Conventional athletic tape is designed to restrict and support the movement of the injured body part to protect the area from further damage. Kinesio Taping® goes further: it offers support and allows the patient complete range of motion during the rehabilitation process.
Kinesio tape dries quickly, is water resistant, and allows for regular showering and bathing. It’s made from cotton and adhesive that make it gentle on skin. This and other benefits make it a great treatment for cyclists, runners, athletes, and other active patients.
There are several benefits of Kinesio Taping®:
Reduced pain
Corrected joint alignment
Improved proprioception and muscle function
Improved blood flow
Decreased swelling and lymphedema (useful for breast cancer patients)

Chiropractic works to correct subluxations (misalignment) of the individual spinal bones. Subluxated bones put pressure on the spinal cord and the spinal nerves causing malfunction in any part of the body and imbalance in surrounding muscles and ligaments.
Fascial Stretch TherapyTM is a unique, complete system of assisted stretching. It focuses on the fascia, a network of layered connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones, and joints.
Stretching the fascia involves a hands-on series of stretches. The patient lies on a massage table equipped with comfortable straps that stabilize parts of the body not being worked on. Breath work helps the patient engage deeply in each stretch.
The benefits of traditional stretching are increased greatly by extending the stretch to the joint capsule with the chiropractor’s assistance. Stretch therapy is recommended for athletes and other active patients, as it improves athletic performance, range of motion, and posture, and helps decrease risk of injury, stress, and muscle soreness.
Sessions are offered for upper body, lower body, and combination. 60–90 minute sessions are recommended for optimal benefits; 30 minute sessions are also offered.
Patients are advised to wear loose-fitting or athletic clothing during their treatment.
Dr. Rothman is a Level III Fascial Stretch Specialist, certified by the Stretch to Win Institute.
