It is one of the latest therapies used in physiotherapy. It relies on the sensory effect of a special patch applied to the body to stimulate the body to heal itself. The use of patches in therapy perfectly prevents the performance of improper movement, corrects the alignment of fascia and joints, normalizes muscle tension and the function of the lymphatic system.
HOW DOES KINESIOLOGY TAPING WORK?
- Reduces pain and unnatural sensations of the skin and
muscles - removes stagnation and lymphedema
- supports muscle function
- corrects the incorrect position of the joint
IMPACT ON MUSCLE FUNCTION:
- reduction of muscle fatigue
- improving the function of overstretched muscles
- reduction of increased muscle tension
- increase in range of motion
- removal or significant reduction of pain
- improving prioprioception
Kinesiology Taping therapy uses a patch with characteristics similar to those of human skin. One part of the method's name comes from the Greek: kinesiology - the science of movement, which can be restored after taping the patch. Each application is preceded by an examination, an assessment of the musculo-fascial system. Kinesiology Taping is the most developed, constantly rapidly developing variety of therapy, based on the latest advances in medical knowledge in the field of musculoskeletal therapy.
THE MOST IMPORTANT ADVANTAGES OF KINESIOLOGY TAPING:
- is well received by patients
- works 24 hours a day, not just during a therapy session
- improvement is noticeable immediately after application and persists after the patch is removed
- does not preclude the use of other forms of therapy.
