Kinesio Taping
Kinesio Taping in Schaumburg &
Chicago's Northwest Suburbs
The Kinesio Taping Method has taken the
Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine world by storm. Developed by Dr.
Kenzo Kase nearly 25 years ago in Japan, Kinesio Taping has become
the gold standard for therapeutic rehabilitative taping. Our
proprietary method of taping uses a uniquely designed and patented
tape for treatment of muscular disorders and lymphedema reduction.
The
Kinesio Taping Method involves taping over and around muscles in order
to assist and give support or to prevent over-contraction. The first
technique gives the practitioner the opportunity to actually give
support while maintaining full range of motion, enabling the individual
to participate in physical activity with functional assistance. The
second technique helps prevent overuse or over-contraction and helps
provide facilitation of lymph flow 24 hours per day. It is most commonly
used in the acute stage of rehabilitation. Correctional techniques
include mechanical, lymphatic, ligament / tendon, fascia, space, and
functional. Kinesio Tex Tape can be used in conjunction with other
therapies, including cryotherapy, hydrotherapy, massage therapy, and
electrical stimulation.
Kinesio
Taping affects the activation of the neurological system, the body’s
information processor, and the circulatory system. Muscles are not only
attributed to the movements of the body but they also control the
circulation of venous and lymph flows, body temperature, etc. Therefore,
the failure of the muscles to function properly induces various kinds of
symptoms. Consequently, so much attention was given to the importance of
muscle function that the idea of treating the muscles in order to
activate the body's own healing process came about. Using an elastic
tape, it was discovered that muscles and other tissues could be helped
by outside assistance. Employment of Kinesio Taping creates a totally
new approach to treating nerves, muscles, and organs.
