Kinesio Taping
Kinesio Tape ® is the original elastic adhesive tape developed by Dr. Kenzo Kase in 1979. Kinesio Tape is latex-free, hypoallergenic, and wearable for days at a time. The Kinesio Taping ® Method is a definitive 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 manual therapy administered within the clinical setting.
The Kinesio ® Taping Method is a therapeutic taping technique not only offering our patients the support they are looking for, but also rehabilitating the affected condition as well. By targeting different receptors within the somatosensory system, Kinesio ® Tape alleviates pain and facilitates lymphatic drainage by microscopically lifting the skin. This lifting allows for a decrease in inflammation of the affected areas. At Advanced Health & Pain Center, Kinesio ® Tape is specifically applied to our patients based upon their needs after evaluation.
