain is removed, there will suddenly be more freedom for blood flow and movement.

There are many reasons why Kinesio taping may be useful to you in your healing journey. These include, but are not limited to:

• Pain Relief - Pressure reduction is one of the most significant advantages of Kinesio taping. By suppressing pain receptors, the brain no longer receives unpleasant messages from the affected region, causing the muscles to relax. This allows for greater mobility, faster recovery, and an overall more relaxed treatment experience.
• Joint Stabilization - Some conditions may make it difficult for joints to stay in place.It can help stabilize and provide support for these joints, while still allowing them to move around their intended range of motion.
• Scar Tissue Management - This is a particularly common treatment after an accident, surgery, or other forms of trauma. Healing from trauma can result in the formation of a thick band of scar tissue over the affected region, which can hinder movement signals. It will give your scar tissue a much-needed stretch, making movement signals easier to communicate and thereby increasing your mobility.
• Reduce Swelling - Injury, surgery, or even simple overuse of a certain part of your body can also result in swelling. It helps to decrease swelling by limiting the pressure between the skin and the tissues underneath. This allows any buildup of fluid to travel freely and promotes better movement of the affected area.
