Taping is a therapeutic technique that uses special elastic tapes to treat and prevent movement-related issues. It is an effective and non-invasive method that helps the body heal naturally while supporting its natural functionality. The tapes are designed to allow movement while providing the necessary support for injured or overstressed areas.
The main principle of taping is that the tapes stimulate muscles, joints, and circulation during movement, which helps alleviate pain, swelling, and inflammation. This method is suitable for a wide range of issues and offers solutions for both acute and chronic conditions.
How does taping work?
- Improve circulation: By gently lifting the skin, they support blood and lymph flow.
- Stimulate muscles: They help relieve tension or, conversely, support muscle activity.
- Alleviate pain: They reduce pressure on nerve endings and ease the feeling of pain.
- Support joints: They stabilize joints and reduce the risk of strain or injury.
When is taping suitable?
- Acute and chronic joint and muscle pain.
- Swelling and inflammation due to injury or overuse.
- Pain in the shoulders, elbows, and wrists.
- Back, hip, or knee pain.
- Problems with the Achilles tendon or heel spurs.
This method is not only intended for athletes but also for individuals with sedentary jobs who suffer from long-term strain or pain caused by poor posture.
How is taping applied?
Taping tapes are applied by a professionally trained therapist based on the specific issue of the client. Proper application is crucial to achieving the desired effect. The tapes last for several days and are water-resistant, so you can wear them while showering or exercising.
