What Is 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 therapy 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, Body Balance Physical Therapy, offer such treatments 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?
It 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.
It 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 of 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 are the Benefits of Kinesio Taping?
There are many reasons why this therapy 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. Kinesio taping 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. Kinesio taping 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.
