Taping
Kinesiology tape
K-tape is an elastic adhesive tape made of a breathable material that can be applied directly onto the skin.
One of the goals is to distract the body from pain by creating a touching sensation.
K-tape helps to facilitate movement by supporting the area while allowing a controlled movement.
Another benefit of K tape is reducing oedema by lifting the skin so the lymphatic system can drain the fluid and heal the inflammation.
Athletic tape
This treatment method aims to protect and support and injured area.
It consists in using Zinc Oxide tape (made from non-stretch cotton) to restrict movement. This type of tape is strong and provides rigid support to the joint applied.
It is highly adhesive and resistant to water, which makes it last long.
