What's with that tape? Kinesio taping defined.

2/22/2012

17 Comments

 
You have more than likely noticed in the past couple Olympic games that many of the athletes wore a strange looking colored tape over their muscles. While your initial thought was likely “What’s that?” you probably quickly lost interest in the tape and enjoyed watching the event. Well I would now like to take the time to tell you about that strange tape because it is actually pretty cool stuff that can help not only elite athletes, but the general population as well. 
The tape is called “Kinesio Tape” or “K-Tape”. It was developed as an alternative to traditional athletic tape which is rigid and restrictive. The Kinesio Taping Method is a rehabilitative taping technique that is designed to facilitate the body’s natural healing process while providing 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 chiropractic adjustments.

K-Tape works by targeting different receptors within the somatosensory system. The elasticity of the tape causes a microscopic lifting of the skin which alleviates pain and facilitates lymphatic drainage.

K-Tape is used to treat many conditions including but not limited to:
·         
          *carpal tunnel syndrome
·         *lower back strain/pain (subluxations, herniated disc)
·         *knee conditions
·         *shoulder conditions
·         *hamstring injury
·         *groin injury
·         *rotator cuff injury
·         *whiplash
·         *tennis elbow
·         *plantar fasciitis
·         *pre and post surgical edema
·         *ankle sprain

Please give me a call if you would like any more information or would like to discuss how K-Tape may be able to help you with your injury.
