Let the Kinesiology Tape Heal.

What is Kinesiology Taping or K-Taping?

 

K-taping or kinesiology taping is a holistic, non-invasive, and drug-free technique that alleviates pain and promotes healing. It involves applying a special type of elastic tape to the skin in a specific way, with the goal of improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and supporting injured or weakened muscles.

One of the advantages of K-taping is that it is a completely natural and non-toxic way to manage pain or improve physical performance.

How Does K Taping Work?

The method of kinesiology taping, or K-Taping, involves covering certain body parts, usually the muscles and joints, with an elastic therapeutic tape. By stabilizing and supporting muscles and joints without obstructing mobility, the tape aids in circulation improvement, inflammation reduction, and healing. It gently elevates the skin, which makes room for the tissues beneath the skin and improves lymphatic and blood flow.

  • Muscle strains and sprains
  • Joint pain and instability (knee, ankle, or shoulder)

How can K-taping at Wellth Help You?

K-taping works by lifting the skin and underlying tissues, which can help to reduce pressure on the affected area. The tape also provides gentle compression, which can improve circulation and promote the movement of fluids through the tissues.

When applied correctly, K-tape can be worn for several days at a time, making it a convenient option for people with busy schedules or who want to avoid frequent trips to the doctor or therapist. The tape is also waterproof, which means that it can be worn during activities such as swimming or showering.
