The Kinesio Taping Method is a specialized rehabilitative technique designed to support muscles, joints, and soft tissues. It involves applying a special elastic-like tape in specific places on the skin, over and around affected muscles and/or joints. Kinesio Tape provides strategic support to affected tissues, promotes proper healing, and prevents over-contraction during the healing process. While most people think of tape as restricting motion, Kinesio Tape is designed to support and facilitate normal motion. With this method, the patient can still be a full participant in normal activities, just with a bit of additional support. Just ask Olympic, professional, collegiate, and amateur athletes how helpful it can be!
