Does Kinesio Taping work? Dr. Megann Schooley, board-certified clinical specialist in sports physical therapy and certified strength and conditioning specialist, explains it this way: All of your tissues skin, connective tissue, fascia, muscles contain sensory receptors that feel pain, temperature, and touch. Those receptors all contribute to proprioceptionyour brain’s sense of where your body is and what it’s doing. Kinesiology taping creates a lift that unloads the u...nderlying tissues. Decompressing those tissues can change the signals going to the brain. When the brain receives a different signal, it’s going to respond differently, Schooley says. Trigger points are a good example. Physical therapists have used kinesiology tape to lift the skin over these tense, knotted muscles. When the area is decompressed, pain receptors send a new signal to the brain, and tension in the trigger point decreases. A 2015 study showed that trigger point pain was reduced and flexibility increased for people when kinesiology tape and manual pressure were used together.

"I first went for PT at Lanier Therapy in Motion for lower back pain years ago. I had been referred to a pain medicine medical doctor who told me he was referring me to the best spine man in the area. He was talking about Warner Brock at Lanier Therapy in Motion who fixed my back! Now I am going to PT post-surgery on my heel and Achilles’ tendon. The PTs and techs at Lanier Therapy in Motion are the BEST. My foot is so much better after working with them. They are professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate in their care. I highly recommend them for all your physical therapy needs." - Susan T.

Ultrasound/Phonophoresis This form of therapy is often used in the treatment of inflamed muscle, tendon, ligament, or other soft tissue in the body. This anti-inflammatory treatment uses ultrasound that produces high-frequency sound waves which give a gentle soothing heat to the inflamed area. This heat helps enlarge the blood vessels which in turn allows oxygen-rich blood to flow to the injured area quicker, thus resulting in faster healing time.

Happy Mother's Day!
