Kinesiotaping

Kinesiotaping, developed by Dr. Kenzo Kase, D.C. nearly 25 years ago in Japan, has become the gold standard for therapeutic rehabilitative taping.

The Kinesiotaping Method involves taping over and around muscles and joints in order to assist, give support, or to prevent over-contraction. It is effectively used in both the acute and chronic stages of rehabilitation and care. Correctional techniques include mechanical, lymphatic, ligament/ tendon, fascia, space, and functional. Kinesiotaping can be performed in conjunction with other therapies including cryotherapy, hydrotherapy, massage therapy, and cold laser therapy.

Since the introduction of Kinesiotaping into the U.S., healthcare practitioners have recognized and embraced this effective, safe, and easy-to-use modality. This method of taping allows the individual to receive the therapeutic benefits continuously for several days per application. Currently, Kinesiotaping is used in hospitals, clinics, universities, high schools, and by professional sports teams.
