The weekend warrior lifestyle can have as much impact on your body as working hard throughout the week. If you are feeling effects of heavy activities during the weekend, Bomberg Chiropractic offers Kinesio Taping therapy.
What is Kinesio Taping? Let’s explore it a little further below.
Kinesio Taping: Reinforcing Your Body’s Healing Properties
By utilizing a rehabilitative taping technique, we can stimulate the body’s natural healing process while stabilizing the muscles and joints.
You may be concerned about how Kinesio Taping affects your range of motion. Kinesio taping, however, does not limit your flexibility. On the contrary, it reinforces your flexibility by giving you the stability you need in the most crucial areas of your body.
You can utilize your body’s range of motion without throwing out your back or straining your muscles.
Kinesio Taping also goes one step further by rehabilitating the affected areas that have been affected by your activities on the weekend. For instance, if you do mountain climbing, hiking, intense weekend workouts, or heavy yard work, Kinesio Taping will heal the areas most affected by rigorous movement and strain on the body.
How Does Kinesio Taping Work?
If you suffer from back pain, neck pain or joint problem, you may benefit from Kinesio Taping as an alternative to traditional chiropractic adjustment.
We apply latex-free taping to the affected areas of your body. You can wear the tape for several days at a time. The tape targets receptors within your somatosensory system. By doing so, it can almost instantly relieve pain.
The tape facilitates lymphatic drainage by lifting the skin and decreasing the inflammation in your muscles and joints.
The Kinesio Taping Procedure
When you visit the Bomberg Chiropractic clinic, we begin by performing an evaluation.
You tell us where you are feeling the most pain and what weekend activity you believe is causing it. We then perform a clinical evaluation that allows us to identify the affected areas. In some cases, you may be suffering from muscle inflammation. Alternatively, you may be feeling pain in your joints.
In either case, understanding what is going in your body will allow us to decide what course of action we need to take. Based on the results of your evaluation, we can recommend certain Kinesio Taping applications, as well as supplemental treatment.
We can apply the tapes according to your pain and where it is located. The approach we use will optimize your muscles and joints and improve your overall performance. This way you can continue your weekend activities and return to our clinic as needed.
