Kinesio Taping - "Normalize function of muscles and connective tissue" :

·         Our therapists are trained in Kinesio Taping techniques for both spinal and extremity conditions.

·         Kineso taping uses elastic tape rather than the rigid tape traditionally used in sports.  The elastic properties of this tape help in many ways:

•   Improve contraction of a weakened muscle

•    Reduce muscle fatigue and spasm

•   Reduce over-stretching and over-contraction of muscles

•    Re-educate muscles through sensory feedback

•   Decreases edema (swelling) through aiding the lymphatic system

•     Minimize post-traumatic or post-surgical bruising through improved circulation

•     Help mobilize scar tissue by enhancing glide between tissue layers

•     Help correct joint mechanics through aiding muscle function around the joint

•    Relieve pain by activating the natural analgesic system in our skin receptors 

·         Utilized as part of Physical Therapy

•     It can dramatically speed the rehabilitation process

•     Decreases pain and improves tolerance to exercise and movement.
