Spidertech Kinesiology
What to Expect
SpiderTech is a form of kinesiotaping which comes in pre-cut forms for different body areas. This technique helps with both soft tissue repairs and skeletal treatments.
Kinesiotaping is a different form of taping than you might see when someone wraps their ankles or wrists before a sporting event. It is very elastic and provides minimal stability to joints — the goal being to maintain motion and function. The tape then provides multiple benefits including increased lymphatic drainage (after acute injuries), decreased pain with increased mechanoreceptor activity (pressure/motion sensitive nerve activation which blocks pain nerve signals), and improved muscle function/performance (to prevent re-injury or aggravation).
Kinesiology taping can help with the following symptoms or problems:
- Muscle pain and soreness
- Joint pain and stiffness
- Sprains and strains
- Swelling and inflammation
- Poor posture
- Reduced range of motion
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Tennis elbow
- Plantar fasciitis
- Shin splints
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Whiplash
- Headaches and migraines
- Menstrual cramps
- Lymphedema
