The Kinesio Taping Method is designed to facilitate the body’s natural healing process while allowing support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting the body’s appropriate range of motion. It is used to successfully treat a variety of orthopedic, neuromuscular, neurological and medical conditions. Benefits of Kinesiotape application include:
-
Increasing circulation to the area which allows much needed nutrients access to the injured tissue.
-
Correcting biomechanics by increasing the individual’s sensation to movement and improving mental awareness of the affected area.
-
Limiting range of motion across a joint that is potentially harmful in order to prevent injury.
-
Improving muscle contraction by providing neural excitation or inhibition of the muscle fibers that are contacted by the tape.
