Kinesiotaping in Surrey, BC
Support muscles and joints, reduce swelling, and improve performance with kinesiotaping in Surrey, BC.
What is Kinesiotaping?
Kinesiotaping (KT taping) uses a thin, elastic cotton tape applied to the skin over muscles and joints to support injured tissues, reduce swelling, and improve movement without restricting range of motion. Unlike rigid athletic tape, kinesiotape moves with the body and can be worn for several days.
The tape works through multiple mechanisms: it gently lifts the skin to reduce pressure on underlying tissues, it provides proprioceptive feedback to improve neuromuscular control, it reduces swelling by improving lymphatic drainage, and it supports weak or overstretched muscles.
At Amari Physio & Massage, kinesiotaping is used as part of a comprehensive physiotherapy treatment plan to accelerate recovery, support return to sport, and manage symptoms of a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions.
