Kinesio Taping Method

Are you struggling with joint pain, stiffness, and soreness? If so, kinesio taping might be able to help you. We are Estner Injury Centers, and we have a significant amount of experience working with people who have a wide variety of musculoskeletal concerns. We have numerous treatment options that we can use to help you, and one of the most popular options is called kinesio taping. It is often shortened to k-tape, and we can use it to help you recover while also minimizing complications and side effects. What is kinesio taping, and how does it work? Learn more below, and reach out to us to schedule an appointment.

What Is K-Tape and How Does It Work?

If you have ever seen an athlete on TV running around with colored tape on their joints, you know what k-tape looks like. The goal of this tape is to keep your individual tissues, ligaments, and tendons in the right location. With k-tape, you can increase the amount of space between certain tissues, giving them space to “breathe.” That way, you don't have to worry about them compressing one another, and you can ensure that you have adequate blood flow to different parts of your body. K Tape comes in many shapes and forms, and we can find the right option to meet your needs. 

What Injuries Can K-Tape Address?

There are several different types of injuries and ailments that kinesio tape can address. Some of the most common examples include:

• If you have suffered a muscle strain, k-tape can help you recover.
• If you have been diagnosed with tendonitis, kinesio tape might assist with the recovery process by reducing inflammation.
• If you have sustained a serious ligament sprain, we might be able to use kinesio tape as a part of the recovery process.
• If you are looking for a way to reduce pain following physical activity, k-tape could be able to help you. 

It is not unusual for us to combine K Tape with other treatment methods, so reach out to us if you would like to learn more about how the treatment option can help you. 

What Are the Benefits of the Kinesio Taping Method?

There are several significant benefits of the kinesio taping method. Some of the biggest benefits include:

• We can use this treatment method to increase your flexibility and mobility.
• With access to kinesio tape, we might be able to reduce swelling in certain parts of your body.
• We can also use kinesio tape to assist with the recovery process from serious injuries.

For all of these reasons, we frequently incorporate k-tape as a part of our treatment plant.
