Kinesiology Taping (K-Tape)

What kinesiology tape does

K-tape is a flexible cotton tape designed to move with your body. When applied correctly it lifts the skin to reduce pressure on pain receptors, improves lymphatic drainage and gives injured tissue subtle mechanical support without restricting motion.

How we use it in your treatment

K-tape works best as part of a bigger plan. Your clinician chooses the pattern, tension and direction based on your assessment.

• Pain reduction taping
• Muscle facilitation and inhibition
• Postural correction taping
• Swelling and bruising control
• Joint support for return-to-sport

Common uses

K-tape helps a wide range of everyday and sports-related concerns.

• Knee pain and patellar tracking issues
• Shoulder impingement and rotator cuff strain
• Ankle sprains and instability
• Plantar fasciitis
• Lower back and postural pain
