Kinesiology Taping

Kinesiology taping is a supportive therapy which is most effective when used after the tissue has been treated with massage, stretching or mobilisation.

Kinesiology taping works by lifting the outer layer of skin and increasing the space in the tissue layers underneath.

Where there is pressure or pain from inflammation or tight muscles, the tape works to take the pressure away by lifting and increasing the space in the tissue.

The lifting effect of the tape also helps create space for improved blood and lymphatic flow.

 

Benefits of taping include:

• Pressure relief

• Pain relief

• Circulation improvement

• Support joint mobility

• Support muscle activity

• Improve proprioception
