Kinesio Taping for Physical Rehabilitation, Injury Prevention, and Athletic Endurance

Kinesio taping is an innovative technique that has been used in medical applications since its inception in the 1970s, particularly for the treatment of soft tissue trauma and sports injuries.

 Kinesio taping works by expertly applying a self-adhesive flexible fabric-like material to the skin, using patented techniques, which our doctors are certified in. Once applied, kinesio taping assists in correcting muscular misalignments, restoring normal muscular function, decreasing pain, increasing vascular and lymphatic flow, and protect against further injury.

 Rather than restricting muscle function as other taping and bandaging methods do, kinesio taping enhances the body’s natural muscle movements and aids in healing and reducing myofascial pain. Patients who practice sports and enjoy physical activity can greatly benefit from adding kinesio taping to their fitness routines for improved performance and increased endurance.

 Used by professional athletes as well as fitness enthusiasts around the world, kinesio taping is a powerful tool that protects muscles from possible injury and increases muscular energy and endurance, resulting in superior performance. Kinesio taping has been used by Olympic athletes (including swimmers, runners, gymnasts, and many others), professional sports players, and marathon runners and has been widely publicized due to its effectiveness.

 Kinesio taping is an excellent complement to our range of non-surgical physical rehabilitation services and helps patients improve healing and comfort. It is recommended as a supplement to enhance the benefits of physical therapy, massage therapy, soft tissue mobilization, and chiropractic and orthopedic care provided by our expert staff.

 Patients who are in need of a boost while they work to heal and regain strength after an injury, as well as sports enthusiasts, runners, and athletes looking to enhance their performance are encouraged to visit us to experience the benefits of kinesio taping in NYC.
