Postural taping is a rehabilitation tool to help assist with correcting posture. The process involves applying athletic tape to specific muscles and joints to help improve postural awareness and to help control movements. This allows your body to learn what a better posture feels like without forcing your body into position. The tape slightly pulls on the skin when you start to slouch or get out of position and the pulling of the tape on your skin allows you to be more aware of your body’s posture. This technique can improve forward head positioning, decrease strain on overworked muscles, and can relive pressure and pain in the spine and neck. If you feel like your posture needs correcting, Call Specialized Physical Therapy today, so we can help you improve!
