KINESIO TAPING GIG HARBOR
What makes Kinesio Taping effective
By lifting the skin on a microscopic level, Rock tape & Kinesio Tape effectively relieve pain through facilitating lymphatic drainage in the affected muscles. This lifting power also serves to decrease any inflammation that may be occurring.
The application of Rock tape & Kinesio Tape have been developed over many years. Taping is done according to specific patient needs following a thorough assessment. Many factors are taken into account upon application, such as position, strip shape, and the amount of stretch with which the tape applied. Because Rock tape & Kinesio Tape can be applied in hundreds of ways, the delivering physicians must be fluent in their use. Practicing chiropractors in Gig Harbor, at PRO SPORT have years of experience in the application of Rocktape & Kinesio Taping, assuring an accurate and effective placement and treatment.
