Kinesio Taping in Lemont, IL
Support that moves with you.
Therapeutic taping that backs up a healing joint or muscle without ever getting in your way, in Dr. Filippini's toolkit since 2006.
A little help that stays with you
Kinesio tape is a thin, elastic therapeutic tape that stretches and moves with your body. Applied one way, it gently lifts the skin to take pressure off irritated tissue, which can ease swelling and pain. Applied another way, it cues a muscle to engage and helps you hold better posture or movement.
Because it flexes instead of locking a joint down, you keep a full, natural range of motion while it works, on the field, at the gym, or through a normal day.
Where taping earns its keep
Dr. Filippini reaches for taping when a joint or muscle needs a little backup between visits.
Applied with a purpose, not by rote
Dr. Filippini has been taping patients since 2006. That experience matters, because the same roll of tape does very different things depending on how it is cut, stretched, and placed. He matches the application to your specific goal, whether that is calming a swollen ankle or supporting a shoulder through rehab.
- Paired with chiropractic care and adjustments
- Used alongside rehab exercise for return to sport
- A simple, drug-free way to support recovery between visits
Taping questions, answered
What does kinesio tape actually do?
The elastic tape supports muscles and joints without locking them down. Depending on how it is applied, it can gently lift the skin to ease swelling and pain, or cue a muscle to fire and help you hold better posture.
Will the tape limit my movement?
No. Unlike rigid athletic tape, kinesio tape stretches with you, so you keep a full, natural range of motion while it does its job.
How long does the tape stay on?
It is water-resistant and typically stays put for several days, through showers and workouts, before it needs to come off.
Do you have much experience with taping?
Yes. Dr. Filippini has used kinesio taping in practice since 2006 and has completed formal training in the method, so the application is matched to your specific goal rather than applied by rote.
