Kinesio Taping

Kinesio Taping is based on a simple principle that the body has built-in healing mechanisms and healthcare practitioners can help to positively influence their efficiency by removing barriers that impede them.

Kinesio Taping provides support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting the body’s range of motion, as well as providing extended soft tissue manipulation to prolong the benefits of manual therapy. The results are increased fluid flow through an injured area facilitating lymphatic drainage by microscopically lifting the skin.

This lifting affect forms convolutions in the skin thus increasing interstitial space and allowing for a decrease in inflammation of the affected areas, better control over muscle contractions, reduced pain, and ultimately faster healing. 

This effect is modulated and coordinated by the nervous system by specifically stimulating the sensory motor system.
