Kinesiotaping Therapy in Tarlac
Kinesiotaping is a therapeutic technique that involves the application of specially designed elastic tapes to support muscles, joints, and soft tissues without restricting range of motion. At Tarlac Medical Center, our trained physiotherapists provide Kinesiotaping therapy as part of a comprehensive rehabilitation and musculoskeletal care program.
The therapy is widely used for pain management, injury prevention, and enhancing functional movement. By supporting weakened or injured muscles, Kinesiotaping can help accelerate recovery, reduce inflammation, and improve overall mobility.

How Kinesiotaping Works
- Reduce swelling and inflammation
- Improve blood and lymphatic circulation
- Support injured or weak muscles
- Enhance proprioception (body awareness)
- Relieve pain
Kinesiotape is applied along specific muscle groups or joints using precise techniques. The tape gently lifts the skin. Unlike traditional athletic tape, Kinesiotape allows full movement while providing therapeutic support, making it suitable for rehabilitation and daily activity enhancement.
Conditions Treated
- Muscle strains and sprains
- Joint instability
- Tendonitis and overuse injuries
- Post-surgical rehabilitation
- Back, neck, or shoulder pain
- Sports-related injuries
- Edema and lymphedema
Before application, a physiotherapist evaluates muscle function, posture, and movement patterns to ensure the tape provides maximum therapeutic benefit.
Procedure and Application
- Skin is cleaned and dried before tape application
- Tape is cut and applied to targeted muscles or joints
- Light movement may be done to confirm comfort and support
- Can remain on skin for 3–5 days
Kinesiotape may be worn during showers or light exercise. Patients should monitor for irritation and remove the tape if discomfort occurs.
Benefits of Kinesiotaping
- Non-invasive and drug-free
- Provides continuous support during activities
- Reduces pain and inflammation
- Enhances rehabilitation outcomes
- Improves joint alignment and muscle activation
- Can be combined with therapy and exercise programs
It is suitable for adults, athletes, and pediatric patients under professional supervision.
