Curious about kinesiology taping? Can sports taping help with injury?
The brightly coloured tape sometimes seen on athletes or sports people is kinesiology tape, sometimes known as sports tape. But can kinesiology tape really help with injuries - or is it just a colourful waste of time and money?
At State 11 Soft Tissue Therapy in Spalding, we're trained in kinesiology taping for injury.
Kinesiology taping is often seen in athletics but can provide support and pain relief for anyone with an injury.
It works by lifting the skin - and the tissues underneath - fractionally, allowing for inflammation whilst also providing a different neurological input to the brain about the painful area.
If all that sounds a bit technical, in short it means that the joint or muscle that hurts feels less painful and more supported, so that you can move more freely.
Many people can use tape instead of bulky knee, ankle or wrist braces that often feel uncomfortable and restrict movements to such an extent that muscle wastage can occur.
Kinesiology taping is easy to do and at State 11, we believe in helping our clients become self-sufficient in managing their own health.
So, should you have a long term condition that taping helps with, we'll show you how to use tape at home so that you don't need to see us as much!
What our clients think of their treatment at State 11 Soft Tissue Therapy:
I'd like to thank Greg for an outstanding service, yes it hurt like hell at the time but after two weeks of putting up with back and shoulder pain hoping it will sort it's self out, I've woken today pain free. To say he's good at his job is an understatement. If the need arises I will definitely be back. Thank you.

Greg manages to be both extremely friendly and professional. The session itself was neither a relaxing or pain free experience, but I feel so much better for it and I have normal movement in my neck again. If you’re thinking about it, just book!
Emma
I would definitely recommend Greg at State 11 to anyone suffering pain and loss of movement. I visited him, after being recommended by a friend and I’m so glad I did. He was able to work on my shoulder and give me movement in it I hadn’t had for months and that was after only one appointment. Thank you Greg!
Michelle
Absolutely fantastic. I can actually move my neck again. Did not realise how much pain I was in until I left after treatment and actually started to feel better. Really lovely guy with a great attitude and not there to make you do a series of unnecessary treatments. Thoroughly recommend.
