Therapeutic Taping

Kinesio Taping® alleviates pain and facilitates lymphatic drainage by structurally lifting the skin. The taped portion forms convolutions in the skin, increasing the interstitial space, enabling pressure and irritation to be taken off the neural/sensory receptors. Then, pressure is slowly taken off the lymphatic system, allowing it to drain more freely. Kinesio Tape can be used for support of muscle weakness, by taping from origin to insertion, as well as for acute conditions such as sprains and strains. By applying the tape from insertion to origin, overused muscles relax and slack the muscle during contraction. Kinesio Tape is water resistant and comes in 1-inch, 2-inch, and 3-inch rolls. The tape can be left on for 3 to 4 days with no ill effects.

The Auto*Therm® 391 is Mettler Electronics' shortwave diathermy for the future. With either continuous or pulsed modes, therapists can provide the gentle warming effects of this modality to their patients.

The Auto*Therm 391 features a sturdy cart with an arm designed to precisely position the inductive drum on the patient's body. The cart also provides storage space for all of the other accessories that come with the Auto*Therm.
