Kinesio Taping Method is a popular treatment for injured athletes to alleviate pain by microscopically lifting the skin. This treatment method involves taping over and around muscles to improve muscular function, decrease pain or abnormal skin sensations, improve lymphatic flow, and aid in proper alignment of joints. It also allows for full range of motion of the injured tissues while maintaining support.

- Any sprain/strain in the body

- Tennis/Golfer’s Elbow
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
