KinesioTaping Method or "KTM"

Kinesio Taping with Dr. Broosan


KinesioTaping Method or "KTM" is an advanced sports injury technique using specially designed kinesiotape applied in a specific way to promote joint healing. 

Developed in Japan 25 years ago, KTM made it's way to the U.S. over the last decade and has gained notoriety with athletes such as Lance Armstrong and David Beckham seen sporting the KTM tapes.

KTM is applied specific to each patient's needs and has the ability to re-educate the neuromuscular system, reduce pain and inflammation.  By releasing the tension off overused muscles, tendons and ligaments, the tape signals the brain to reduce the nerve output that triggers pain.

The elastic quality of the KTM tape allows the tissue under the application to move freely which promotes circulation of the blood and lymphatic fluid. This effect aids in the healing process.
 
Effective during the acute, chronic and rehabilitative phases of injury as well as for preventative measures, KTM can be used in conjunction with a multitude of other treatments and modalities such as Chiropractic adjustments, Acupuncture and/or Massage Therapy.
