At Apollo physical therapy we specialize in kinesio taping. Just what is kinesio taping and how can it help?
Kinesio Taping Method is a therapeutic tool utilised by the rehabilitation specialists in all programs (paediatric, geriatric, orthopaedic, neurological, oncology and others) and levels of care (acute care, inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient, home care and Day Rehab). The idea of using elastic tape to mimic the therapist’s hands was first presented by Dr Kenzo Kase in the 1970s
. Since then it became the modality used in pain management, soft tissue injury, tissues and joints malalignment, oedema, and more. Kinesio Taping Method utilises four types of Kinesio Tex Tapes, each one with specific properties designed to use on fragile skin, sensitive skin or applied with higher tensions.
