Kinesiology taping method

The kinesiology taping method uses a specific type of tape that’s mostly used by sports medicine specialists. Kinesiology tape is a cotton strip with an acrylic adhesive whose elasticity is similar to the human skin. The tape is used for therapeutic treatments and can be used daily for physical complaints. Due to its elasticity kinesiology tape regulates the transdermal patch, muscle tone, and supports the joints, without limiting the freedom of movement, all of which make a huge difference to the usual bandaging.


The main applications for the kinesiology taping method are especially for:

  • Complaints with the muscle system (e.g. muscle tension)

  • After orthopedic injuries (e.g. circulation stimulation, muscle development)

  • Passive support of the ligaments and tendons

  • Pain relief
