Kinesio/Biomechanical Taping
services
San Diego's Premier Rehabilitation Practice
Kinesio and biomechanical taping isn't about immobilizing you or covering up the problem. It's strategic reinforcement that supports healing tissue, provides feedback to your nervous system, and reminds your body how to move correctly between sessions.
Think of it as an extension of your treatment that keeps working after you leave.
Why we use taping as part of your recovery:
- Supports without restricting – Unlike traditional athletic tape, kinesio tape moves with you, allowing full range of motion while providing gentle support
- Neurological feedback – The tape's tension on your skin signals your brain to fire muscles differently, reinforcing proper movement patterns
- Reduces swelling and aids recovery – Lifts skin to improve lymphatic drainage and blood flow to healing areas
- Bridges sessions – Maintains the corrections we made during treatment, so you're not starting from scratch each visit
We apply it based on your specific movement dysfunction, injury pattern, and what you're doing between appointments.
Kinesio taping
support that moves
Taping happens at the end of your session, once we've done the corrective work.
Dr. Yanez will apply elastic therapeutic tape in specific patterns based on what your body needs. The application varies – sometimes we're supporting a joint, sometimes facilitating a weak muscle, sometimes inhibiting an overactive one. The tape's direction, tension, and placement all matter.
Here's how it feels: The tape itself is comfortable – it's stretchy, breathable, and designed to stay on for 3-5 days through showers, workouts, and normal activity. You'll feel gentle pulling or support on your skin, especially when you move in certain directions. That sensation is intentional – it's providing feedback to help you move better.
common conditions
Acute sprains and strains needing support during healing
Postural dysfunction requiring constant reminders to engage proper muscles
Lymphatic swelling after injury or surgery
Muscle weakness where the tape provides assistance during strengthening phase
Joint instability that needs reinforcement during activity
Pain management between treatment sessions

THE QUESTIONS YOU'RE
actually asking
Everything you need to know about getting started and what makes our approach work.
actually asking
Chiropractic care addresses how your body moves and functions as a whole. We use hands-on techniques—including adjustments, soft tissue work, and movement training—to restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve performance. An adjustment is a precise, controlled movement applied to a joint to restore range of motion and optimize function. But it's just one tool in our approach. We combine chiropractic with rehabilitation strategies to solve problems at the source, not just chase symptoms.
We're not a "crack and go" clinic. Every session is one-on-one for a full 60 minutes—just you and Dr. Yanez. That time allows us to dig into the root cause of your issue and apply multiple techniques tailored to how you move and what you need to accomplish. You're not getting cookie-cutter exercises or temporary relief. You're getting a comprehensive game plan that bridges rehabilitation and performance. The goal isn't just pain-free—it's getting you back to doing what you love, stronger than before. Everything you need to reach that goal is included in your personalized plan of care.
Chiropractic care is safe and shouldn't hurt. Some patients feel mild soreness the next day as their body adapts to changes in movement and tissue—similar to how you might feel after a solid workout. That tenderness typically resolves within 24-48 hours. We meet you where you're at and adjust our approach based on your comfort level.
Not even close. Adjustments are just one piece of the puzzle. We use Graston technique, cupping, dynamic taping, joint mobilization, myofascial release, functional strength training, movement assessment, and more. Your plan includes whatever tools you need to solve the problem—not what fits into a predetermined template. That's the difference between managing symptoms and actually fixing what's broken.
We're a cash-based practice, which means we're not limited by insurance restrictions on how we treat you. You pay for your personalized plan of care, and everything you need to reach your goals is included—no surprise bills, no fighting with your insurance for approval on techniques that actually work.
We provide a superbill—a detailed receipt you can submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. This gives you the freedom to have that conversation with your insurer while we focus on giving you the highest quality care without compromise. Our commitment is to you, not your insurance company's bottom line.
We'll tell you exactly that after your first evaluation. Based on your condition, how your body responds to treatment, and what you're trying to achieve, we'll map out a clear plan—"It's going to take X visits to tackle your problem."
Your job is simple: show up and follow the plan. Our job is to get you there. Some patients need 6 sessions, others need 12+ seassions—it all depends on the complexity of your issue and your goals. But you'll know the roadmap before you commit, not months into treatment.
