Kinesiology Taping in Norwich
Kinesiology taping uses elastic therapeutic tape applied to the skin to support muscles, joints, and tendons without restricting movement. It’s widely used in MSK physiotherapy for managing pain, reducing inflammation, and improving performance during rehabilitation.
What to expect
During your physiotherapy session, Ellie will assess whether kinesiology tape is appropriate for your condition. If recommended, she applies the tape to specific areas to target the source of your discomfort. The tape is lightweight, breathable, and typically stays in place for up to 3 days, offering continuous support during daily activities.
