Kinesiology Taping (KT)

Kinesiology taping was originally developed by Kenzo Kase in the 1970’s, but the methods continue to be developed. K-taping makes a great addition to a treatment and can be used to:

​

• Manage sports injuries and promote healing

• Reduce pain by disrupting the neurological pain pathways

• Support muscles and joints: KT normalises muscle function by helping inhibited muscles to ‘switch on’ and tight muscles to relax.

• Prevent injury and fatigue

• Enhance performance

• Reduce inflammation: KT decompresses the underlying tissue, which aids localised circulation

• Encourage lymphatic return to swollen areas.

• Increase proprioception (sense though which we perceive the position and movement of our body), helping to assist with functional muscle patterns.

​

The application of K-Tape can form part of a Sports Massage Treatment or a Remedial/clinical massage & Soft Tissue Therapy Session.
