Kinesiology Tape

Kinesiology Tape

At Infinite Health Group, we believe in offering effective and natural solutions to help our patients recover faster, move better, and live without pain. One of the tools we often utilize in our treatment plans is kinesiology tape, a simple yet powerful method that supports healing, reduces discomfort, and enhances physical performance.

What Is Kinesiology Tape?

Kinesiology tape is a specialized elastic therapeutic tape made from a blend of cotton and nylon designed to mimic the skin’s elasticity. Unlike traditional athletic tape, which restricts movement, kinesiology tape allows for a full range of motion while providing structural support to muscles and joints.

How Does It Work?

Kinesiology tape works by gently lifting the skin away from the underlying muscles and fascia.

This slight lift creates space and reduces pressure, which can:

• Improve blood and lymphatic flow

• Decrease inflammation

• Alleviate pain by reducing pressure on pain receptors

• Support muscles and joints without limiting movement

• Promote better postural awareness and alignment

Who Can Benefit from Kinesiology Tape?

Kinesiology tape isn’t just for athletes. It’s a helpful tool for people of all ages and activity levels who are experiencing muscle, joint, or soft tissue issues. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, dealing with chronic discomfort, or looking to enhance physical performance, kinesiology taping may be a great addition to your care plan.

Conditions It Can Help Treat

Kinesiology tape can be used to help manage and relieve symptoms associated with a wide variety of conditions, including:

• Muscle strains and sprains

• Joint instability

• Tendonitis and bursitis

• Plantar fasciitis

• Carpal tunnel syndrome

• Rotator cuff injuries

• Shin splints

• Postural imbalances

At Infinite Health Group, we tailor each taping application to the specific needs of the patient to ensure optimal results.
