Have you suffered from an injury or condition that is affecting your everyday life? Pain can sometimes be so debilitating that it makes daily tasks much more difficult than they used to be. That is why we, NorthStar Physical Therapy, offer treatments like Kinesio Taping to help alleviate pain, promote healing, increase strength and range of motion, and most importantly, get you back to comfortably living your normal life.
What are the benefits of Kinesio taping?
There are many reasons why Kinesio taping may be useful to you in your healing journey. These include, but are not limited to:
Decreasing swelling
Stabilizing joints
Relieving pain
Managing scar tissue
How exactly does Kinesio Tape work?
Kinesio taping works by doing a few important things for your body. It helps in resetting the circuitry in the affected part of your body by correcting any faulty interactions between the skin and muscles, joints, and tendons underneath. This results in improved muscle strength and activity.
Kinesio taping also works by blocking any pain receptors being sent to your brain. If those painful messages aren’t being received, the muscles in the affected area will loosen up and the likelihood for spasms will significantly decrease. Pain constricts an affected area, but if the pain is taken away, there suddenly becomes more freedom for blood flow and movement.
What will I get out of Kinesio taping?
Our Star physical therapists will implement a variety of exercises and modalities into their treatment plans, based on your specific needs. Kinesio taping is among these modalities, used to improve your mobility and provide support to your muscles, joints, and tendons.
Our physical therapist will perform Kinesio taping by placing the strips of tape on the affected area of your body, as well as any other places that you may be experiencing pain or stiffness.
