K-Taping therapy is used with an intent to reduce pain and disability from injury. The theory behind its effectiveness states that is stimulates skin receptors which may be associated with a reduction of pain and increased proprioception. It is also suggested that K-Tape along with the special application technique raise the skin and the tissues which creates more space for lymph fluid to flow easily. It improves blood circulation which stimulates the healing process. It is water resistant and can stay on your skin for up to 4 days. Its elasticity allows patients to maintain full mobility. Chiropractor and Physiotherapist at Preserve health centre are both certified K-Taping therapists.
