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.

Taping supports three recovery paths: sports injuries, post-surgery recovery, and lymphedema management.

Kinesio & lymphatic taping certified RMT.

Available as an Add-On

Two distinct methods

Kinesio taping vs. Lymphatic taping

Same elastic tape technology — applied differently depending on whether the goal is structural support or fluid movement.

Kinesio Taping
  • 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
Lymphatic Taping
  • 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
Clinical applications

What taping can help

Therapeutic taping has strong clinical support across musculoskeletal, post-surgical, and lymphatic conditions.

🏃
Sports & Overuse Injuries

IT band, patellar tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, rotator cuff strain, tennis elbow — kept active through treatment with functional taping.

💧
Post-Surgical Oedema

Joint replacement, soft-tissue surgery, mastectomy recovery — lymphatic tape worn between sessions accelerates fluid clearance and reduces tightness.

🌊
Lymphedema Management

Used alongside manual lymphatic drainage as part of complete decongestive therapy — particularly for upper and lower limb lymphedema.

🧍
Postural Correction

Scapular repositioning, forward head posture correction, and thoracic cuing tape — useful for desk workers and those retraining movement patterns.

🤰
Pregnancy & Postpartum

Belly support taping in later pregnancy; abdominal and pelvic taping postpartum to support diastasis recovery and reduce swelling.

🩹
Bruising & Contusions

Lymphatic fan tape over bruised tissue accelerates resorption of blood, visibly reducing discolouration and tenderness within 48–72 hours.
