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.

Preparing for Surgery? Try Pre-hab to Speed up Your Recovery Process.
Getting ready for surgery? Understand that rehabilitation after surgery is key for a speedy recovery. It returns your movement and helps you stand on your feet again. Interestingly, rehabilitation before surgery, known as pre-hab, can also make your post-surgery recovery faster and even enhance the outcome of your surgery. Pre-hab means working with a physical therapist to prepare your body for surgery. Post-surgery, rehab takes over the healing process.
For a swift return to your daily life after surgery, consider Stript Physical Therapy in Freehold, NJ. Our dedicated team designs a personalized treatment plan to expedite your recovery and prepare you for your upcoming surgery.
Understanding Pre-hab vs. Rehab
Pre-hab: Participating in a pre-hab program with a physical therapist helps you get a head start on recovery and ensures a more successful surgery. Your therapist will prescribe exercises and therapeutic modalities to reduce inflammation and increase strength, giving your body an advantage as it heals from surgery. Even a few sessions can improve your overall health, so you have more strength to draw on post-surgery. Pre-hab prevents extreme weakness after surgery by building up your strength in advance.
Rehab: While pre-hab prepares your body for surgery, rehab focuses on strengthening your body afterward. Post-surgery pain and discomfort are natural, and certain motions may be challenging. However, it’s crucial to maintain movement to regain your range of motion and ensure a full recovery. Rehab helps you move safely, prevent reinjury, fight inflammation, and keep painful adhesions from forming. It also builds strength to help you quickly return to your routine.
What Results Can You Expect from Pre-hab?
Pre-hab dramatically helps people about to have surgery. Research from the Arthritis Foundation found that patients doing pre-hab recovered better after surgery and could leave the hospital sooner. Knee replacement patients who did pre-hab could walk and climb stairs well enough to be discharged from the hospital faster than those who skipped pre-hab.
