Non Invasive Pain Treatment
The technique of Kinesio Taping is a rehabilitative process designed to ease the body's natural recovery process when providing stability and support to joints and muscles. It may be used to decrease inflammation and pain, relax overused or tired muscles, and encourage muscles in free motion.
Who Can Benefit from Kinesio Taping?
Kinesio Taping (also called"KT Taping") can be used as an adjunctive treatment for any individual with mechanical pain but works exceptionally well with injuries of overused muscles. Green Dog PT therapists can use Kinesio Taping with the following requirements:
Shin splints
Tendonitis
To fortify posture
Edema control (swelling)
Muscle pain
How Does Kinesio Taping Work?
Taping the body triggers proprioceptors or sensory receptors, which provide information regarding the place of the human body and its components in space at a particular moment in time. If these get turned on, a message goes to the mind to enhance muscle function and in return, reduce the amount of pain you're experiencing.
When your therapist measures, cuts and puts the tape onto your body. The tape can be worn for up to a week. There is no limit to the range of movement, and it will not impact your daily life. The Kinesio tape is designed to be watertight and friction-resistant.
How Much Does Kinesio Taping in Sayville COST?
Kinesio Taping is one modality that could be utilized as a part of your conventional Physical Therapy treatment. Because of this, it can be billed through your insurance. Your Green Dog PT Certified Physical Therapist will determine the use of taping and other modalities at the time of treatment.
