"TAPE IT LIKE" BECKHAM! New Therapeutic Treatment Used by Pro Athletes Available at SSRI

If you're an athlete who suffers from headaches, lower back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome or anything in between, a treatment that compromises full range of motion is simply not a viable solution as it is not condusive to the demands of an active lifestyle. Unfortunately however, its a very neccessary evil to most who have not been made aware of the seemingly miraculous effects bright colored strips of tape seen in odd patterns on professional athletes can have. Enter KINESIO TAPING!

Kinesiology (the Science of Motion) or Kinesio Taping was invented by a Japanese Doctor of Chiropractic in the late 1990's.  Kinesio Taping helps the body heal naturally, can be used preventatively, as treatment, in rehab, or during competition.

The Kinesio Taping Method is applied over muscles to reduce pain and inflammation, relax overused tired muscles, and to support muscles in movement on a 24hr/day basis. It is a non-restrictive type of taping which allows for full range of motion.

Kinesiology Tape can help take the pressure off overused muscles.  It gives support and stability to your joints and muscles without affecting circulation and range of motion.  It is also used for preventive maintenance, edema and pain management.

David Beckham was introduced to Kinesio by Real Madrid's physios and wore the tape to devastating effect in their last game against Deportivo La Coruna where he set up two goals. 

Other athletes like 7 time Tour de France champ and cancer survivor Lance Armstrong, NBA star Kevin Garnet, Olympic Volleyball Gold Medalist Kerri Walsh and Professional Tennis Player Serena Williams are all users and advocates of the highly affective and wondrous new treatment which has taken the world of sports medicine by storm.

Spine and Sport Rehab Institute has two South Florida locations (Plantation and Port St. Lucie) and is by far one of the most technologically advanced facilities of its kind in the world and is in fact one of the few in South Florida certified and experienced in the practice of Kinesiology.
