About Kinesio Tape treatment
You have surely seen athletes (runners, footballers, weightlifters or handball players) wearing tapes of different colours on their bodies. These are kinesiology tapes, which help by relaxing the skin and the tissues beneath the applied tapes.
Kinesio Tape strips stimulate blood circulation, can reduce pain and relax the muscles, thereby reducing the load on the tissues.
Its positive effects: rapid pain reduction, a wide range of uses, a safe method, and it contains no chemical substances.
How does the treatment work?
The tape is versatile and has many uses. It can be a solution for bruises and muscle strains, for relieving muscle pain, and for spine problems (among others it improves poor posture and can reduce pain and the forces acting on the spine); it can also help in the fight against cellulite. In addition, it helps restricted muscles and reduces sprains, pain and ligament injuries.
From one day before the kinesiology tapes are applied you should no longer use body lotion or cream, and applying them requires expertise, since every tape has a different effect and effectiveness.
When does the treatment help?
Before starting the treatment I determine how much tape and what kind is needed to reach the optimal level, then I have to place it in the right direction, precisely on the surface to be treated. The tape usually works for 4-5 days, after which it can easily be removed with warm water.
Kinesio Tape is also colour therapy. Warm colours energise, cold colours reduce inflammation and so aid regeneration. The tapes have no known side effects.
I occasionally use the Kinesio Tape technique as a complementary course to chiropractic treatment, but in some cases this treatment alone can be enough.
After the treatments, I can give you back the joy of pain-free movement!
