Kinesio Taping
PMP Pain Center offers kinesiology taping (kinesio taping or KT) for pain management, tissue and joint malalignment, soft tissue injuries, and many more to provide support and relief without restricting movement.
Kinesio Tape® for Flexible Muscle and Joint Support
Kinesio Tape® is mainly designed to give flexible support to your muscles and joints so you can stay active while healing. Unlike regular tape, Kinesio Tape® moves with your body, providing stability without limiting your movement. This means individuals, especially athletes, can perform daily tasks and exercise comfortably while reducing the risk of further injury.
What Is Kinesio Taping?
Kinesio taping is a therapeutic technique that involves applying a special elastic tape to the skin to support muscles, joints, and tendons. It is designed to reduce pain, improve movement, and aid in recovery from injuries. Unlike traditional support tapes, Kinesio tape allows for flexibility, so you can still move comfortably while wearing it.
At PMP Pain Center, our physical therapists are qualified to apply Kinesio tape. Proper application results in improved blood circulation and reduced swelling in the affected areas, which is what makes this treatment so effective for pain relief and faster healing.
Common Conditions
Kinesio Taping Can Treat
Support adhesives have been around for many years already, but Kinesio tape stood out because of its unique elasticity that somehow mimics the natural properties of human skin. This allows it to move with your body while providing the necessary support.
Kinesiology taping can effectively treat a variety of conditions, including:
- Neck pain
- Back pain and strain
- Shoulder pain
- Sports injuries
- Swelling from injuries or surgeries
- And more!
