What is Kinesiotaping?
Kinesiotaping uses flexible therapeutic tape to support muscles and joints while still allowing normal movement. Unlike rigid athletic taping, kinesiology tape is designed to move with the body and provide gentle support without significantly restricting mobility.
At Oasis Massage, kinesiotaping is commonly used to help support recovery, reduce muscular strain, improve body awareness, and provide additional stability between treatment sessions.
