Kinesiology Taping Therapy
This is a fairly new treatment.This special tape (often known as K-Tape) has special properties that warm & support the treated area, but most most importantly lift the fascia to allow blood & lymph to flow, thus speeding up healing (you have probably seen this with the Olympic athletes and professional footballers wearing strange shaped and brightly coloured taping).
K-tape is not the same as zinc type tapes which are used to basically immobilize a body part .K-tape allows for flexion and movement whilst still offering support. K-taping is not offered as a stand alone treatment, rather than as an addition to other treatment offered when I feel it is appropriate. |
