Hello everyone!
I am so happy to announce that I am now offering Kinesiology taping within my clinic!
What is Kinesiology tape?
Kinesiology tape (K-Tape) is an elastic therapeutic tape that helps to support and treat injury and joints. This tape is used in all sorts of sports, injury rehabilitation and recovery methods in order to help treat and heal different injuries and instability within various joints and muscles.
How does K-Tape work?
There are many theories on how K-Tape works and its benefits. In terms of injury rehabilitation/recovery, the most common conclusion is its ability to activate the lymphatic system and offload the tissue surrounding the injury. The lymphatic system is the network within our body that maintains fluid levels in our tissues by removing any toxins and fluids that leave the blood vessels. As K-Tape activates the lymphatic system it aids in this process, increasing the rate of recovery. By offloading the tissues, K-Tape lifts surface tissues, reducing the amount of tension and pressure within the area.
K-Tape also has the ability to stabilise and support joints whilst allowing full range of motion. Unlike rigid tapes that lock the joint into a certain range of motion or position, K-Tape supports/stabilises joints whilst allowing full range of motion, so the joint (if not a severe injury) can still move freely with added support.
Why is this important to me?
For optimal recovery of injuries, support and reduction of tension within your body, the application of K-Tape after Remedial Massage treatments will increase your recovery rate and allow for further support and healing days after your treatment has concluded. This will allow you to get back to the activities you love and help you feel better for longer!
The addition of taping after a Remedial Massage Treatment is completely free of charge and is here to help you further! So please, if you have any questions or would like to book an appointment I am here to help and get you back to the things you love!
