Support your muscles and joints without restricting movement
Taping is a versatile therapeutic tool used to stabilize joints, protect recovering tissues, and enhance physical performance. Depending on your specific needs, our therapists utilize different taping technologies to support your recovery and keep you moving safely.
Athletic Taping: Stability and Support
Traditional athletic taping is primarily used for prevention and structural support. By using materials with high tensile strength, this method provides a “bracing” effect for injured or weak areas of the body.
- Injury Prevention: Stabilizes joints to prevent hyperextension or unwanted lateral movement.
- Structural Support: Acts as an external ligament to protect tissues during high-impact activities.
- Customized Application: Available in various widths and materials to suit almost any joint, from ankles and wrists to fingers and arches.
Kinesiotape: Designed for Movement
Kinesiotape represents the latest in taping technology. Unlike traditional tape, which restricts motion, kinesiotape is highly elastic and designed to move with your body. Its popularity among world-class athletes stems from its ability to provide support without sacrificing range of motion.
Kinesiotape offers several unique physiological benefits:
- Pain Relief & Neural Feedback: Gently lifts the skin to create space, reducing pressure on pain receptors and improving the brain’s awareness of joint position.
- Muscle Activation: Can be applied to either “turn on” a sluggish muscle or help an overactive muscle relax.
- Lymphatic Drainage: Excellent for reducing swelling and bruising by facilitating better fluid flow under the skin.
- Durability: It is sweat-proof and water-immersible, lasting 3–5 days to provide continuous therapeutic benefits long after your appointment.
Versatile Care for Everyone
Taping is not just for athletes. Because kinesiotape is gentle and safe, it is a fantastic tool for managing pregnancy-related discomfort, treating whiplash, and reducing post-surgical swelling. Whether you are dealing with tendonitis, joint injuries, or chronic back pain, taping can be an effective addition to your treatment plan.
