The May, 2011, issue of Dynamic Chiropractic's Practice Insights publication featured a story on "therapeutic taping." Written by Tracy Barnes, DC, DICCP, CKTI, the article appeared in the "Equip Your Clinic" section of the magazine. In addition to information and anecdotes from her own experience, Dr. Barnes referenced comments from other CKTIs and CKTPs.
Ron Frers is a licensed massage therapist and certified Kinesio Taping practitioner (CKTP) who works in a chiropractic setting. “The patients like it,” he noted. “They show improvement almost immediately. Especially with acute patients, pain is reduced and a sense of security comes to the taped area. Kinesio Taping fits easily into a chiropractic practice. It can be applied post massage, or at any time during the treatment protocol.”
"I tell patients that the tape is like a phone call to your brain," Dr. Barnes pointed out. "Even when we forget the tape is there, as we move, it continues to call the nervous system and give it messages to restore function in an area."
