I have just completed a Kinesio taping course also known as K Tape you may have seen athletes on television with bright coloured tape on. Its a flexible but supportive tape that moves and works with the body to relieve pain and swelling.
I have to say having had first hand experience of it I am a fan. Many of my regular clients will know I fell through the attic ceiling well part of me did any way for the past 10 weeks I have had low grade neck pain. The tape was put on during training I had it on for 3 days and the pain has gone and I did two full days at work and expected it to creep back - nothing yet and that was 5 days ago now.
I have already taped many of my clients so I look forward to feed back and I will bring you more news about taping as I am attending a further course at the end of September. K taping isnt just for sports people it can help in a wide range of problems so call and have a chat with me.
Towards the end of last year I also trained in Bellabaci cupping and bamboo massage and use these new modes in much of my sports massage. I am really liking the results and so are my clients.
