K-taping

K-taping is a very gentle approach of therapeutic taping that is complimentary to massage therapy, acupuncture and integrative manual therapy. Taping provides a way for the treatment to continue even after you have left the clinic.

K-taping can be used to improve muscle function, improve circulation, reduce pain and to support joint function. By increasing or decreasing muscle tension, imbalances within muscle groups are corrected.

The K-tape is 100% cotton with a slight stretch and an acrylic backing. This allows the tape to provide support without impeding the function of the muscle or joint being treated. It is safe for people with latex allergies as it is latex free but does contain silica.In order for the tape to stick the skin needs to be clean and oil/lotion free. If your tape is to be applied after a massage we will remove the oil from the area that the tape will be applied. The tape can be worn in the shower or bath and for sports including swimming. It usually stays on for up to a week but can be removed at anytime if it starts to be uncomfortable.

K-taping can be helpful for many conditions including muscle strains/tears, joint sprains/instability, bursitis, tendinitis, contusions, fascial restrictions and scars.
