Kinesiology Taping

Kinesiology tape, also known as KT tape, is a thin, stretchy tape that adheres to the skin and applies pressure to the surrounding tissues. It’s designed to enhance performance and reduce the impact of injury or muscle imbalance.

• Stabilizes the injured area: The tape lightly adheres to the skin, allowing the connective tissue to move with the body.
• Stimulates muscles: The tape imitates the skin’s elasticity, which sends signals to the nerves to activate the muscles.
• Improves circulation: The tape helps blood flow to the area, increasing oxygen and reducing inflammation and swelling.
• Helps the lymphatic system: The tape helps drain waste products like lactic acid, which can help muscles perform better.
• Lifts skin: The tape slightly lifts skin, providing extra space for swollen muscles.
• Promotes healing: The tape may lead to health benefits such as increased circulation, reduced swelling, less muscle or joint pain, better muscle function, and movement.

I have been using kinesiology tape on myself and my clients for a while now and I have been impressed with the results. After application, you are able to wear kinesiology tape for up to 5 days straight. Most therapeutic solutions help in the moment and then fade as the day and week goes on. With KT tape, the therapeutic benefit lasts 24/7 for up to 5 days.

• Improved Sleep
• More Stability
• Better Range of Motion
• Less Physical Restriction
• Decreased Pain
• Better Lifting Form and Technique

I am now including KT taping with any personal training service I provide. But I am also provide KT taping as an additional service as well. I find the best way to experience the most benefits from KT taping is to have a Functional Movement Assessment prior to having KT taping. But this is not a requirement.
