Kinesiology Taping

Kinesiology taping is a rehabilitative technique that uses elastic tape to apply gentle pressure to the skin. This pressure can help to improve circulation, reduce pain, and support the muscles and joints. Kinesiology taping is often used to treat a variety of conditions, including muscle strains, tendonitis, and joint pain.
