Therapeutic tape that’s applied strategically to the body to provide support, lessen pain, reduce swelling, and improve performance. An elastic tape that provides input into an area, but still allows for full range of motion mimicking the elasticity of human skin.Everyone has nerve receptors in their skin,as well as in the deep layers of the fascia, muscles and other connective tissues. When the tape is applied, it causes compression or decompression of these areas allowing it to alter pain signals to the brain. For example if someone has Plantar Fasciitis and is experiencing a lot of tightness in their calves,taping with limited tension can turn “off” the muscle so the person doesn’t receive pain signals.

Exercise must be complemented by a balanced diet. Not losing weight? So many factors play a part, from the food you are eating, to hormones, which can affect how much water your body retains. Also gaining muscle at the same time as you lose fat may keep those numbers on the scales the same. Most people I find aren’t eating enough and their body has gone into starvation mode-this is when your metabolism slows so you use less energy and burn fewer calories.You may also drop muscle mass to conserve energy, this is not a healthy way to lose weight.I can help you identify problem areas in your eating habits and plan accordingly to improve them.

Balance is the ability to stay upright or stay in control of body movement and coordination is the ability to move two or more body parts under control smoothly and efficiently. Together they are crucial for most sports but as we grow older and lose physical strength and bone density our sense of balance deteriorates and we take longer to recover from a fall. The good news is it is never too late and we can slow this process by being active.
