Kinesio Tape can help with a variety of muscle and joint conditions.
You may have watched Kerri Walsh play volleyball in the recent Olympics with that black stuff on her shoulder. This taping technique is called Kinesio Tape .
Applied on injured tissue by a chiropractor professional, Kinesio tape is able to alleviate pain, re-educate the neuromuscular system and speed up the healing process. Kinesio tape is waterproof and latex free. Unlike other traditional tapes, it may be worn up to 7 days.
By being a non-restrictive type of support, Kinesio tape allows full range of motion of any body part where it is applied: shoulders, neck, knees, lower back, elbows and so on. Furthermore, sprains and swollen areas are also well treated by the application to maximize recovery time.
