Kinesiology Taping

Supportive taping techniques used to reduce strain, reinforce posture, assist healing, and enhance physical performance without restricting movement.

How It Works

Kinesiology taping uses a flexible, elastic tape applied directly to the skin in patterns designed to support muscles and joints without restricting range of motion. The tape creates gentle lifting of the skin, which may help reduce localized swelling, improve circulation, and ease tension. By supporting body mechanics and reducing stress on affected areas, taping can facilitate recovery and promote optimal alignment during movement.

When It's Recommended

Kinesiology taping may be used as part of your care plan to support:

​

  • Postural awareness and re-training

  • Joint stability during rehabilitation or activity

  • Relief from mild muscle strains or ligament sprains

  • Management of swelling and bruising

  • Reducing stress on overused or irritated soft tissues

  • Enhanced support for high-performance athletes

 

This therapy is often used to complement chiropractic adjustments or physical therapy exercises by reinforcing alignment and easing soft tissue strain between sessions.

Treatment Experience

Taping is quick, non-invasive, and typically painless. Your provider selects the appropriate tape type and application method based on your needs. The tape is usually left on for several days, even during daily activity or light exercise. While some clients feel immediate relief, others benefit most when taping is used over a series of visits as part of a broader care plan.

Our Approach

At Maverick Health & Wellness, kinesiology taping is used as a targeted tool to support posture correction, reduce soft tissue stress, and enhance the effectiveness of movement retraining. We incorporate it into integrated care plans when clinically appropriate, never as a standalone intervention. Whether you're recovering from injury or optimizing performance, taping helps reinforce your progress between visits.
