Benefits of
Kinesio Tape When you visit a physical therapist, there are several treatment options that may be considered to help you rehabilitate after a surgery or injury. One of these options is the use of Kinesio tape, a flexible tape that provides stability and support while still allowing full range-of-motion. Kinesio tape is used across many disciplines, and it is not uncommon to see brightly colored tape on the arms, legs, and/or torsos of professional athletes, who use the tape either to help them recover from injury or for performance enhancement. However, Kinesio tape can be beneficial even for those who are not professional athletes.
At OSR Physical Therapy, our team may use Kinesio tape for those who are recovering from a strain or sprain, or for those who are training for an athletic event. Kinesio tape is different from other taping methods in that it does not constrict the areas of concern; rather, through a specific taping method, encourages circulation
About Kinesio Tape Kinesio tape encourages circulation and the movement of inflammatory fluid under the skin. The tape is intended to be worn for several days at a time through exercise, swimming, showers, and normal activities.
and the movement of inflammatory fluid under the skin, which could help an injury like an ankle sprain heal faster. Kinesio tape is thought to have the same benefits for muscle issues, as proper blood flow and circulation often alleviates pain and soreness of the muscles. After determining where Kinesio tape will provide the best benefits, your OSR physical therapist will apply the tape in the direction that best aids circulation. The tape is intended to be worn for several days at a time through exercise, swimming, showers, and normal activities.
