Kinesio Taping

Kinesio Taping Can Get You Back in The Game

Have you ever heard of Kinesio Taping?

Have you suffered from an injury or condition that is affecting your everyday life? If you are an athlete, Kinesio taping is a great form of treatment to get you back in the game. This can help you find the relief you need!

Pain can sometimes be so debilitating that it makes daily tasks much more difficult than they used to be. 

That is why we, NYC Wellness, offer treatments like Kinesio Taping to help alleviate pain, promote healing, increase strength and range of motion, and most importantly, get you back to comfortably living your normal life. 

What does Kinesio taping do?

This helps in resetting the circuitry in the affected part of your body by correcting any faulty interactions between the skin and muscles, joints, and tendons underneath. This results in improved muscle strength and activity.

This also works by blocking any pain receptors being sent to your brain. If those painful messages aren’t being received, the muscles in the affected area will loosen up and the likelihood for spasms will significantly decrease. 

Pain constricts an affected area, but if the pain is taken away, there suddenly becomes more freedom for blood flow and movement.

What is the typical Kinesio taping session like?

Our therapists will perform Kinesio taping by placing the strips of tape on the affected area of your body, as well as any other places that you may be experiencing pain or stiffness.

Our therapists will then implement a variety of exercises and modalities into their treatment plans, based on your specific needs. 

This is among these modalities, used to improve your mobility and provide support to your muscles, joints, and tendons. 

If you think you could benefit from Kinesio taping, request an appointment at NYC Wellness today!

Benefits of Kinesio taping

There are many reasons why Kinesio taping may be useful to you in your healing journey. 

These include, but are not limited to:

Pain relief

One of the biggest benefits of Kinesio taping is pain relief. 

By blocking pain receptors, your brain doesn’t receive the painful messages from the affected area any longer, and the muscles relax as a result. 

This allows for more mobility, quicker healing, and a more comfortable treatment process overall. 

Joint stabilization

Some conditions may make it difficult for joints to stay in place. 

This can help stabilize and provide support for these joints, while still allowing them to move around their intended range of motion.

Scar tissue management

This is an especially common treatment after an injury, surgery, or another type of trauma has occurred. 

Healing from trauma can cause a thick band of scar tissue to form over the affected area, which can inhibit signals of movement. 

Kinesio taping can provide a much-needed stretch to the scar tissue, making the signals of movement easier to communicate, and thus increasing your mobility. 

Decreasing swelling

Injury, surgery, or even simple overuse of a certain part of your body can also result in swelling. 

This helps to decrease swelling by limiting the pressure between the skin and the tissues underneath. 

This allows any buildup of fluid to travel freely and promotes easier movement of the affected area.

Consult with a therapist about Kinesio taping today!

At NYC Wellness, we are dedicated to helping you reach your peak physical performance, and we would love to meet with you and create a plan to make that happen. Request an appointment with one of our therapists today, and get started on your path toward recovery!
