Maximum Support. Targeted Stability. Trusted Protection.
​
At Park Hill Chiropractic in Fort Worth, Dr. Seth Elliot provides rigid taping services for patients who need firm, reliable support during injury recovery, athletic performance, or post-surgical rehabilitation.
This highly effective taping method is ideal for stabilizing joints, reducing strain on injured tissues, and preventing further injury.
What Is Rigid Taping?
Rigid taping—also called athletic taping or sports taping—involves the application of a strong, non-elastic tape to limit joint movement and support injured muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Unlike flexible taping techniques like Kinesio Tape, rigid tape is designed to restrict movement, helping prevent excessive motion that could worsen an injury.
It’s especially beneficial during the early phases of recovery, when tissues need time to heal and re-stabilize.
