Kinesio Taping
Bodies are not meant to break. The physiology of muscles and how they relate to the movement
of the body are already perfected. When one gets torn, pulled or ripped it can be an involved process
to get it back on track again. The process can be hard at first, but as the time and
rehabilitation regimen goes on the easier it is to reach the final goal of regaining
full function of one's muscle.
One way to ease the pain of a sore muscle is through kinesio taping. There is a distinct
difference between sports taping and this specific kinesio tape. It lies within the texture and
make of it. Regular taping can be harsh on the skin and unforgiving when it comes to movement. Regular
taping doesn't allow the muscle to move in its natural environment, which restrains how much it
can actually heal. Pairing a kinesio taping with massage is also a good way to alleviate pain. Head to Toe
Bliss, in Tequesta, Florida is a spa that offers, among its many services, specialty
massages. They are fully trained in athletic massages applying this kind of a taping for
any kind of event.
Kinesio taping is a tape that is made from an elastic material that mimics the skin's natural
feel. Therefore the tape just feels like a natural extension of the body. It allows one to
make the normal movements one would usually make without the restriction of an unnatural
material. Sports injuries are the perfect ailment to use this tape on. A regular taping
can stay on for a few days without peeling off and the fabric is breathable and doesn't
hold onto sweat. All of these elements allow a sports enthusiast to keep going
with their regular routines without missing a beat.
Kinesio taping has an array of uses besides sports injury as well. It is especially
useful in treating people who are dealing with Lymphedema and manual lymph drainage. The compression
that this tape offers in comparison to other compression devices such as bandages and other
tape offers more. It is more comfortable and when one is already dealing with
discomfort it is important to have an aid that alleviates pain, not cause more of
it. Its design is also meant to actually lift skin, allowing fluids under it to flow more
freely. When pairing a taping with a massage, this can be the best prescription to aid a
swollen lymph node.
Head to Toe Bliss specializes in alleviating sports injury pain and tension in general. They
understand the relationship between ailments and kinesio taping. Their professionalism that
comes with 35 years of experience and collaborating with doctors, spas and medical centers
