Get to Know Our Doctor

Kinesiology, or KT, taping is a treatment method that uses a flexible, stretchable tape to support muscles and joints while still allowing normal movement. Unlike traditional athletic tape, which is stiff and limits motion, kinesiology tape moves with the body. This makes it useful for people who want support without feeling restricted during daily activities or exercise.
The tape is applied directly to the skin in specific patterns. When placed correctly, it gently lifts the top layer of the skin. This small lifting effect can improve circulation, which is the movement of blood and fluids through the body. Better circulation may help reduce swelling and ease discomfort in sore or injured areas.
Another benefit of kinesiology taping is improved body awareness. This means the body can better sense position and movement, which may help with balance and coordination. Because of this, the tape is often used for muscle strain, joint pain, and posture support.
Kinesiology tape is designed to be comfortable and can be worn for several days, even during showers or physical activity. While it does not replace proper treatment, it can be a helpful part of a care plan focused on recovery, strength, and safe movement.
Book your kinesiology taping session today to move more comfortably, stay active, and support your body’s recovery with expert care.
Summary: Final Rule Implementing Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued the Final Rule implementing the prohibition of discrimination under Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010. The Final Rule, Nondiscrimination in Health Programs and Activities, will help to advance equity and reduce health disparities by protecting some of the populations that have been most vulnerable to discrimination in the health care context. The final rule explains consumers’ rights under the law and provides covered entities important guidance about their obligations.
Section 1557 prohibits discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability in certain health programs and activities.
Section 1557 builds on long-standing and familiar Federal civil rights laws: Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI), Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504), and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (Age Act). Most notably, Section 1557 is the first Federal civil rights law to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex in all health programs and activities receiving Federal financial assistance.
Section 1557 has been in effect since enactment of the ACA in 2010 and the HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has been enforcing the provision since it was enacted.
Coverage of the Rule
The rule covers:
− Any health program or activity, any part of which receives funding from HHS (such as hospitals that accept Medicare or doctors who accept Medicaid);
− Any health program that HHS itself administers;
− Health Insurance Marketplaces and issuers that participate in those Marketplaces.
Attention: If you speak any of the listed below languages – language assistance services, free of charge, are available to you.
