Myofascial taping

taping 2Myo = Muscle  Fascia = Connective tissue that surrounds muscles, blood vessels and nerves etc, binding some structures together while permitting others to slide smoothly over each other.

Many people will have noticed it’s gaining popularity with athletes across the sporting disciplines in recent years; eye-catching flashes of jazzy coloured tape.

Taping has been around for ages of course but the taping techniques being employed are more than just a style statement – they are proving to be highly effective for pain relief and injury prevention, as well as in the treatment of injuries.  Research is showing that myofascial taping has some performance enhancing properties too. Unlike old fashioned sports taping, modern taping techniques facilitate rather than restrict movement.

Testimonials

    • OSTEOPATHY – “I couldn’t believe after my first appointment that I would feel such a relief and then at how quickly my body changed following from just a few more visits. I am so pleased I came along, as I was anxious that I would always have a problem with my neck.”

      Mrs C.A., Stamford

    • OSTEOPATHY – “A recommendation from a friend encouraged me to try The Broad Street Practice after experiencing several months of pain and discomfort from the sciatic nerve. I had visited other practices over the months, which didn’t work for me, but now thanks to The Broad Street Practice I am pain free. Although I needed a few sessions to get there, I cannot fault the treatment, everything was explained fully from the outset and I really felt everything was being done and more. I am so pleased with the results. Thank you.”
