Kinesiology Taping

Kinesiology taping is a therapeutic technique that involves applying a particular type of elastic tape to the skin. This method supports and stabilises muscles and joints without restricting movement. Dr. Kenzo Kase originally developed it in the 1970s, and it has gained widespread popularity in sports and rehabilitation.

How does it help?

• Elasticity: The tape is made of a flexible, elastic material that mimics the skin’s elasticity, allowing for a full range of motion.
• Application Techniques: Kinesiology tape can be applied in various patterns and tensions, depending on the treated condition and the desired outcome. Techniques may include strips that follow muscle lines or support joint areas.
• Pain Relief: The tape can help reduce pain by lifting the skin slightly, which may improve blood flow and reduce pressure on pain receptors.
• Support and Stability: It supports muscles and joints, helping to stabilise them during movement while allowing for normal function.
• Enhanced Healing: By improving circulation and reducing swelling, kinesiology taping can aid in the healing process of injuries and muscular strains.
• Versatility: Kinesiology taping is used for various conditions, including sports injuries, postural issues, and general muscle pain.

Kinesiology taping is commonly used by athletes, osteopaths and other healthcare professionals to manage and rehabilitate injuries, enhance performance, and support recovery.
