KINESIOTAPING
KINESIOTAPING, also known as LYMPH TAPING, is ideal for supporting lymphatic drainage and works as a way to help heal traumatised soft tissue.
The special CureTape Kinesiotape has the same elasticity as the skin and is applied using special techniques, so that lymph fluid can be drained faster. Different stretches and pressures are used to apply the tape, allowing swelling to be reduced and easing pressure and pain. During movement there is a micro-massage effect, which has an effect on the more superficial layers of the skin. Kinesiotape is applied after MLD to continue drainage in the area after treatment.
KinesioTape can be used on scars, bruising, fibrosis and swelling as a painfree, safe & effective treatment.
