HOW KINESIO TAPE CAN HELP YOU Kinesio taping has become much more visible in recent years. You have likely seen athletes, gym-goers, and even pregnant women using the colorful muscle tape in strategic positions as a way of easing pressure on their joints and alleviating pain. Kinesio tape is a union of old-school pain management strategies and state-of-the-art medical technology, utilizing aspects of acupressure and strategic hand therapy by placing elastic therapeutic tape around problematic areas. The tape exudes a pulling force, allowing for a free range of motion while still providing a therapeutic pressure to the targeted area. The goal of kinesio tape is to enhance blood circulation at targeted areas, thereby reducing pain and improving recovery time following an injury. Kinesio tape works off the science of kinesiology, which is a fundamental aspect of hand therapy. For kinesio tape to work effectively, the tape must be applied in strategic ways that are designed to follow muscle movement as you move through your day, then the tape can effectively improve healing and reduce pain. To see how kinesio taping can help you, give us a call today!
Instructions Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the farro and allow it to cook at a rolling boil. While the farro cooks, make the dressing. Place all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Taste-test and add more salt or adjust any seasonings to your liking. After the farro has boiled for about 15 minutes, remove a couple grains and test themfor doneness. The farro should be tenderwith a bit of chewyness when done, but cook it until it’s as firm or soft as you like. The cook time should be in the range of 15 to 20 minutes. When the farro is done cooking, drain it into a strainer. Let the farro sit in the strainer for a few minutes to cool. Place the cooked farro into a large mixing bowl, along with the spinach, avocado, cherry tomatoes, and artichoke hearts. Drizzle the dressing over the salad (use asmuch as you like) and toss to coat. Season the saladwith salt and pepper to taste. Divide onto plates and serve.
