Kinesio Taping

What is kinesio taping?

• Kinesio taping helps support recovery in areas of the area of the body affected by strain or injury.
• Kinesio tape does not contain medication. It is breathable and water-permeable tape made of elastic fabric, similar to the elasticity of human skin.
• The tape can remain on the skin for 5-14 days, and can be worn when showering, swimming or using the sauna.

Kinesio taping during pregnancy

Supporting the abdomen with tape can help relieve pubic pain, tension in the lower abdomen, and discomfort in the sacral area caused by pregnancy. It can also make movement and turning in bed more comfortable.

Taping applied to the back may help reduce tension and pain in the back and lower back.

Taping applied to the arms can help relieve wrist pain and reduce swelling.
