How specialized kinesiotaping can help with pregnancy aches and pains
When it comes to unexpected ways to relieve pregnancy and post-pregnancy aches and pains naturally, not many people are going to think of that brightly coloured athletic tape beloved by sportspeople worldwide...but they should!
Sport tape - or, to use it's formal name, kinesio tape - can be safely used during pregnancy to help with a wide range of common conditions, including:
-
Pelvic joint pain
-
Low back pain
-
SI joint pain
-
Swollen hands or feet
-
Diastasis recti
-
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
-
Posture issues
The tape works by lifting the surface of the skin slightly, allowing for improved blood and fluid flow, as well as providing support and a different neurological input via your body's nervous system, which can be used to help you maintain a better posture, reduce swelling and turn down the volume on aches and pains.
For a simple bit of sticky tape, it's incredibly versatile! It can be worn for long periods, and doesn't get hot or sticky like traditional splints or compression bandages.
The specialised tape that we use comes in a range of bright colours if you want to jazz it up, but it's also available in skin tone colours if you're a little more discreet!
Taping during pregnancy might just be the pain relief you've been looking for!
What Clients Have To Say About Bump
Tianna Says:
Robyn was so amazing. Very knowledgable and skilled. All the equipment/ pillows needed for a relaxing massage. My body felt so refreshed after. Bonus that she's also super kind and makes you feel very comfortable.
Khushboo Says:
All I need to do is to just tell her my pain point and she takes care of the rest.
I have gone to her in the most vulnerable phase of my pregnancy, where before visiting her, I would be practically immobile without a support person and after getting the therapy, I get back on my feet and the pain literally disappears in a day after getting the massage done.
Janet Says:
Wow, I loved, loved my massage with Robyn! Robyn has an immediate warmth that made me feel instantly comfortable and relaxed. Being 35 weeks pregnant, I really appreciated her knowledge and care towards my requests. I can't wait to visit again.
