Kinesio Taping
Professional Kinesio taping to support muscles, reduce pain, improve circulation, and enhance athletic performance—all while maintaining full range of motion.
What Is Kinesio Taping?
Kinesio Taping is a therapeutic technique that uses specialized elastic tape to support muscles and joints without restricting movement. Unlike traditional athletic tape, Kinesio Tape stretches with your body, providing support while allowing full range of motion. This makes it ideal for both injury recovery and athletic performance enhancement. At Waterside Chiropractic and Medical, our trained providers apply Kinesio Tape as part of comprehensive treatment plans for back pain, shoulder injuries, sports injuries, and more.

The Science Behind the Tape
Kinesio Tape works by gently lifting the skin, creating microscopic space between the skin and underlying tissues. This decompression effect has several therapeutic benefits: it improves blood and lymphatic circulation, reduces pressure on pain receptors, and provides support to muscles and joints.
The tape also provides proprioceptive feedback—sensory information that helps your brain understand where your body is in space. This can help improve posture, movement patterns, and muscle activation, making it valuable for both injury recovery and athletic performance.
