Dr. Sam of Active Life Chiropractic uses kinesiology taping techniques on a variety of athletes and other individuals looking to improve performance, prevent injury, and return to their sport or normal life quickly. The wave pattern found on the adhesive of kinesio tape has a lifting effect on the skin and takes pressure off pain receptors, which can reduce swelling, pain, inflammation and improve circulation.
Kinesio taping techniques have a comprehensive array of therapeutic and rehabilitative benefits. The tape can be left on for several days or up to a week, significantly accelerating the healing process from trauma, injury and inflammatory conditions. Along with providing support for weak or injured body parts, kinesio taping also provides muscle support, reduces swelling, and provides pain relief.
