Kinesiology Taping

Kinesiology taping (KT) is a specific taping method applied to support joints, but still allow the surrounding muscles to function, decreasing muscle fatigue. KT acts to microscopically lift the skin to encourage a reduction in oedema and inflammation, via the lymphatic system, therefore reducing pain. KT can assist in re-education of the muscles and joints through increased proprioceptive input, allowing an improvement in range of motion and therefore helping you to return to the activities you love sooner.
