Sports Injury Treatment & Prevention: Kinesio Tape Therapy

The doctors at SportCo Rehabilitation teach you about kinesio tape therapy

Kinesio tape therapy uses a special kind of tape for help with muscluloskeletal injuries, mid back pain, forward rolled shoulders, lower extremity injuries, neck pain, postoperative rehabilitation, and muscle imbalances.  At Sportco Dr. Jenna, frequently uses the tape for therapeutic support of the low back and calves for many of her patients who are runners.  This tape gives enhanced stability to weak muscles and helps reduce pain. The tape is different from typical athletic tape because it does not limit movement. While wearing kinesio tape you’ll see improved performance and a return to normal muscle movement, pain free. This tape is commonly used among many high level athletes and will be seen in the Olympic games this summer in London. If you are experiencing nagging low back pain or a tight spot in your calves while running come by Sportco for an evaluation to see if this therapy may be right for you!
