Kinesiology taping is a targeted application of flexible sports tape designed to support muscles and joints without restricting movement. It can be useful for day to day aches, training niggles, or postural tension, helping you feel more supported and comfortable as you move.

How kinesiology tape is applied in a 10 minute slot
This is a quick, practical appointment designed for a single area rather than a full assessment.
- You will be asked a few questions about symptoms and any skin sensitivities.
- The area is positioned to put the muscle or joint in the best place for taping.
- The tape is applied in strips, with tension adjusted to the aim of support.
- You will move the area briefly to check comfort and range of motion.
Aftercare for kinesiology tape wear, showering, and removal
Most people wear the tape for several days, depending on skin tolerance and the area taped. You can usually shower with it, but pat it dry rather than rubbing. If you notice itching, a rash, or increasing discomfort, remove the tape and let the skin settle.
