The Kinesio Taping Method

Kinesio Taping Method is a therapeutic taping technique that not only provides pain relief but also provides support to your body & joints. By targeting different receptors within the somatosensory system, Kinesio Tape relieves pain and facilitates lymphatic drainage by the microscopic lifting of the skin.

This lifting effect – forms convolutions in the skin, thus increasing interstitial space and allowing the inflammation – if existent – of the affected areas to decrease. It also supports your joints and makes movement easier.
