Kinesiology tape will be utilized to help provide structural support and proprioceptive stimulus to a specific region of the body. The tape will help the patients be more confident in specific movement patterns which can improve healing time. Rock tape can help decrease swelling due to the tape lifting on the skin. The decrease in swelling can help in pain reduction.

Percussion massage is used to loosen tight muscles and fascia to improve joint range of motion. This type of massage can be useful for patients with post workout soreness or delayed onset muscle soreness. It is a great tool to use for athletes to help them recover from long training sessions.
