Kinesio and sports tapes are special adhesive tapes that are used for various complaints and injuries of the musculoskeletal system. They are applied to the skin and have a supportive effect on the muscles and the surrounding tissue.

Kinesio taping was developed in the 1970s by the Japanese chiropractor Dr. Kenzo Kase. It is an elastic, breathable cotton tape that is stuck to certain areas of the body. The elasticity of the tape promotes blood circulation and supports the muscles. This can relieve pain and promote tissue regeneration.

Sports taping, on the other hand, is made from a non-elastic cotton tape and is usually used for acute injuries, such as a torn ligament. The tape fixes the affected joint and helps to stabilize and relieve it.

Kinesio and sports tapes can be used for various complaints and injuries, such as back or joint pain, muscle strains or overload. The tapes are also often used in competitive sports to increase the resilience of the muscles and prevent injuries.

We are specially trained in the use of kinesio and sports tapes and adapt the taping techniques individually to the needs and complaints of our patients. We attach great importance to offering holistic therapy and often combine the taping technique with other treatment methods, such as physiotherapy exercises or manual therapy.

If you suffer from pain or injuries to the musculoskeletal system and are looking for a supportive therapy method, the use of kinesio or sports tapes can be a good option. Please contact us for more information or to arrange an appointment.
