Looking for Kinesio taping in London? Kinesiology taping is a treatment designed to enable more effective blood flow and facilitate lymph drainage. It is often used to treat sports injuries, correct posture, support weaker zones of the body, and reduce the appearance of scars. This specialist tape application can help to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and increase circulation to speed up recovery. It can also facilitate better movement due to the proprioceptive response from the tape, providing the brain with sensory feedback that improves joint position awareness.
At bodytonic clinic, we offer professional Kinesio taping as a standalone service or as an integrated part of Physiotherapy, Osteopathy, or Chiropractic treatment, based in our award-winning clinics in central London. While taping is highly effective as a standalone method, it works best when used alongside manual therapy to improve overall function. This collaborative approach allows our practitioners to determine exactly where the pain or tension is arising from and treat the root cause while the tape provides ongoing support.
With 13 private treatment rooms across Canada Water and Stratford, we provide a clinical environment where your taping is applied by medical professionals. During a session, one of our professionally-trained Chiropractors, Osteopaths, or Physiotherapists will use the Kinesio taping method on affected areas of the body to stimulate pain relief and recovery. At the start of the session, your practitioner will perform an assessment to determine your range of motion and problem areas. This ensures the tape is placed with the correct tension and anatomical direction to support your specific needs.
Kinesiology tape is a latex-free, adhesive tape designed to replicate the functions of the human skin in terms of its thickness and elasticity, which allows Kinesio tape to be worn without restricting movement. This means that Kinesio tape is ideal for helping the natural healing process, providing support for the fascia, muscles, and joints. The process of strategically applying K tape to the body helps heal the soft tissues. Because it is both waterproof and breathable, Kinesio tape can be worn during exercise, showering, and even swimming to help support the body.
At Bodytonic Clinic, we also utilise Rigid Athletic Taping (Leukotape) when a patient requires mechanical stability or “unloading” of a joint. While KT Tape is flexible and focuses on proprioceptive feedback, Rigid Taping is used for high-level support of sprains or structural instability. Our practitioners determine which tape is clinically appropriate during your assessment.
Kinesio taping is a form of physical therapy that improves blood flow by microscopically lifting the skin, which increases the space within the layers of the subcutaneous tissue below. This allows for a more effective flow of blood and lymphatic fluid, decreasing inflammation, alleviating discomfort, and aiding the rehabilitation and healing of a joint or muscle. As well as being used to treat sports injuries such as shin splints and knee pain, it can also help treat other painful conditions such as plantar fasciitis.
