Kinesiology Taping

Kinesiology Tape Add-On to Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy

As part of your musculoskeletal physiotherapy session, Kinesiology Tape can be applied as an additional treatment option to help support your recovery and manage pain. This is a non-invasive technique used to promote healing, reduce swelling, and support muscles and joints without restricting movement. Ellie may recommend kinesiology tape as an add-on to enhance the effectiveness of your treatment plan.
What is Kinesiology Tape?
Kinesiology tape is an elastic therapeutic tape designed to support and relieve pain in muscles and joints without limiting movement. The tape is applied to the skin in specific patterns that aim to alleviate discomfort, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation, allowing for more comfortable movement and faster recovery.

How It Works?
‍Kinesiology tape works by lifting the skin slightly, which helps to create space between the skin and underlying tissues.
This can:
-Relieve pressure on muscles and joints.
-Reduce swelling and bruising by improving circulation and lymphatic drainage.
-Support muscles without restricting movement
-Enhance proprioception, which helps you become more aware of how you move and align your body.

What to Expect?

During your physiotherapy session, Ellie will assess whether kinesiology tape is appropriate for your condition.
If recommended, Ellie will apply the tape in specific areas to target the source of your discomfort.
The tape is lightweight, breathable, and typically stays in place for 3-5 days, offering continuous support during daily activities.

When is Kinesiology Tape Used?

Kinesiology tape can be beneficial for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
-Muscle strains and sprains
-Joint instability
-Swelling or bruising
-Postural problems
-Chronic pain conditions (e.g., back pain, neck pain, knee pain)
-Sports injuries (e.g., ligament or tendon injuries)
-Tendonitis or other inflammation-based injuries
