What is Kinesio Tape?
Kinesio tape or kinesiology taping is a technique that uses specialized tape to support your joints. Dr. Pete places it on areas like your wrist, ankle, and knee to support muscles and tendons. Chiropractors and other physicians have used this method since the 1970s.
Specialists believe this tape balances the neural circuitry in your body's muscles, joints, tendons, and skin. A physician carefully applies this tape to these areas using various techniques that provide varying benefits.
