Kinesio Taping

Return to Your Sport Faster with Kinesio Taping

Discover How Kinesio Taping Can Help You!

If you are an athlete, Kinesio taping is a great form of treatment to get you back in the game. Kinesio taping can help you find the relief you need!

Have you suffered from an injury or condition that is affecting your everyday life?

Pain can sometimes be so debilitating that it makes daily tasks much more difficult than they used to be.

That is why we, Benton Physical Therapy, Malvern Physical Therapy, and ProActive Physical Therapy, offer treatments like Kinesio Taping to help alleviate pain, promote healing, increase strength and range of motion, and most importantly, get you back to comfortably living your normal life.

How will I benefit from Kinesio taping?

There are many reasons why Kinesio taping may be useful to you in your healing journey.

These include, but are not limited to:

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.

Relieving pain

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.

Stabilizing joints

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.

Managing scar tissue

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.

What does Kinesio taping do?

Kinesio taping works by doing a few important things for your body.

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.

Kinesio taping 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 for 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 do Kinesio taping treatments look like?

Our Sheridan, Malvern, Benton, and Bryant, AR physical therapists will implement a variety of exercises and modalities into their treatment plans, based on your specific needs.

Kinesio taping is among these modalities, used to improve your mobility and provide support to your muscles, joints, and tendons.

Our physical therapist will perform Kinesio taping by placing the strips of tape on the affected area of your body, as well as any other places that you may be experiencing pain or stiffness.

If you think you could benefit from Kinesio taping, request an appointment at Benton Physical Therapy, Malvern Physical Therapy and ProActive Physical Therapy today!

So, how do Kinesio taping and physical therapy go hand-in-hand?

Kinesio taping has helped many of our patients get back to comfortably living their daily lives, without any lingering pain or stiffness.

At Benton Physical Therapy, Malvern Physical Therapy and ProActive Physical Therapy, our therapists will provide the very best Kinesio treatments to assist you in reaching that same outcome.

At your initial appointment, our Sheridan, Malvern, Benton, and Bryant, AR physical therapist will perform a thorough evaluation, which will determine if Kinesio taping will be an effective option for your treatment plan.
