How will Kinesio taping in Staten Island, NY help me?
Kinesio tape is made of a flexible material that allows for freedom of movement. This type of tape is primarily used to aid movement and reduce pain. Furthermore, Kinesio taping is thought to be capable of reducing inflammation, promoting post-surgical healing, optimizing performance, preventing injury, promoting good circulation, and assisting the body’s natural healing process.
Kinesio tape is used with athletes to improve sports performance components such as:
- Strength
- Proprioception (i.e., static and dynamic balance)
- Power
- Jumping ability (vertical and horizontal)
- Speed and agility
It is also used to treat sports and non-sports injuries, such as:
- Ankle sprains
- Runner’s knee
- Hamstring pulls
- Calf/Achilles strains
- Rotator cuff problems
- Back pain
Kinesio tape is used to help relieve pain so you can return to your normal active lifestyle!
