KINESIOLOGY TAPING

Any type of injury or trauma to the body will set off the body’s natural protective mechanism known as the inflammatory response.  The main identifiable signs of this response are: pain, swelling, heat and redness as well as restriction the range of movement.

Kinesiology taping has been clinically shown to help with the natural response to inflammation.  It can help alleviate pain and encourages lymphatic drainage by lifting the skin thus allowing a decrease in the inflammatory process for affected areas.
