Kinesiotaping in Lafayette and shreveport, LA
What it is
Kinesiotaping uses flexible, skin friendly tape to support muscles and joints without locking them down. The tape lifts the skin slightly, which can improve local circulation and lymphatic flow, ease pressure on sensitive tissues, and help your body move with less pain. At FHPT, your clinician applies the tape in patterns that match your goals, whether that is calming a sore area, guiding better mechanics, or giving you light support during activity.
Who it helps
Kinesiotaping can help many day to day and sport related issues. It is useful for shoulder discomfort, knee pain with stairs, Achilles or calf tightness, plantar fasciitis, tennis or golfer’s elbow, and low back strain. Runners and field athletes often use taping to feel more stable during training and games. It is also a good option for workers who stand for long hours and want light support that still allows them to move freely.
Why FHPT
Fulco & Hall Performance & Therapy treats taping as a tool inside a complete plan. Your clinician starts with a quick screen to find the real driver of your pain or limitation. Then we place the tape with purpose and coach simple drills that make the support last after the tape comes off. You get clear instructions on wear time, skin care, and when to reapply. Our therapists and performance coaches work together so your taping plan lines up with your strength, mobility, and return to activity goals.
How a typical session works
Assess and target
We test motion, strength, and movement patterns to choose the right taping approach.
Prep and apply
Skin is cleaned and dried, then tape is cut and applied with the correct tension and direction.
Test and coach
We retest the motion or activity to confirm the effect, then teach one or two cues or drills that pair with the tape.
Wear and care
You get simple guidance on showering, pat drying, and how long to keep the tape on.
Plan the next step
We outline when to reapply and how to progress your exercises as symptoms improve.
Benefits you can expect

Safety and fit
Kinesiotaping is safe for most people. Your therapist will check for skin sensitivities and avoid areas that should not be taped. We use quality tape and proper tension to reduce irritation. If you have a condition that makes taping less suitable, we choose another method to reach the same goal. You will know what a normal sensation feels like and when to remove the tape early.
