Kinesio® Taping

You may have been exposed to Kinesio® Taping f or the first time during the 2008 Summer Olympic Games where many athletes were sporting this cutting-edge taping technique. I began learning the concepts of Kinesio® Taping through Dr. Tim Brown while I was working at Newport Spine & Sport seven years ago and have since completed advanced training in Kinesio® Taping techniques. I have been using it extensively with CalPoly athletes this past year with great results.

Kinesio® Taping involves taping over muscles in order to assist and give support while still maintaining full range of motion allowing you to participate in normal physical activities. It can also be used during the acute stage of rehabilitation to help prevent overuse or over-contraction and facilitate lymph flow. Kinesio® Taping is an innovative approach to treating the muscular, neurological and circulatory systems and works well in conjunction with other therapies, including cryotherapy, hydrotherapy, massage therapy and electrical stimulation.
