Kinesiology taping is a therapeutic technique designed to support your body’s natural recovery process without limiting mobility. At MP Musculus in Ilkeston, we use Kinesio taping to relieve pain, improve movement, and enhance muscle function — ideal for injury rehabilitation, sports performance, and everyday pain relief.
Developed in the 1970s by Dr. Kenzo Kase, Kinesiology taping works by applying a specially designed elastic tape to the skin. Unlike rigid sports tape, KT tape mimics the elasticity of human skin, allowing unrestricted movement while providing targeted support.
It works through several key mechanisms:
Circulatory Support: Promotes drainage of fluid and swelling after injury or exercise.
Kinesiology taping offers a range of benefits for both athletes and those managing everyday pain:
When used alongside sports massage and rehabilitation exercises, kinesiology taping helps improve performance and recovery outcomes.
At MP Musculus, we apply kinesiology taping as part of a complete treatment plan to enhance recovery and support mobility. It’s especially beneficial for:
Our approach ensures each application is tailored to your needs – whether for recovery, posture correction, or performance enhancement.
Visited mark for first time last week and it was nothing sort of magic !! Been struggling with posture and form during workouts in my upper back and neck and after one session the difference was instantly noticeable. Can’t thank him enough. Would highly recommend 👍🏼
I went to Mark for the first time today with some back pain and will definitely be returning. Mark is a really knowledgable and professional masseuse. He put me at ease and left me feeling a lot better than I did when I walked in! He made me feel super comfortable and did a brilliant job at meeting my needs and making it a pleasant experience! Highly recommend.
Thanks Mark 😊
I had a first class treatment from Mark.
He immediately put me at ease and described the treatment process really well. I feel excellent after and he really helped my tight back and shoulders. I would not hesitate to recommend Mark enough at Musculus for a sports massage.
Mark is amazing at what he does. His sports massage has really helped my niggles, and he has fixed me back together on more than one occasion to allow me to train hard and continue to race. Definitely recommend 100%
