Kinesio Taping in Stuart, FL
Support Healing, Improve Movement, and Reduce Pain Naturally
At Oceanside Physical Therapy in Stuart, Florida, we use Kinesio Taping to support muscles and joints, reduce inflammation, and promote faster healing. This simple yet effective taping method provides targeted support while allowing full range of motion, helping patients recover comfortably and confidently.
Whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing an injury, or training for your next athletic event, Kinesio Taping can help stabilize your movement and improve body awareness without restricting performance.
What Is Kinesio Taping?
Kinesio Taping involves applying a specialized elastic tape to your skin to support muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Unlike traditional rigid athletic tape, Kinesio Tape moves with your body — gently lifting the skin to improve circulation, decrease pressure on sore tissues, and promote lymphatic drainage.
Your Oceanside therapist customizes the placement, direction, and tension of the tape based on your specific injury or movement goal. The tape can remain on the skin for several days, offering continued support between sessions.
