How Can Physical Therapy Help?
The primary purpose of Kinesio taping is not only to provide support for joints and muscles but also to aid in the elimination of pain and increase both lymph drainage and blood flow. Our Doctor of Physical Therapy has been properly trained in the application of Kinesio tape to help correct abnormal muscle function. Through the alleviation of the stress affecting the musculature, pressure is relieved from nearby nerves, blood, and lymph vessels. As these systems begin to function properly, inflammation and pain begin to decrease, and the restoration of the full range of motion is accomplished. In contrast to traditional taping methods that are primarily utilized to reduce motion and stabilize the joint, Kinesio taping is applied in such a way that it doesn’t cause compression of the underlying structures.
