Kinesio Taping is a therapeutic method that uses a specialized elastic tape to support muscles and joints, relieve pain, and promote natural healing—without restricting movement.
Developed as the world’s first taping technique, it is widely recognized as “The Original Taping Method.”
The tape is designed to mimic the elasticity of human skin and muscles. Once applied, it allows for a full range of motion, enabling individuals to move comfortably whether resting, working, or exercising.
How It Works
Kinesio Tape functions as an external support system for muscles and joints. Depending on the taping technique used by a licensed physiotherapist, it can serve different therapeutic purposes:
-
Supportation: Provides gentle support to muscles and joints, reducing tension and mechanical stress in areas of pain or injury.
-
Deactivation: Helps relax tight or overactive muscles to reduce strain and discomfort.
-
Activation: Stimulates weak or underused muscles to enhance their function and coordination.
When applied correctly, Kinesio Taping not only alleviates pain but also helps restore muscular balance and improve overall body mechanics.
