Kinesio & Lymphatic Taping
in Canmore
Elastic therapeutic tape applied with clinical precision — to support injured joints, facilitate lymphatic drainage, reduce oedema, and extend the benefits of your massage session beyond the clinic. Two distinct methods, one highly trained RMT.
Kinesio taping vs. Lymphatic taping
Same elastic tape technology — applied differently depending on whether the goal is structural support or fluid movement.
- Lifts skin to reduce pressure on pain receptors and improve local circulation
- Facilitates or inhibits muscle activation depending on application angle and tension
- Supports joints through full ROM — wearable during sport and activity
- Extends the neuromuscular benefits of hands-on treatment between sessions
- Creates convolutions in the skin that open superficial lymphatic channels with every movement
- Reduces swelling continuously between manual lymphatic drainage sessions
- Helps manage post-surgical swelling, lymphedema, and bruising around joints
- Comfortable, discreet — worn under clothing with no compression garment required
What taping can help
Therapeutic taping has strong clinical support across musculoskeletal, post-surgical, and lymphatic conditions.
IT band, patellar tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, rotator cuff strain, tennis elbow — kept active through treatment with functional taping.
Joint replacement, soft-tissue surgery, mastectomy recovery — lymphatic tape worn between sessions accelerates fluid clearance and reduces tightness.
Used alongside manual lymphatic drainage as part of complete decongestive therapy — particularly for upper and lower limb lymphedema.
Scapular repositioning, forward head posture correction, and thoracic cuing tape — useful for desk workers and those retraining movement patterns.
Belly support taping in later pregnancy; abdominal and pelvic taping postpartum to support diastasis recovery and reduce swelling.
Lymphatic fan tape over bruised tissue accelerates resorption of blood, visibly reducing discolouration and tenderness within 48–72 hours.
Taping in practice
Two distinct applications from Lisa’s clinic — lymphatic taping for post-surgical swelling and Kinesio-Lymph combination work for joint recovery.
Brachial chording condition, post breast cancer surgery.
Multidirectional taping across the knee, addressing post-knee surgery swelling.
Each application provides sustained therapeutic benefit between clinic visits.
Kinesio and lymphatic — applied based on your clinical need.
No medication, no compression garments required for most cases.
Water-resistant adhesive — keep your normal activities going.
