Dr. Silverbush is a certified kinesio taping practitioner (CKTP). Common applications of k-tape at our clinic are to stabilize a sprained ankle, inhibit overused muscles or facilitate under-used muscles, minimize excessive motion of the knee cap (patella), support a shoulder after a dislocation injury, take pressure off inflamed areas, promote improved posture and reduce swelling post-injury or surgery. Benefits of k-taping include…


- Pain Relief: By providing support to injured or strained muscles, k-tape stimulates the immune response.
- Reduced Inflammation & Improved Circulation: By lifting the skin to create space between it and the underlying muscles.
- Swelling Reduction: The contact and directional pull of the tape helps promote lymphatic drainage, reducing edema.
- Muscle & Joint Support: K-tape supports weak or injured muscles, helping stabilize joints and improve movement.
- Athletic Performance: Support from the tape helps prevent fatigue, and enhances body awareness (proprioception).
