FAQs

Kinesio taping is a therapeutic technique that uses a special elastic tape to support and stabilize muscles and joints without restricting movement. It can help reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling, while also improving circulation and promoting healing.

Kinesio tape is applied to the skin with varying degrees of stretch and tension, depending on the desired effect. It lifts the skin microscopically, creating space and reducing pressure on pain receptors, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels. This can help to:

  • Reduce pain and inflammation
  • Improve circulation and lymphatic drainage
  • Support muscles and joints
  • Enhance proprioception (body awareness)
  • Facilitate healing

Dynamic taping is a relatively new taping technique that uses a highly elastic tape to provide dynamic support and assist with movement. Unlike Kinesio tape, which is designed to provide stability, Dynamic tape acts more like a spring, helping to absorb force and reduce stress on tissues during movement.

Dynamic tape is applied with strong recoil, allowing it to stretch and contract with movement. This can help to:

  • Absorb shock and reduce stress on muscles and joints
  • Improve biomechanics and movement efficiency
  • Enhance athletic performance
  • Aid in injury recovery

Sports taping is a traditional taping technique that uses rigid or semi-rigid tape to provide strong support and stability to joints, particularly during high-impact activities. It is commonly used to prevent injuries or to support injured joints during rehabilitation.

Sports tape is applied to restrict movement in specific directions, providing support and stability to the joint. This can help to:

  • Prevent excessive movement that could lead to injury
  • Protect injured joints during activity
  • Provide proprioceptive feedback (body awareness)

Taping can be beneficial for a variety of conditions, including:

  • Muscle strains and sprains
  • Ligament injuries
  • Tendonitis
  • Joint pain and instability
  • Postural imbalances
  • Swelling and inflammation
  • Sports injuries

Your practitioner will assess your condition and determine the appropriate taping technique and application. They will then apply the tape with precision to achieve the desired support and therapeutic effect.

Depending on the type of tape and application, it can typically stay on for 3-5 days, even during showering and exercise.
