What's on your shoulder?

This a common question a few of our patients get on a regular basis. They are wearing Kinesio Tape.

What is Kinseo tape you ask? Well, let me explain what it does and how it can help more conditions than just shoulder pain.

The tape is applied over muscles to reduce pain and inflammation, relax overused or tired muscles, and support muscles in movement on a 24-hour-a-day basis. The taping is non-restrictive and allows for full range of motion.

Here is a bullet point list of what it can do:

• Re-educate the neuromuscular system
• Reduce pain
• Enhance performance
• Prevent injury
• Promote improved circulation and healing

You might have first seen the tape last summer Olympics on the beach volleyball players. You will definitely see it even more this summer Olympics. It has also been used for years on the Tour de France.

We have seen great success in Edgewater with the use of Kinesio Tape. We have had a shoulder that has ached for 20 years nearly resolve in pain. We have had heal pain of 2 years caused by trauma seem to dissolve away after an application.

What can Kinesio tape do for you?
