SpiderTech™ Tape:
Makes you move like Spiderman!




The purpose of Chiropractic treatment is to reset the nervous system, which is constantly learning by the example you set for it. Chiropractors perform certain assessments, which tells them which areas need a gentle adjustment and movement correction. Taping or strapping could enhance the effects of your treatment, speeding up your recovery time, after a Chiropractic treatment. We use Functional Movement Taping at our practice in Bedfordview, which keeps your body at attention, without you having to think or worry about it, no matter the activity.
 
Benefits of Functional Movement Taping:
  • To reduce fatigue during exercise and therefore prevent injury and cramping
  • To speed up drainage from swelling and bruising after a recent acute injury
  • Stop old habits getting in the way of correct movement after Chiropractic care, ensuring that you train correctly
  • Helps to maintain good posture when you aren’t moving, to reduce strain and stress on the body
  • Helps to keep your body moving more freely and with more ease, therefore helping to prevent injuries
     
Traditionally, a more “rigid” taping is used for strapping injuries. Rigid taping serves more of a stability function, to keep weakened joints from going too far past their threshold. Rigid taping plays a huge role in contact sports. However, when it is used for any other purpose, it tends to limit the full motion that the athlete can achieve. 

Functional Movement Taping with SpiderTech™ Tape glides with the skin, to guide the athlete’s movement rather than forcing or limiting it. It has far more benefits and can be widely used for different kinds of injuries.


As a Chiropractor, I have tested and used different types and brands of tape. Many have had different results and what I have found, through my experience, is that SpiderTech™ Tape is the best, which is why we use it at our practice in Bedfordview. It sticks well to the skin and with care, can be left on for a few days. It rarely causes skin irritation and when you remove it, there is hardly any glue residue or stickiness. It is hypoallergenic and made up of 100% cotton so your skin can breathe and it is safe for use for those who have a latex sensitivity. SpiderTech™ Tape is also designed to be used in all sporting activities so the good news is that it is waterproof, making it swim and shower friendly!
