WHAT Is Kinesiotaping and McConnell Taping Therapy?

Kinesio Tape (KT), or kinesiology tape, is a newly popularized modality that is used by therapists trained in the Kinesio Taping Method by Certified Kinesio Taping Instructors (CKTI).

Kinesio Tape is a latex-free hypoallergenic cotton fiber tape with an acrylic heat-activated backing that stretches only along its longitudinal axis.

The McConnell Taping Method is a technique that tapes body parts to affect a specific biomechanical movement.

What Our Clients Say

Tanya Poole

So happy with my treatment at the Hazelwood office. The staff are kind and positive and push you to continue to improve.

CG Walters

Celeste at SEPT had done great work for me in recovering a damaged ankle years ago. So when I had a total knee replacement we found that Celeste was with SEPT and there immediately.
Her work and focus is still top notch. In addition, the entire staff at SEPT Weaverville have been great to work with. My retraining has been mostly from Celeste and Jamie, but every person we have interacted with has been helpful, considerate and knowledgeable.
