Kinesiology Taping

Kinesiology tape (Rock Tape) is a therapeutic elastic tape that is used to enhance treatment outcome.

It is made from a fine, breathable stretchy material, which makes the taped area feel comfortable and supported, whilst allowing natural movement without restriction.

Once the tape is placed over the stretched muscle it lifts the skin away from the muscle and fascia, improving blood flow to the area. This increases the amount of oxygen to the muscle, which reduces fatigue and enables faster muscle recovery.

Kinesiology taping is used to treat both sports and non-sports injuries, including the relief of pain and swelling associated with sprains, shin splints, plantar fasciitis, knee, elbow and shoulder dysfunctions or back pain.    

We are happy to demonstrate the correct taping techniques, so you or a partner/friend can simply re-apply the tape when needed. Taping can also be useful in supporting your children’s sporting endeavours.
