Kinesiotaping in Brick, NJ
What Is Kinesiotaping?
Kinesiology tape is a thin, elastic therapeutic tape applied directly to the skin along specific muscle groups and joints. Unlike rigid athletic tape that limits movement, kinesio tape moves with you. It gently lifts the skin, reduces pressure on pain receptors, and supports the body’s natural recovery process. Our providers are trained in proper taping technique — placement matters, and a poorly applied strip won’t do much. We assess your movement patterns and apply the tape to reinforce the work done in your session.What We Use Kinesiotaping For

Frequently Asked Question
Kinesiology tape supports injured or overworked muscles and joints without restricting your range of motion. It's commonly used for shoulder, knee, ankle, and lower back injuries, as well as swelling and post-surgical or post-injury recovery.
Kinesio tape isn't a stand-alone treatment — it works best combined with chiropractic adjustments or occupational therapy. It supports the muscle, reduces pressure on pain receptors, and can extend the benefits of your in-office session between visits.
Most kinesiology tape stays in place for 3–5 days and is waterproof, so you can shower and stay active without it peeling off.
We recommend wearing it for 3–5 days at a time. If you notice skin irritation or the tape loses its adhesion, it's time to remove and reapply.
