Kinesiology Tape Walsall | Elevate Soft Tissue Therapy

Have you seen the funky coloured tape that people are wearing and wondered what it is and what it’s doing? then read on!

In the 1970’s Dr Kenzo Kase developed the Kinesio Taping technique and Kinesio Tex tape, as a taping system that assisted healing damaged tissue. It did this by supporting joints and muscles without restricting movement and encouraging lymphatic drainage.

When Kinesio Tape is applied correctly it microscopically lifts the skin away from the muscle and fascia below, increasing blood flow; which relieves swelling, delays fatigue and increase kinaesthetic awareness.

At Elevate Soft Tissue Therapy we use premium quality products from Rock Tape to assist treatment of a number of conditions; such as – Knee Pain, Back & Shoulder Pain, along with Postural Improvement and Swelling control.
