At Nat Broad Physiotherapy we are experienced in using a range of taping techniques. We have additional qualifications in Kinesiology taping (KTape) and Athletic sports taping and strapping.

KTape as seen worn by top athletes, can:
– Treat sports injuries
– Support muscles and joints
– Prevent injuries and fatigue
– Enhance performance
– For postural control
– Reduce pain

We are certified in Rock tape (a leading band of K-Tape) fascial movement taping as well as being an official reseller for their products, which are available in clinic. Rocktape can have mechanical and neurological effects and it a proper adjunct in clinic.
Athletic taping tends to rigid and bind whilst KTape incorporates a retractable stretch that mimics skin. KTape can be worn during everyday life and left on for a few days. All information and an allergy test will be given prior to application.

Athletic taping

sports taping is often used to support weak or injured joints and acts to hold or reduce joint movement. This type of taping is used more prevalently by athletes, most frequently on ankles, knees and shoulders. Often, we will use under wrap as a buffer between the skin and tape. Depending on the area/ situation requiring taping, we sometimes use a cohesive bandage.
