What is Kinesiology Taping?

Kinesiology taping, also know as K-taping, is an elastic therapeutic tape used to prevent and manage sporting injuries. By applying the tape to a problematic or painful area it facilitates the natural healing process of the body’s tissues. The application of the tape helps to reduce pain whilst providing support and stability to the joint and muscles, without restricting range of movement due to its elastic properties.

How does Kinesiology Tape work?

There are many brands of K-tape which vary in design, but they all work in the same way, regardless of the colour you choose! The super adhesive and stretchy fabric of the tape means that it moves with the skin to allow functional movement, rather than restrict it, and can remain on the skin for a number of days. When applying the K-tape it creates a decompression force on the skin and the tissues beneath, and so in a sense pulls the tissues apart to make space between them rather than pushing down or compressing them. This reduces the amount of pressure on the nerve endings which eases the sense of pain we experience, allowing better movement of the layers of tissue, encouraging blood flow for tissue repair, reducing signs of swelling, and re-educating your body to follow corrective movement patterns.

I've had a problem with my right shoulder for a long time. Tablets, ice-pack's and rest have been enough to cope with the pain from rotator-cuff... flare ups, but not this time. I booked an appoint with Steven at MSK in Westerhope who explained what was causing the problem, worked on various areas with his magic hands and magic machines, and gave me a set of exercises to help prevent/minimise the flare ups in the future.Just the best - Why suffer when you could be well on the road to recovery in an hour.read more

I recently had a treatment from Sarah which consisted of a back and shoulder massage, cupping and some acupuncture. I was experiencing a lot of back... / shoulder discomfort and had some restricted movement in my left arm movements due to a frozen shoulder. The treatment was amazing, I have gained so much more movement and am following the exercises given to continue to improve flexibility. I would definitely recommend Sarah, she is incredibly professional, knowledgeable and made me feel so co. I’ll be continuing with future maintenance treatments as this has significantly improved my health and wellbeing.read more

I've been seeing Sarah since May after having issues with lower back pain. The sessions involve massages, theragun, cupping and acupuncture. Having... had physio previously elsewhere, I can honestly say that the sessions with Sarah have been much more beneficial.I've still being having some trouble with the pain so the referral process for an MRI was swift and efficient. Was in for a scan 2 days after the referral (was going to be 3+ months with the NHS).Now we know what the problem is we can both work on getting me sorted.Sarah is really friendly and chatty and makes me feel at ease during the sessions.read more
