Kinesiology Taping: Support, Relief, and Recovery
Kinesiology taping is a therapeutic technique used by physical therapists to support muscles and joints, reduce pain, and aid recovery - without restricting your movement. While it's not a standalone treatment, kinesiology taping is often used as part of a comprehensive care plan and is especially effective when combined with other therapies such as manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and neuromuscular re-education.
At FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers, our practitioners apply the tape with expert precision based on your specific needs. Once applied, the tape gently recoils, creating a slight lift in the skin. This subtle lifting effect increases space between the skin and the underlying tissues, which may:
- Reduce pressure and inflammation
- Encourage lymphatic drainage
- Improve blood circulation
- Support injured or fatigued muscles
- Stabilize joints without limiting mobility
- Relieve pain and muscle tension
- Enhance functional movement and endurance
- Help reduce swelling and bruising
Kinesiology taping can be beneficial for a wide range of conditions, including:
- Sports injuries
- Muscle strains
- Joint instability
- Post-surgical swelling
- Tendinitis
- Back, neck, and shoulder pain
- Chronic pain conditions
Whether you're recovering from an injury, looking to prevent one, or just want to improve your movement and comfort, kinesiology taping may be a great addition to your therapy plan.
