Kinesio Taping

Kinesio Taping is available at Hoover Physical Therapy. Kinesio Tape placed strategically to help assist in the joint’s action, or treat a joint dysfunction, has been extremely successful and clients have been amazed at the benefits. The technique assists overstressed muscles, and may correct dysfunctional muscle and joint actions.

Unlike more rigid braces, Kinesio Taping does not limit range of motion. And unlike traditional tape jobs, it is not compressive or constrictive. Kinesio Taping can be used on major muscle groups and smaller joints. Kinesio taping can treat some of the following conditions: carpal tunnel syndrome, plantar fasciitis, and rotator cuff injuries to name a few. Due to the passive stretch to the connective tissue via application of tape; this technique works great with myofascial pain syndrome and chronic pain conditions. Kinesio Tape is also beneficial in the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis.
