Kinesio taping has emerged as a revolutionary method in the realm of pain management and injury recovery.

Our highly trained physical therapists at HELIX Performance Physical Therapy are ready to guide you through the transformative benefits of Kinesio taping. Call us today at (925) 222-5101 to take the first step towards a pain-free, active life.

Unlocking the Power of Kinesio Tape

While wrapping injured areas with tape isn’t a novel concept, Kinesio tape distinguishes itself with its unique properties. Specially designed to respond to body heat, this elastic therapeutic tape provides continuous support, allowing for unrestricted movement. Unlike traditional bandages, Kinesio tape is a one-time use solution that stays firmly in place throughout the day. The acrylic adhesive is activated by body heat ensuring immediate therapeutic benefits, while the cotton fibers wick away moisture, making it a durable and effective option for various conditions.

Whether you’re a dedicated runner, someone dealing with chronic back pain from prolonged desk work, or a pregnant woman seeking relief during the third trimester, Kinesio taping could be the solution you’ve been searching for. Our trained physical therapists frequently use this technique to address conditions such as back sprains, neck aches, shoulder injuries, knee pain, and sports-related injuries.

At the core of Kinesio tape’s effectiveness lies the science of kinesiology. By enhancing blood circulation to targeted areas, the tape reduces pain and accelerates recovery. The gentle pulling action supports joints and muscles, promoting improved circulation and lessening swelling. Furthermore, evidence suggests that Kinesio tape can aid in correcting misaligned muscles and ligaments. However, strategic application is crucial, requiring the expertise of a trained physical therapist to ensure optimal results.

Can’t say enough about Wes

I hurt my leg training for a marathon and after working with him a few months, my leg feels GREAT! I just got home from a trip to Europe that I was a little worried about. I felt 100% the 2nd or 3rd day in Paris - maybe it was the 12-13 miles we were walking every day, maybe it was the French bread/wine, maybe it was both. Since i've been back, i've been riding my (indoor) bike too, just trying to get my leg stronger (still going to the gym, still doing my exercises).

THANK YOU for all of your efforts, your knowledge, your patience. I couldn't have done it without your guidance. And it is 100000% appreciated.

Skilled and very engaging

I found Wes while he was at Diablo PT via Yelp when I needed help with severe sciatic pain. I was able to schedule sessions with Wes and was amazed at his knowledge, skill and very engaging personality.

At no time did I ever feel that I was getting a "cookie cutter" problem. He listens very well and works with you as an individual to provide exactly what you need.

I can't say enough good things about Wes and how much he helped me fully recover and get even better than I was before my injury.

I feel better each time I leave

Wes Anderson is one of the best physical therapist I have ever had. He is professional, bright, explains everything he is doing to strengthen my body, and I feel better each time I leave. He does not just give you a massage. He is breaking down tight muscles and gives me more flexibility and movement.

No matter what your issue is, you will get the best of care

I highly recommend Wes in Danville. Before going to Wes I had gone to several other places. Wes is, hands down, the one of the best. I saw him at his old clinic in Danville Diablo Physical Therapy. No matter what your issue is, you will get the best of care.

Super detail oriented

Wes is awesome. Very knowledgeable and supportive.

Super detail oriented, reviewed my surgery notes and stick with me through each rep to make sure I'm doing it right. Hands down the best PT experience l've ever had.

Makes the process a vastly easier therapy

Wes puts a lot of attention into the process, and keeps you involved with his great sense of humor. Though the exercises can be arduous, he makes the process a vastly easier therapy.
