Taping

Taping, also known as kinesiology taping or physical therapy taping, is a method in which elastic bands are applied to the skin to provide support, stability and pain relief in specific areas of the body. This tape is made of flexible material and is breathable, which means it adapts well to the skin.

Treatment process

The tape is applied by a qualified physiotherapist or a trained user. It is applied to the affected area of skin, with the tension of the tape varying depending on the objective. The application is usually carried out in specific patterns that are tailored to the individual needs of the patient. Depending on the application, the tape can be worn for several days to a week as it is water-resistant and does not affect skin breathing.
