Kinesiology taping, often referred to as therapeutic taping, is a technique that applies specialized, elastic tape to muscles and joints to offer support, enhance circulation, and assist in injury prevention and rehabilitation. Developed in the 1970s by Dr. Kenzo Kase, this method was designed to provide stability without the restrictive nature of traditional athletic tape. Its elasticity permits natural movement while reinforcing muscles and joints, effectively reducing pain, swelling, and inflammation. Additionally, it helps re-educate muscles that have lost function or adopted unhealthy patterns. At Strategic Bodywork, this innovative approach is exclusively practiced by our therapist Diana, who skillfully integrates it into her offerings.

How We Apply This at Strategic Bodywork:

  • Focused on your specific pain or injury spots, providing support where it’s needed most.

  • Diana uses the tape’s stretch to ease tension and stress, boosting recovery without slowing you down.

  • Applied strategically to match your movement patterns, offering tailored relief and stability.
