If you’re dealing with a sports injury, muscle strain, or joint pain, Beyond Physiotherapy offers an effective, evidence-based solution to help you recover faster — Kinesio Taping and RockTape.
Available at our Surrey (Newton, Fleetwood, South Surrey), Langley, White Rock, and Abbotsford clinics, these taping techniques are used by our physiotherapists as part of your comprehensive rehabilitation program to relieve pain, enhance performance, and restore full mobility.
What Is Kinesio Taping?
Kinesio Taping (or kinesiology taping) is a rehabilitative technique that uses specialized elastic tape to support muscles, joints, and soft tissues — all while allowing natural movement.
Unlike rigid athletic tape, Kinesio Tape does not restrict motion. Instead, it gently lifts the skin to reduce pressure, improve blood and lymphatic circulation, and enhance the body’s natural healing response.
Our physiotherapists often integrate Kinesio Taping into your treatment plan to:
- Decrease pain and inflammation
- Improve muscle activation and joint stability
- Reduce swelling and promote circulation
- Support recovery from injury or overuse
- Prevent re-injury during physical activity
- Key Benefits of Kinesio Taping
Pain relief:
The tape’s lifting effect reduces pressure on pain receptors, helping to block pain signals and allowing the muscles to relax.
Swelling control:
By improving lymphatic drainage, Kinesio Tape helps reduce fluid buildup from inflammation, surgery, or repetitive strain.
Scar tissue mobility:
It assists in restoring movement and flexibility in areas affected by surgical or traumatic scarring.
Joint stabilization:
The tape supports the natural alignment of joints while maintaining mobility — ideal for sprains, tendinopathies, or muscle imbalances.
RockTape for Athletic Performance and Recovery
RockTape is a premium form of kinesiology tape designed specifically for athletes and active individuals. It provides superior elasticity and durability, making it effective for both injury recovery and performance enhancement.
Our physiotherapists use RockTape to help improve:
- Muscle power and endurance
- Balance and proprioception
- Jumping, sprinting, and agility
- Postural awareness and joint support
- RockTape is used at Beyond Physiotherapy to manage conditions such as:
- Ankle and knee sprains
- Rotator cuff or shoulder pain
- Hamstring and calf strains
- Tendon overuse injuries
- Back and neck pain
It’s also valuable in managing pain and improving function for non-sports injuries or chronic conditions.
Integrated Part of Your Physiotherapy Treatment
At Beyond Physiotherapy, Kinesio Taping and RockTape are included as part of your physiotherapy session — not a separate service or add-on.
Our physiotherapists assess your movement, identify areas that require support or decompression, and apply taping techniques tailored to your goals. These methods are combined with manual therapy, mobility work, and strengthening exercises for the most effective results.
If you’re recovering under an ICBC or WorkSafeBC claim, your Kinesio Taping or RockTape treatments are already part of your covered physiotherapy plan. Our clinics provide direct billing, so you can focus entirely on your recovery.
