Dr. Meng Xiong integrates Kinesio Tape into personalized treatment plans for patients of all activity levels—from athletes to office workers—offering a drug-free, non-invasive tool to help your body heal.
What Is Kinesio Taping?
Kinesio Taping is a therapeutic technique using a specially designed elastic tape that mimics the skin’s elasticity. Applied strategically over muscles, joints, or fascia, the tape gently lifts the skin to:
- Improve circulation and lymphatic drainage
- Reduce swelling and inflammation
- Support injured or fatigued muscles
- Correct movement patterns and posture
- Provide joint stabilization without restricting motion
Unlike rigid athletic tape, Kinesio Tape allows for a full range of motion, making it ideal for injury recovery, prevention, and ongoing support.
