KINESIO TAPE

The Kinesio Taping Method is a definitive rehabilitative taping technique that is designed to facilitate the body’s natural healing process, while providing support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting the body’s range of motion. It provides extended soft tissue manipulation to prolong the benefits of any manual therapy and massage administered by Sports Therapist.

Brightly coloured tape, wearable for 3 to 5 days at a time to provide 24-hour results to the patient. The Kinesio Taping Method is a therapeutic taping technique not only offering support, but also rehabilitating the affected condition. By targeting different receptors within the body the Kinesio Tape alleviates pain and facilitates lymphatic drainage.

Kinesio Tape can be applied in hundreds of ways and has the ability to re-educate the neuromuscular system, reduce pain and inflammation, enhance performance, prevent injury and promote good circulation and healing, and assist in returning the body to to its natural state.

In some cases, the treatment of a condition may require treatment of other underlying conditions by a Sports Therapist at MatchFit but Kinesio Tape can be a valuable addition to any treatment session.  It has been proven to have positive physiological effects on the skin, lymphatic and circulatory system, fascia, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints. It can be used in conjunction with a multitude of other treatments and modalities we use at MatchFit and is effective during the rehabilitative and chronic phases on an injury as well as being used for preventative measures.
