Kinesio (Neuro-muscular) Taping for Acute & Chronic Sports Injuries & Muscular Pain.
Kinesio or neuro-muscular taping is a method of sports taping that has become an integral part of therapy for sports injury. Extensively used across Asia and the United States of America and now introduced to Europe, on many professional sports people and athletes ranging from David Beckham, Andy Murray, Serena Williams to name but a few.

This unique method of taping is fundamentally different from other methods of taping techniques. This new method gives muscles support, even during the most intense activity, without compromising circulation or range movement. The key feature is to allow the athlete and individual to continue their training and sporting activities despite injury.

This technique can also be used to relieve pain and swelling. For the best results using this unique taping method is for it to be combined after a session and/or Chinese massage to help lengthen the effective, therapeutic results!
