Taping therapy comes in when your body needs extra support to help you move with ease. A special adhesive tape is directly applied to your skin. It helps to support your muscles, joints and ligaments without restricting your natural movement. We use the taping method for preventing injury, relief from pain, posture correction and improving sports performance.
At Kinetic Care Physiotherapy & Acupuncture Clinic, both kinesiotaping and zinc oxide taping are used in combination to afford a more holistic treatment. This approach helps in faster rehabilitation and better performance.
We offer advanced taping techniques as part of our holistic approach to rehabilitation and performance enhancement. Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or looking to optimize movement, our taping services provide targeted support tailored to your needs.
Kinesiology tape for dynamic support and healing
In simple words, Kinesiotaping works like a second skin. It works with your body and not against it. The tape we use is elastic and breathable. It mimics the natural stretch of the skin, giving your skin full freedom of movement, at the same time lifting it gently. Kinesiotaping reduces pressure on sensitive areas and helps to improve your blood circulation.
Zinc oxide taping provides firm stabilisation when more support is needed. In this method of taping, a non-elastic tape is used. This tape is perfect for protecting joints, ligaments and muscles during recovery. It also prevents injuries from intensive workouts.
Yes. Taping adds stability and support. To joints and muscles. It lowers the risk of sprains, strains and joint injuries during sports or while doing intense activity.
Yes. Kinesiotaping helps in better lymphatic drainage, resulting in reduced swelling and inflammation. Bruising after injury or surgery is also minimised.
Kinesiotape is water-resistant. You can bathe or swim with it on. Zinc oxide tape is less water-resistant and is applied for shorter durations.
While you may feel immediate pain relief and increased stability after taping, it is best to use it in combination with physiotherapy and rehabilitation exercises if you want a long-term cure.
No, it does not. Taping is best used in combination with physiotherapy techniques. Manual therapy, exercise rehab and acupuncture, when used alongside taping, offer a more effective cure.
