Kinesio Taping and Healing Modalities

Chronic pain resolves when damaged tissue repairs, the fascia returns to a neutral resting point, and the nervous system recognizes that balance has been restored. Damaged tissue needs oxygen to heal, oxygen is carried by the bloodstream, and so circulation has to increase for healing to happen.

Modalities that increase circulation include:

• Heat
• Cold
• Electrical stimulation
• Ultrasound

Kinesio Taping

Kinesio Taping is a powerful modality and a specialty of this practice since 2001. It can affect circulation, the neural receptors under the skin, muscle and fascia tension, tendon and ligament support, and even scar tissue. Applied intelligently, alongside manual treatment, muscle re-education, targeted exercise, postural correction, and movement retraining, it can go a long way toward quieting pain and giving you back your life.

Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization

IASTM is effective in treating acute and chronic conditions. Its objective is to break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions. It works by providing a controlled microtrauma to the affected soft tissue, which stimulates a local inflammatory response with increased blood flow and cellular activity.

StimPod Stimulation

StimPod delivers pulsed radio-frequency stimulation, a targeted way to calm irritated nerves and reduce pain without medication. We use it alongside manual therapy and exercise to treat:

• Nerve pain and pinched nerves
• Back pain and sciatica
• Neck pain
• Knee joint and hip pain
• Hamstring and calf strains
• Ankle and foot injuries
• Chronic pain, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), and Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD)
• Headaches and migraines
• Muscle spasms
• Disc bulges and disc herniations
