Kinesio Taping

The Kinesio Taping® Method…
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.
