Pet Kinesiology Taping at Alton Animal Clinic
Kinesiology taping is a rehabilitative technique designed to facilitate the body’s natural healing process.
What Is Kinesiology Taping?
Kinesiology taping is a rehabilitative technique that facilitates the body’s natural healing process by providing extended soft tissue manipulation. Kinesiology taping mimics the effects of massage while providing support for muscles and joints without restricting your pet’s range of motion.
How Will This Benefit My Pet?
Kinesiotaping provides support during movement, improves circulation and lymphatic flow, reduces pain, inflammation, and tension, relaxes muscles, releases fascia, and improves joint function. These all result in faster and more complete healing, leading to improved movement and positioning.
Kinesiology taping can be used in conjunction with cryotherapy, hydrotherapy, acupuncture, myofascial dry needling, and during therapeutic exercises.
