About Kinesio Taping
Kinesio taping is an elastic therapeutic tape that can be used to treat pain and muscle imbalance. It is designed to help with the healing process by providing support and stability to muscles and joints, which allows them to heal faster.
The tape is applied directly over the skin wherever there may be pain. The tape lifts the skin away from underlying tissue, creating a pulling force that increases circulation and allows for movement in joints. This allows for increased flexibility, decreased muscle tension and pain relief.
