How Kinesio & Rocktape Work
By lifting the skin on a microscopic level, Rocktape & Kinesio Tape effectively relieve pain through facilitating lymphatic drainage in the affected muscles. This lifting power also serves to decrease any inflammation that may be occurring.
The application of Rocktape & Kinesio Tape have been developed over many years. Taping is done according to specific patient needs following a thorough assessment. Many factors are taken into account upon application, such as position, strip shape, and the amount of stretch with which the tape is placed. Because Rocktape & Kinesio Tape can be applied in hundreds of ways, the delivering physicians must be fluent in their use. Practicing chiropractors in Pasadena, Dr. Shahbazian and Dr. Zimmerman have years of experience in the application of Rocktape & Kinesio Tape, assuring an accurate and effective placement and treatment.

Dynamic and Static Stretching
Dynamic and static stretching techniques are used to help an athletic body maintain flexibility and strength. Static stretches are held at the resistance point of a muscle for about 20 seconds at a time. Dynamic stretches are done in motion, only hitting the muscle resistance point for a moment before continuing movement. Our chiropractors will make specific recommendations to athlete patients, helping them to maintain a proper routine. Beyond these techniques, our chiropractors are well versed in athletic physique and how to keep it running well. The initial consultation will determine the correct treatment for the circumstances.
