​

I use several different taping techniques. Kinesiology Taping, Lymphatic Taping & Sports Taping each have their own benefits & after an assessment I will advise which technique will best suit your needs.​

​

Kinesiology Taping

Kinesiology Taping is perfect for achieving quick, simple, safe effective relief from muscular strains & ligament/joint sprains. Kinesiology Taping is used to stabilise a specific area of instability, off-load pain through ‘decompression’, improve performance & to control swelling using lymphatic kinesiology taping

​

17 of the most common injuries/conditions can be treated using Kinesiology Taping techniques:

​

Plantar Fasciitis

Achilles Tendinopathy

Ankle Inversion Sprain

Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (Shin Splints)

Anterior Tibialis Tendinopathy

General Knee Pain

Patella Femoral Syndrome

Iliotibial Band Friction Syndrome

Medial Knee Pain – MCL Sprain

Hamstring Strain

​

Lymphatic Taping & Massage

Lymphatic massage is a gentle massage technique that stimulates the immune system, improves metabolism, reduces swelling & stimulates lymph circulation.

Lymphatic kinesiology taping is a great technique to help reduce pain, swelling & bruising. This can be from surgery, a twisted ankle, bad bruising, soft tissue damage,

It works by lightly lifting the skin, allowing the lymphatic system to work more efficiently & reduce pain by reducing the pressure on the nerve endings and the injury site.

​

Sports Taping

Sports taping is used for treating & rehabilitating both sporting & non-sporting injuries. Sports taping uses a variety of tapes, zinc oxide, EAB & adhesive mesh tape & these can be used in a clinical or sporting environment to improve performance of athletes & clients. Sports taping can be used for a variety of conditions that may not necessarily be sports related so don’t be put off by the name.

​

​

Plantar Fasciitis

Ankle Inversion Sprain
