The Proven Science of Kinesiology and Taping

Do you believe in the science of physical therapy? If that is a yes, then know that kinesiology and physical therapy go almost hand-in-hand. Kinesiology is the study of your body's movement and how these movements affect you in your daily activities.  

Our doctors at Sheldon Road Chiropractic and Massage Therapy in Tampa, FL, have an in-depth understanding of safe exercise programs related to you on an individualized level while preventing injuries.

Standard taping stabilizes the injured ankle and allows limited movement so the area has time to heal. This taping process supports your body while restricting your joint’s movement. What makes Kinesio taping different is that it is less restrictive but allows for the free flow of lymph by lifting the upper layers of the skin, reducing fluid congestion. It can also allow blood to flow more easily than would happen using more restrictive tape. Kinesio taping may also be used in circumstances where an athlete needs to keep a joint stable while allowing some range of motion.

Kinesio taping can also be used as a preventive measure. Some people find that using it allows them to keep easier track of where their bodies are in space. It can also help to normalize muscle tone, resulting in a reduction of spasms, and can allow scar tissue to stretch further, making it less likely to fray.
