Kinesio Taping

Kinesio Taping
The Kinesio Taping® Method…
The Kineso Method enhances the body’s natural healing process and provides support through the muscles.

How can something so gentle be so effective to reduce pain?
KTM allows for full range of motion . It does not negatively affect circulation, since there is no wrapping, and therefore no impediment of blood flow. KTM is a “light” modality. In rehabilitative applications it works continuously, so each treatment can continue for 3 to 5 days. KTM is like having healing hands to put on the area 24 – 7.
