Kinesio Taping
At Park Rehab, we use this trusted technique to help reduce pain, support healing tissues, and restore movement – so you can get back to the activities you love, faster.
What Is Kinesio Taping ?
Kinesio taping is a therapeutic taping method designed to support muscles and joints without restricting movement. The tape interacts with your skin and the underlying tissues to reduce pain signals, improve circulation, and provide targeted support where your body needs it most.
Whether used alone or alongside other physical therapy techniques, it’s a simple, effective, and non-invasive tool to boost recovery and reduce discomfort.
What Are The Benefits Of Kinesio Taping ?
Kinesio taping offers a wide range of therapeutic benefits. Our physical therapists may recommend it as part of your treatment plan to help with:
- Swelling Reduction – Taping decreases pressure between the skin and tissues, allowing fluid buildup to drain and restoring motion to swollen areas.
- Pain Relief – By interrupting pain signals sent to the brain, Kinesio taping helps muscles relax – reducing tension and discomfort.
- Joint Stabilization – Taping provides light support for unstable joints without limiting range of motion, helping you move confidently and safely.
- Scar Tissue Management – Taping can stretch and soften scar tissue, improving mobility and helping restore normal muscle and nerve function after injury.
What Can I Expect During A Kinesio Taping Session?
At your first visit, a licensed physical therapist at Park Rehab will perform a thorough assessment to determine if Kinesio taping is right for you. If it’s recommended:
- Tape will be applied directly to the affected area and/or nearby regions contributing to your symptoms
- Placement and tension will be customized to address your specific needs (pain relief, support, circulation etc.)
- Taping will often be combined with exercises or manual techniques as part of your overall treatment plan
Many patients report immediate improvements in movement and comfort following treatment.
