Kinesio & acupressure taping

back to Conservative treatment methods >>

In recent years kinesio and acupressure taping has gained recognition in sports medicine, not only for top athletes but also for recreational sports. The method involves elastic, dermatologically tested, breathable tapes that are applied in specific patterns. This “second skin” massages and drains the tissue below without impairing the patient’s mobility. It stimulates blood circulation and metabolic processes and has a soothing effect on inflammation and swellings. The tapes also regulate muscle tone and stabilize the joints. Acupressure tapes involve permanent acupuncture stimulation through special needles under the tape. It has proven highly effective.
