Kinesio Tape

Kineseo tape or KT tape has been around for a few years now, and although the research on its effectiveness can vary depending on what you are reading, at Salina Spine, Sport & Rehab we like to use it to help reinforce good movement patters. 

In most injuries there are common movements that tend to make the pain worse and some movements that seem to provide some relief. Because K tape has some elasticity to it, it allows us to tape patients to reinforce those movements. If we can aid them in avoiding more movements that hurt by applying tape in a certain manner then we will add it as part of the treatment plan.
