What Is Kinesio Taping?

Kinesio Taping is a therapeutic technique that uses a specialized elastic tape to support muscles, joints, and ligaments while allowing full range of motion. At Levan Physical Therapy, we apply Kinesio Tape to enhance circulation, reduce pain, and provide structural support to targeted areas — all without restricting mobility.

Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or aiming to prevent strain during physical activity, Kinesio Taping can be an effective part of your rehab and wellness plan.
