What is Kinesiology Taping?

Elastic therapeutic tape, also called kinesiology tape, Kinesio tape, k-tape, Rock Tape or KT, is an elastic cotton strip with an acrylic adhesive that is utilized to relieve pain from athletic injuries and other physical disorders. This service is specially made to assist with facial tightness, increase your muscles ability to function and support injured structures.

How Does Kinesiology Taping Work?

Kinesiology taping makes a lift that unloads the underlying tissues. Decompressing those tissues can alter the signals going to the brain, which lead to pain relief. This also helps in supporting structures, aiding with postural deficits, and assisting with lymphatic drainage when applied properly. Our FYZICAL Old Cherokee staff are trained in different techniques and uses of kinesotape.

What Conditions Does Kinesiology Treat?

  • Supporting weak zones
  • Injuries
  • Re-educating muscles
  • Enhancing performance
  • Managing scars

What to Expect? 

When using Kinesiology taping you should feel relief of pain and improved function just about immediately after it is applied. You will be able to leave Kinesotape on for 3-5 days as long as it doesn’t cause irriation to the skin.
