Support, Stability, and Pain Relief with Kinesio^® Taping

At Orthopedic and Sports Therapy of Kenner and Metairie, we use Kinesio Taping as a powerful tool to support the body’s natural healing process—without limiting your range of motion. This elastic therapeutic tape is strategically applied to lift the skin, improve circulation, and reduce pressure on underlying tissues, making it a great addition to injury recovery, performance training, and chronic pain management.

Kinesio Taping is effective for:

Joint and muscle support without restricting movement
Reducing swelling, bruising, and inflammation
Postural correction and muscle re-education
Managing overuse injuries like shin splints or runner’s knee
Enhancing proprioception (your body’s sense of position and movement)

Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or just need extra support for an active lifestyle, Kinesio Taping can help you move with more confidence and less discomfort.

Our certified physical therapists are trained in advanced taping techniques and will apply the tape based on your unique anatomy and goals—often in combination with other hands-on therapies and exercises to ensure lasting results.

Ready to move better and feel stronger? Kinesio Taping is a simple but highly effective step in the right direction.

Precision Recovery with Cybex Isokinetic Testing & Rehab

At Orthopedic and Sports Therapy of Kenner and Metairie, we utilize Cybex Isokinetic Testing and Rehabilitation—a gold standard in objective strength and performance assessment. This cutting-edge technology allows us to measure muscle strength, endurance, and joint function with pinpoint accuracy, helping us design rehab plans that are tailored, targeted, and data-driven.

Cybex testing provides unmatched insights for:

Post-operative recovery (ACL, rotator cuff, joint replacements)
Return-to-sport decision-making
Injury prevention screenings
Muscle imbalance detection
Workers’ comp and functional capacity evaluations

Using isokinetic resistance, the Cybex system safely challenges the muscles at a controlled speed, allowing for maximum effort without increased injury risk. That means safer rehab, measurable progress, and faster return to sport or daily activity.

Once deficits are identified, we use that information to create a customized rehabilitation program that targets the exact weaknesses holding you back. With objective progress tracking built in, you’ll see real results—not just feel them.

Whether you’re recovering from surgery, training to return to sport, or want to understand your body better, Cybex Isokinetic Testing and Rehab puts science behind your strength.
