Support your recovery, move with greater confidence, and get back to the activities you enjoy.
At Comprehensive Physical Therapy, Kinesio taping may be used to aid pain relief, promote injury recovery, increase mobility, and improve range of motion.
Kinesio taping can aid in pain relief caused by a variety of injuries. It is designed to support recovery while helping you maintain movement, so you can work toward resuming the activities you enjoy.
For a variety of reasons, Kinesio taping can aid in recovery. It may help restore function by repairing damaged connections between the skin and the muscles, joints, and tendons beneath it. Taping can also keep pain receptors from reaching the brain, resulting in fewer spasms and helping the affected muscles relax.
Our physical therapists in Metairie and Mandeville, LA will determine whether Kinesio taping is an appropriate part of your individualized treatment plan.
Kinesio tape can offer support while allowing the affected area to move within its normal range of motion.
Scar tissue can form around an affected area as it heals from injury. If it becomes dense, it may obstruct communication. Kinesio taping can stretch scar tissue, allowing signals to move and helping increase mobility.
After an injury, it may be difficult for the body to maintain proper joint positioning. Kinesio tape can aid in stabilizing and supporting painful joints while still allowing movement within a normal range of motion.
Kinesio taping can help reduce swelling related to surgery, injury, or overuse by lowering pressure between the skin and the tissues beneath it. This can allow fluid accumulation to flow more freely and help the area move with greater ease.
Because taping can inhibit pain receptors, the brain may receive fewer pain signals from the affected area. This can help muscles relax, support greater mobility, and contribute to a more comfortable treatment experience.
Your physical therapist will assess your condition and determine whether Kinesio taping is appropriate for you. When it is included in your care, your therapist applies the tape to stiff or uncomfortable areas of your body.
Kinesio taping is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Your therapist may also include a variety of exercises and techniques in your treatment plan to address your needs, improve your physical performance, and support your recovery.
