Kinesiology Taping

Kinesiology taping is a physiotherapy method in which special elastic tapes (kinesio tapes) are applied to the skin to support muscles, joints, and soft tissues without restricting movement.

How it works:

• The tape gently lifts the skin, improving blood circulation and lymphatic drainage (reducing swelling and inflammation)

• Provides a proprioceptive signal (the body becomes more aware of the targeted area), which helps improve movement quality

• Can assist in stabilizing joints or muscle groups without rigid fixation

When it is used:

• Sports injuries (sprains, bruises, knee or ankle instability)

• Back and joint pain

• To reduce swelling and lymphatic drainage problems

• Muscle tension or postural issues

• Post-surgery rehabilitation

• During pregnancy

Kinesiology tapes come in different colors, but the color is purely aesthetic and does not affect their function.
