Injuries are a part of playing sports, but it’s time to use every resource to resolve the issue when they interfere with your normal activities. Sports taping is also known as kinesiology taping. It involves using special tape to help reduce your pain and improve your mobility while simultaneously supporting your joints, muscles, and tendons.

What is sports tape used for?

All types of sports taping are used to facilitate your motion and inhibit your pain. The tape is made of a flexible material that allows you to move freely.

Sports tape is used with athletes to improve the components of sports performance, including:

  • Strength
  • Proprioception (i.e., static and dynamic balance)
  • Power
  • Jumping ability (vertical and horizontal)
  • Speed and agility

Sports tape is also used as an adjunct to treating sports, and non-sports injuries, like:

  • Ankle sprains
  • Runner’s knee
  • Hamstring pulls
  • Calf/Achilles strains
  • Rotator cuff problems
  • Back pain

Sports tape is used to help alleviate pain so you can get back to living your everyday active life!

What to expect at your physical therapy session

At your initial appointment, your physical therapist will perform a comprehensive evaluation to identify all the factors that may be contributing to the injury. This will help determine whether sports taping will be an effective treatment for you.

Our team will guide you through your treatment plan using targeted stretches, mobility work, strengthening, and pain relief techniques to help you feel better. We will then incorporate a return to sport progression to assist you in a safe return to the sport you love!
