When you visit a physical therapist, there are several treatment options that may be

considered to help you rehabilitate after a surgery or injury. One of these options is

the use of Kinesio tape, a �exible tape that provides stability and support while still

allowing full range-of-motion.

Kinesio tape is used across many disciplines, and it is not uncommon to see brightly

colored tape on the arms, legs, and/or torsos of professional athletes, who use the

tape either to help them recover from injury or for performance enhancement.

However, Kinesio tape can be bene�cial even for those who are not professional

athletes.

At OSR Physical Therapy, our team may use Kinesio tape for those who are recovering from a strain or sprain, or for those who are training for an athletic event.

Kinesio tape is di�erent from other taping methods in that it does not constrict the

areas of concern; rather, through a speci�c taping method, encourages circulation

and the movement of in�ammatory �uid under the skin, which could help an injury

like an ankle sprain heal faster. Kinesio tape is thought to have the same bene�ts for

muscle issues, as proper blood �ow and circulation often alleviates pain and soreness

of the muscles.

After determining where Kinesio tape will provide the best bene�ts, your OSR

physical therapist will apply the tape in the direction that best aids circulation. The

tape is intended to be worn for several days at a time through exercise, swimming,

showers, and normal activities.
