Kinesio - taping

Kinesio taping is a therapeutic taping method using a specialised elastic tape, often called Kinesio tape or K-tape to provide support and stability to muscles and joints. It's designed to mimic the skin's elasticity, allowing for a full range of motion while promoting healing and reducing pain. The tape is applied to the skin and is believed to reduce pain by lifting the skin, which can improve blood and lymph flow and stimulate nerve receptors. 

At Sketty Osteopathy we have years of experience applying K-tape to support patients whether it is for a sporting event or part of injury rehabilitation.
