What Is Kinesio Taping?
Kinesio taping is a therapeutic technique that uses a special elastic tape to support and stabilize muscles and joints without restricting movement. At Tri Physical Therapy in Phoenix, AZ, our team utilizes Kinesio taping as a versatile tool within our comprehensive treatment plans to aid in the recovery of a wide range of conditions. From reducing inflammation and relieving pain to enhancing athletic performance and supporting injured tissues during healing, Kinesio taping offers patients in Biltmore, Arcadia, and the surrounding Phoenix area a noninvasive option for achieving their health and wellness goals. Our therapists are skilled at applying the tape in specific patterns tailored to each patient's needs, ensuring optimal support and facilitating the body's natural healing process.
What Should I Expect with Kinesio Taping?
When you arrive at our facility, we will begin your treatment journey with Kinesio taping by carefully assessing your needs and identifying the areas requiring support. Kinesio taping gently lifts the skin from the underlying muscles and tissues, creating a slight space that optimizes the body's natural healing abilities. This elevation improves circulation, reduces swelling and inflammation, and promotes efficient lymphatic drainage. The tape's unique design offers stable support to muscles and joints without restricting their movement, allowing you to continue engaging in daily activities or sports with added protection. Its elasticity is designed to mimic that of human skin, ensuring a comfortable, secure fit that can be maintained for days at a time, providing ongoing therapeutic effects. At Tri Physical Therapy, we tailor the Kinesio taping technique to meet your individual recovery goals, enhancing the overall effectiveness of your treatment plan.

Tri Physical Therapy Reviews
I came to Tri Physical Therapy with some pretty intense plantar Fasciitis. The therapy, needling, cupping, strength training and massage has literally been life changing. I don’t have the intense pain and I couldn’t be more pleased. The entire staff at Tri Physical Therapy is amazing!
Been going here for 6 weeks and it’s been a great experience! Been doing PT as well as the massages and have been feeling amazing! Every one is super kind, friendly, and knowledgeable! I highly recommend.
I had full ankle replacement surgery at the end of 12/2024 - found TRI PT in February of this year after looking for medical massage for the muscle tightness and actual one to one work with a physical therapist. If your surgeon sends you to the spot where you are just a number at the typical PT large chain place - go here, you won’t regret it.The entire team at TRI PT is amazing and committed to my recovery - I can’t thank Karen, Barb, Anna and Katie enough.
This place is so professional and clean!! I love it. I get medical massages from Katey who is amazing! Can’t say enough on how wonderful all the services are. 10 out 10!
I recently started receiving thereputic massage from Kady, and I have to say that the professionalism and ability of Tri-Physical therapy and their staff has been a game-changer in my healing process. Highly recommend this facility, and absolutely recommend Kady for the medical massage.
