Kinesio Taping
At Leitner Chiropractic and Massage Therapy, Kinesio Taping is often used as a supportive add-on to chiropractic and massage care.
This specialized taping method is designed to help reduce discomfort, support injured or overworked muscles, and encourage the body’s natural healing process—all while allowing normal movement.
Kinesio Taping is appropriate for people of all ages, whether you’re managing everyday aches, recovering from an injury, or staying active with sports or exercise.
How It Works
Kinesio Tape is a thin, flexible tape that stretches and moves with your skin. Unlike rigid athletic tape, it does not limit motion. Instead, it works with the body.
When applied with proper technique, the tape gently lifts the skin, creating subtle decompression of the tissues underneath. This effect may help to:
- Improve blood flow and lymphatic drainage
- Decrease inflammation and swelling
- Reduce pain and irritation
- Support muscles and joints without stiffness
- Improve body awareness and movement control
Once applied, the tape can typically be worn for several days and remains effective during daily activities, including showering or light exercise.
