Taping Technique

Kinesiotaping:

The Kinesio Taping Method involves taping over and around muscles in order to assist and give support or to prevent overuse. Kinesio Tape gives the patient support while maintaining full range of motion, enabling the individual to participate in physcial activity with functional assistance. Through the way in which the tape is applied, it can facilitate, relax or inhibit muscle function. Kinesio Taping is also effective in the removal of swelling, correcting misaligned joints, and supports muscles and ligaments through their full range of motion. Kinesio Taping can be applied to injuries including:

Any Sprain or Strain
Postural Disorders
Carpal Tunnel Syndroms
Tennis/Golfer's elbow
Knee Tracking and Tendon Disorders
Ankle Sprains
Rotator Cuff/Shoulder Injuries
Reduction of Traumatic or Post-Surgical swelling

Specific Proprioceptive Response Taping (SPRT):

SPRT taping, developed by Dr. Tim Brown, helps determine the direction necessary for proper approximation and compression of injured tissue. SPRT gives greater relief from the injury in movement patterns. Due to the types of tape used, SPRT is very supportive of injured areas, while still allowing for proper range of motion with activity. SPRT can be applied to injuries including:

Cervical or Lumbar Disc Herniations
Ankle Sprains
Knee tracking and tendon disorders
Shoulder Sprains and Rotator Cuff Injuries
Postural Disorders
Plantar Faciitis
