Kinesio Tape or Rock Tape, is a lightweight, stretchable tape that is has been shown to facilitate or inhibit muscles, decrease swelling, or provide support to a specific area of the body. The special tape is able to effect the tissues without feeling restrictive like traditional athletic tape. Instead of a quick fix like other athletic tapes, Kinesio Tape gives support and healing that helps the blood flow and range of motion.

With hundreds of applications for different purposes, the tape is most effective when applied appropriately by an experienced provider. Dr. Alyx Brown is a certified Kinesio Tape Practitioner (CKTP) with additional training on proper use and application.  She earned this certification through specific training of Kinesio Taping methods. The tape is Latex-free and safe to use on most people for days at a time.
