Tape Application
Kinesiology Taping
£10
Kinesiology tape is an elastic adhesive that supports muscles, ligaments, tendons and joints during activity and can reduce pain from specific conditions. The kinesiology taping Method is a definitive injury rehabilitation technique that is designed to facilitate the body’s natural healing process while providing support to the structures without restricting the body’s range of motion. It has been proven to have positive physiological effects on the skin, lymphatic and circulatory system. It can be used in conjunction with a multitude of other treatments and modalities.
During an injury there is extra blood and lymphatic fluid under the skin which causes the pain receptors to fire, creating pain. Kinesiology tape lifts the skin which allows blood and lymphatic drainage at the injury site to disperse, thus increasing the space and allowing for a decrease in inflammation, reducing pain.
The benefits of kinesiology tape include:
- Optimised recovery
- Improved function
- Increased proprioception
- Increased postural awareness
- Supports muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints
- Reduces over-stretching of muscles
- Allows range of movement
- Decreased Inflammation
- Reduced pain
Sports Taping
£7
Sports tape is a method that involves a more rigid tape in an effort to reduce the available range of motion at a joint more than Kinesiology tape. It can be used as part of the therapy program to assist in rehabilitation and pain relief.
The general goal of sports taping is to restrict the motion of an injured joint, in order to add stability for a temporary period of time. It compresses soft tissues to reduce swelling, support anatomical structures involved in the injury, serve as a splint or secure a splint, secure dressing or bandages, protect the injured joint from re-injury, and protect the injured part during the healing process.
Sports tape is commonly used to:
- Relieve pain
- Improve joint stability
- Enhance athlete confidence
- Reduce injury recurrence
- Prevent injury
- Reduce strain on injured or vulnerable tissues
- Correct biomechanics
- Compress structures in the presence of swelling
