Dr. Hauser at De Pere Chiropractic Center is Certified in Functional Movement Taping (FMT). This is a specific form of kinesiology taping that focuses on movement taping versus muscle taping. We use only Rock Tape Brand Kinesiology tape because if its superior function and quality. Many patients have seen tape on elite athletes but ask how does it work? Here is a brief response to that question from Dr. Hauser:
“Kinesiology taping, in general, can assist the body’s natural healing mechanisms. By applying tape to specific motion patterns, we can use the largest organ, the skin, to tap into the human nervous system. The skin has more than 500 nerve cells per square centimeter and taping allows us to provide input to that system. Using Kinesiology tape, we can gently lift the skin away from the underlying fascia. Kinesiology tape has elastic recoil which causes this lifting effect and creates what is known as partial pressure differentials. While this may sound confusing to some, the benefit is tough to deny.”
