Kinesiology taping is a therapeutic taping technique designed to enhance the body’s natural healing process while offering faciliatory elements to muscles during movement, all without limiting the range of motion. It can also extend the benefits of manual therapy received during clinical treatment.


Kinesiology tape, which is latex-free and can be worn for several days, is suitable for individuals of all ages, from pediatric to geriatric, and effectively addresses a range of orthopedic and neuromuscular conditions. By stimulating different receptors in the somatosensory system, the tape helps reduce pain and may promote lymphatic drainage by microscopically lifting the skin. This lift creates skin convolutions, increases interstitial space, and reduces inflammation in the affected areas.
