Kinesio Taping and Functional Taping

A rehabilitative and preventive treatment involving the application of specific elastic patches to the skin, ideal for athletes and post-trauma recovery.

What to Expect During the Session

After a careful evaluation of movement and tissues, special drug-free elastic cotton patches are applied to the skin. The application is quick and painless. Depending on the goal (draining, relaxing, or stabilizing), the tape is cut and tensioned in specific ways.

The Science Behind the Treatment

The elastic tape creates microscopic pliche cutanee during movement. This lifting of the skin reduces local pressure on pain receptors, while simultaneously promoting blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. It also provides constant proprioceptive feedback that helps move the joint safely and physiologically.

Recovery Time

The patches act continuously and can be kept on the skin for 3-5 days (being water-resistant). Pain relief and joint support are immediate. It is often used as a supplement to osteopathic treatment to prolong its therapeutic effectiveness.
