Initial appointment & Review Appointments (Up to 60 min) £62 (product fee applies)
Have you recently seen phenomenal achievements by the Team GB Olympic & Paralympic athletes with K-Tape on various parts of their bodies?
Have you ever wondered "What is THAT all about?... Is it just a 'pretty' design, to look good"??
No Way!...
Kinesio-taping is another tool in the appropriately trained neuro-MSK physiotherapists' arsenal of treatment methods/options to help YOU recover from your neuro-musculoskeletal disorder (NMSD). These taping methods, if appropriately applied, can assist with:
-
Inhibition: of overactive/hypertonic muscles;
-
Facilitation: of weak/hypotonic/neurologically impaired muscles;
-
Space Correction: easing the burden/tissue weight on fascia & other tissues / vessels / receptors below the skin;
-
Mechanical Correction: placing tissues and/or joints in the correct mechanical alignment;
-
Lymphatic Drainage: aligning tissues correctly/appropriately to promote natural (body) fluid movement, which, in-turn assists with absorption of bruising/swelling...
Shona McNab is trained in KT1 (Foundation) and KT2 (Advanced) Kinesio-taping techniques!
