Sports Taping/Kinesiology Taping

Athletic sports and kinesio taping has been part of Dr. Mike's arsenal since he entered into sports medicine almost a decade ago. As an athletic trainer treating athletes, taping was widely used as an adjunct to therapeutic modalities and sports rehabilitation exercise. Kinesio tape can be applied for neuromuscular facilitation and lymphatic drainage. This type of taping can be used in patients experiencing shoulder impingement or trochanteric bursitis (hip). Athletic tape is primarily used to limit range motion and provide support (sprained ankle, wrist pain, or knee sprain)
