Kinesiology Taping
Kinesiology and Athletic Taping
This is the brightly-coloured tape you will have seen adorning the bodies of elite athletes in so many different sports. Whether it is Premiership footballers, Wimbledon tennis stars or Olympic athletes,
strips of tape protecting injured joints will be on show.
What it does:
- relieves pain by supporting and compressing the affected area.
- supports muscle through movement.
- removes lymphatic congestion.
- supports weak muscles.
- helps improve proprioception (sense of joint position) and improves movement patterns, eg. helping the patella to track properly as the knee bends.
Kinesiology tape is very light and elastic. It is designed to have properties similar to our skin. Although widely used by sports people, it may help anyone suffering from muscular or joint pain. It provides support and encourages proper joint alignment and posture whilst allowing free movement. This tape is often effective at pain relief by unloading stressful forces from painful joints, muscles, ligaments or Tendons. Therefore, whether you are an athlete trying to return to your sport, or someone looking for a pain-free day, kinesiology tape may help.
Emyr Lloyd-Jones is very thorough and has a firm touch which gets to the root of the problem. He takes the time to ask for the symptoms and suggests ways to improve the issue. He is also very personable and makes the session as pleasant as possible.
I had not previously used an osteopath. Emyr was great at explaining what would happen and was very reassuring.
Brilliant knowledgable good calm manner explains everything well in a language you understand
Emyr has helped with a course of treatment on two separate occasions, once for my back and once for a shoulder issue. Excellent treatment, advice, explanations and a very reassuring bedside manner, Emyr is clearly highly experienced and knowledgeable and I would very much recommend him.
Fantastic trigger point acupuncture that keeps my headaches away. Much more effective that traditional acupuncture this was just what I needed and released so much tension in my back and neck. Emyr is a lovely Welshman puts you at ease from the off. 5 stars he has a huge reputation amongst my friends who also see him.
Emyr has always been able to pinpoint the problems I have had with my back and been able to manipulate it to allow the pain to go away and for me to be aligned again. He is a miracle worker!
