One sports training service we offer for runners in Oakland, CA

Our SOL Physical Therapy team is ready to help you find the sports training services you need in Oakland, California. For instance, we offer kinesiology taping that may help runners improve the effectiveness of their training.

Our team knows runners experience all kinds of issues during training. In fact, we often see runners come into our office with issues such as muscle pain and joint instability. One way we may be able to help you deal with issues like these is with kinesiology taping. Also known as kinesio taping, this form of therapy uses a special kind of tape first developed by Dr. Kenzo Kase in 1979. Kinesio taping is designed to work differently from the traditional athletic taping you may be familiar with. Traditional taping is designed to immobilize your muscles and joints. Our kinesio taping service is designed to provide support to your body structures without compromising your mobility.

Our team is a huge fan of kinesio taping because of the potential benefits this therapy method offers. Some of the benefits you may get from this therapy include:

  • Increased blood flow to at-risk body structures
  • Reduced muscle pain and inflammation
  • Increased joint stability
  • Decreased risk of injury

All these kinesio taping benefits may also combine to allow you to train more effectively. If you’re ready to see if you may be able to benefit from kinesio taping or any of our other sports training services for runners, our team is here to help you. In fact, we’re ready to help you develop the most effective sports training plan for you in our Oakland, California office.
