What Is Kinesiotaping and McConnell Taping Therapy?
Kinesio Tape (KT), or kinesiology tape, is a newly popularized modality that is used by therapists trained in the Kinesio Taping Method by Certified Kinesio Taping Instructors (CKTI).
Kinesio Tape is a latex-free hypoallergenic cotton fiber tape with an acrylic heat-activated backing that stretches only along its longitudinal axis.
The McConnell Taping Method is a technique that tapes body parts to affect a specific biomechanical movement.
Benefits of Kinesiotaping and McConnell Taping:
It is more economical over time than other modalities, it is easy to learn and apply, there are less types of tape, and it may be used over a longer period of time. The Kinesio Taping Method differs from athletic strapping tape and the traditional McConnell Taping Method.
The McConnell Taping Method is a technique that tapes body parts to affect a specific biomechanical movement.
McConnell Tape uses a very rigid, highly adhesive tape that is applied for no more than 18 hours and often for shorter periods of time due to patient discomfort.

Reviews
What Our Clients Say
I chose this place after reading some of these great reviews. Needed some help with my upper back after an accident. The initial consultation was extremely thorough and they got a full picture of my situation and any limitations or existing issues I have. All of the staff from front desk to assistants to therapsids are all very friendly and knowledgeable. It seems like it’s one, big family. Each visit I may be with someone different, but they all know my needs and are aware of my progress for the prior session. It’s a very relaxed, wide open space with everything you’d need to help recover from whatever you’re there for. Never too crowded and never a time where there is not enough equipment. Also never really and issue getting the dates/times I need for each appointment. I’ve been able to move them around with relative ease as-needed based on my busy schedule…so that accommodation goes a long way. Overall very pleased with their approach and how things have progressed for me over the past few weeks so far. Would highly recommend to anyone needing a little PT.
