How kinesiology taping works at Norfolk PT
Kinesiology tape is a thin, stretchy tape that moves with your skin. Applied with specific tension and direction, it can provide light support, reduce the feeling of strain, give your body feedback about posture and position, and help manage swelling and bruising. Rigid athletic taping, by contrast, limits motion to protect a joint during sport.
Taping isn't a fix on its own — it's a tool that helps you stay active while the rest of your plan does the heavy lifting. We'll show you or a family member how to apply it so you can keep using it between visits.
What to expect
- Taping matched to your injury and activity
- Instruction so you can re-apply it at home

Kinesiology Taping: common questions
How long can kinesiology tape stay on?
Usually two to five days, including through showers and workouts. Remove it sooner if your skin itches, burns, or turns red.
Does taping actually work?
Taping can reduce pain and help people move more comfortably for some conditions, but it works best alongside exercise and treatment — not as a stand-alone fix.
Can you tape me before a game?
Yes. We can tape for competition and teach athletes, parents, or coaches how to apply it correctly.
