Kinesiology Taping
This is the definitive rehabilitative taping technique that is designed to facilitate the body’s natural healing process while providing support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting the body’s range of motion as well as providing extended soft tissue manipulation to prolong the benefits of manual therapy. By targeting different receptors within the somatosensory system, kinesiology tape alleviates pain and facilitates lymphatic drainage.
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)
IASTM instruments were developed by experienced medical professionals through years of detailed research. The use of these tools and their effectiveness has been scientifically validated over and over again.
IASTM is another option to resolve pain and tightness in the body. This approach to fascia work reduces friction which allows a preciseness, sensitivity, and depth that cannot be accomplished with the hands, knuckles, elbows etc. The goal is to trigger a very local inflammatory healing response. This will stimulate the production of new collagen and proper, more functional, less painful healing.
