Kinesio taping

The primary goal of today’s functional tape is to create maximum stability besides joint movements and to relieve the load on particular tissue structures. Depending on the technique it can affect the lymphatic circulation as well. Thanks to constant improvements nowadays tapes are available in a wide selection, high quality, and various colors, patterns and strengths. The tape contains only the adhesive itself (Acryl), without any other active agent.

Kinesio taping is an additional treatment for physiotherapy. Your physiotherapist decides on the necessity of kinesio taping during the initial assessment, so please choose ’physiotherapy with assessment’ upon reservation.
