What are the benefits of Kinesio taping?
Reducing inflammation
Injuries, surgeries, or just using a body part too much can cause it to swell. Kinesio tape reduces this swelling by easing the tightness between your skin and the tissue below, letting fluids move better and helping you move the swollen part more easily.
Strengthening joint stability
Certain conditions can make joints unstable. Taping helps secure and support them, yet permits their normal movement.
Scar Tissue Management
Kinesio taping is often used following injuries, surgeries, or traumas. It helps stretch out the thick scar tissue that may develop, allowing better movement signals and improving your mobility.
Relieving pain
Kinesio taping effectively eases pain by halting pain signals to the brain, promoting muscle relaxation. This leads to enhanced movement, faster recovery, and a smoother treatment experience.

How exactly does Kinesio Tape work?
Kinesio tape boosts your body's healing by improving the communication between your skin and what lies beneath, like muscles and tendons. This strengthens muscles and enhances movement. It also stops pain signals from reaching your brain, which eases muscle tightness and reduces spasm risks. With less pain, your affected area can move more freely thanks to better blood flow.
What will I get out of Kinesio taping?
At Stride Physical Therapy, our therapists customize your treatment with exercises and techniques suited just for you. We include Kinesio taping to enhance movement and support your muscles, joints, and tendons. Expect our therapist to carefully apply tape to the specific regions of your body that need relief from discomfort or stiffness. Interested in how Kinesio taping can help you?

5 Activities To Improve Your Health
Living with constant pain can make the thought of exercise seem impossible. But the reality is, adding even gentle physical activity to your daily routine can significantly enhance your well-being, ease of movement, and general happiness. Read on to discover the benefits of staying active for a healthier, more comfortable life!
The Importance of Good Health
Being healthy is all about your body working at its best, from breathing to blood flow to digesting food. You don't need to be a top athlete - every little thing you do for your body counts toward better health. At Stride Physical Therapy, your physical therapist can guide you with exercises, stretches, and diet tips to boost your health and fitness level.
Physical Therapy Can Improve Your Overall Health Naturally!
Whether on your own or within a full physical therapy program, diverse activities can aid recovery and pain management. Our physical therapist can craft a personalized exercise plan matching your recovery goals if you're healing from injury, uncertain about what exercises suit you, or struggling with chronic pain.
Our expert will evaluate your health condition and goals to recommend the ideal exercises. Combining this with therapeutic techniques like massage, ultrasound, dry needling, hot and cold treatments, acupuncture, or laser therapy can amplify your healing. They work by repairing tissues, soothing inflammation, and alleviating pain, thus enhancing movement and quality of life.
5 Activities to Enhance Your Health
Cycling
Cycling enhances heart health, balance, and leg strength. It’s also lower-impact than running, making it suitable for those with back or knee issues.
Swimming
Swimming reduces the effects of gravity on the body, making it ideal for individuals with arthritis or extremity injuries. Even non-swimmers can benefit from water activities.
Running
Running improves heart and lung health and can reduce pain sensitivity. The "runner's high" offers pain-reducing benefits for chronic pain sufferers.
Weight Training
Weight training builds muscle tissue that supports joints and helps maintain bone density, reducing muscle wastage as you age.
Walking
Walking requires no special equipment and offers low-impact exercise. It improves circulation and benefits weight-bearing joints, especially for those with arthritis.
Additional Tips for Maintaining Good Health
Living healthily requires work, but it gets easier. It's important to eat well, and although exercise may be tough if you have chronic pain, it's key. Opt for physical therapy over medication to tackle pain and lead a healthier life.
