All of our sites have PT’s that are professionally trained in the therapeutic application of both these types of taping. It is common for them to be used with shoulder, forearm, neck, back, hip, thigh, knee, and ankle problems. Depending on the situation and the method of application, they can be utilized for supporting/protecting, inhibiting muscle function, stimulating muscle function, or improving circulation. In many situations, the PT will teach the patient how to apply the tape to themselves.
