Kinesio Taping is a supportive treatment method which holds the patient’s muscles and joints in a more optimal posture. This postural correction along with chiropractic care can have instantaneous results!
Kinesio Tape ideal For Posture Correction
The unique properties of Kinesio Tape allows it to be a perfect material for posture correction; it mimics the superficial layer of your skin and it can stretch up to 60% beyond its resting length. Kinesio Tape is also water resistant to withstand moist environments. As a result of these properties Kinesio Tape can be worn 24 hours a day for 3-5 continuous days.
The therapy is based on two main effects:
First, the stimulation of skin receptors which is associated with a reduction in pain and aids in proprioception, which unconsciously helps correct posture.
The second effect occurs when the elastic Kinesio Tape helps raise the skin and tissues which in turn promotes better circulation of blood and lymph fluid.
