Even if you’ve played sports and never needed a joint or muscle taped, you’ve probably seen an athlete who did.
Kinesio taping provides support and stability, without cutting off circulation despite patients wearing the tape 24-hours-a-day. It can also reduce pain and inflammation, relaxing muscles so you have a more range of motion.
Some of the conditions it’s used for include:
- Ankle sprains
- Athletic injury prevention
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Groin injuries
- Knee pain
- Lower back pain
- Plantar fasciitis
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Shoulder pain
- Tennis elbow
- Whiplash
