About Kinesio Tape
How Does Kinesio Taping Work?
Kinesio Taping supports your muscles and joints while you keep moving, helping calm pain and swelling as your body recovers.
Kinesio taping is a drug-free therapy that uses a thin, stretchy, skin-friendly tape applied over muscles and joints to reduce pain, ease inflammation, and support recovery.
Unlike rigid athletic tape, it moves with your body, giving support and stability without restricting circulation or range of motion. It works by gently lifting the skin to stimulate your body's natural healing. At Hands of Health Chiropractic, Kinesio taping is part of a whole-person approach to healing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Few things you might be wondering
1What is Kinesio taping used for?
Kinesio taping is used to support injured or overworked muscles and joints, reduce pain and swelling, improve posture, and aid recovery, all while letting you move freely. It's common for sports injuries, everyday strains, and conditions like rotator cuff injury, tennis elbow, and plantar fasciitis.
2Does Kinesio taping hurt?
No. Applying the tape is painless, most people feel only a light, supportive pull on the skin. The tape is thin, breathable, and flexible, so it's comfortable enough to wear during daily activities, workouts, and even in the shower.
3How long does Kinesio tape stay on?
A single application typically stays on for three to five days, even through showering and exercise. Because it's water-resistant and moves with your body, you can wear it continuously and keep up your normal routine while it works.
4Is Kinesio taping safe?
Yes. Kinesio taping is non-invasive, drug-free, and safe for most people when applied correctly by a trained practitioner. Because proper placement and tension matter, it's best applied by a certified professional, our care is provided by a Certified Kinesio Taping Practitioner (CKTP).
5Can Kinesio taping be combined with chiropractic care?
Absolutely. Taping works beautifully alongside chiropractic adjustments and other therapies. Combining treatments often supports faster recovery and more complete, longer-lasting relief.
