therapeutic taping

Therapeutic taping involves applying specially designed elastic athletic tape to the skin to support muscles and joints without restricting movement. It aims to improve blood and lymphatic flow, reduce pain, and enhance proprioception (body awareness). The tape works by gently lifting the skin, which can help decrease pressure and inflammation in affected areas. This technique is used for managing injuries, muscle strains, and joint issues, often as part of physiotherapy or sports medicine strategies. It is safe for most people and can be customized to target specific areas needing support and rehabilitation.
