Kinesio Taping 

Kinesio Taping is a method of rehabilitation that offers support and stability to injured muscles and joints while also facilitating the body’s natural healing process. The technique aids in the benefits of performed manual therapy by improving range of motion and mobility of the injured site.

Kinesiology Tape can be used to help rehabilitate injured muscles and joints.

At 360 Physical Therapy & Wellness, our licensed physical therapists will perform Kinesio Taping by placing strips of the kinesiotape on the location of pain, as well as any other places that you may be experiencing stiffness.

Kinesio Taping is an effective technique that facilitates lymphatic draining by microscopically lifting the skin. This lifting process increases space between the tissues, which aids in decreasing inflammation and pain, and promotes circulation and healing of the injured area.

Kinesio Taping for chronic pain, such as low back pain, provides support and improves full range of motion. The tape is applied with light tension, starting from the origin of the muscle and extending toward the tendons that hold the muscle to the bone.

Benefits of Kinesio Taping include:

  • Pain relief. Kinesio Taping for pain management is an effective and safe form of physical therapy. The specialized taping technique blocks pain receptors and aids in muscle relaxation allowing for increased mobility and quicker healing. A study evaluating Kinesio Taping for knee osteoarthritis showed it as an effective approach to pain management.

  • Reduced inflammation. Kinesio Taping helps to decrease swelling and inflammation by lifting and limiting the pressure between the skin and tissues. This allows fluid build up to travel freely and improving circulation to promote a quicker healing process.

  • Improved joint stabilization. Kinesio Taping helps stabilize and support injured joints but does not limit mobility. This allows the surrounding muscles and joints to move within their intended range of motion. Kinesio Taping for shoulder impingement has been proven effective in reducing pain and improving mobility

  • Treatment of scar tissue. Healing from an injury or trauma can cause a band of scar tissue to form over the affected area, inhibiting mobility. Kinesio Taping helps to stretch the scar tissue, increasing mobility and reducing pain.

Kinesio Taping is an effective treatment method for sciatica, sprains, neck pain, low back pain, shoulder pain, rotator cuff injury, knee pain, fibromyalgia, and for post-surgery rehabilitation. At 360 Physical Therapy & Wellness our licensed physical therapists are trained in a variety of taping techniques to best treat your injury. Contact us to schedule your appointment today!
