What is Kinesiology Tape?

      Kinesiology taping is a technique used in pain, injury prevention, sports injuries, and other injuries. When applied correctly, it gently lifts the layers of skin and tissue above the muscle. Thus, it facilitates the movement of blood circulation and other fluids in the body around the muscle. According to researches, with the ease of movement of fluids / circulation, pain is reduced, joint and muscle movement is facilitated and the healing process is accelerated.

In Which Situations Is It Applied?

  • Mechanical problems that cause neck-back-low back pain
  • Soft tissue traumas in the musculoskeletal system (tendinitis, bursitis, muscle strains)
  • Sports injuries
  • Joint instability
  • Edema
  • Foot deformities (hallux valgus, hammer toe, heel spur plantar fasciitis..)
  • Muscle weakness due to inactivity
  • For protective purposes by supporting the muscle-joint surrounding tissues before physical activity and sportive activity.
  • Trap neuropathies such as carpal tunnel syndrome
