Medical Taping at Fysio & Motion – Support for Recovery and Relief
Medical taping, also known as kinesio taping, is a physiotherapy method that uses elastic tape to support muscles and joints without restricting movement. At Fysio & Motion, we apply this technique for injuries, back pain, overuse complaints, and even hay fever symptoms.
What is medical taping?
Medical taping involves applying elastic tape directly to the skin. The tape gently lifts the skin, which improves blood flow and lymph drainage, while stimulating the body’s natural healing process.
Key effects of medical taping include:
- Supporting muscles without limiting mobility
- Reducing pain and promoting recovery
- Improving posture and movement patterns
- Stimulating blood circulation and reducing swelling
What can medical taping help with?
Medical taping is suitable for a wide range of complaints. Our therapists use it both for acute injuries and chronic problems.
Common applications:
- Sports injuries: ankle, knee, shoulder, calf, Achilles tendo
- Back pain: taping the back to support muscles and improve posture
- Overuse injuries: tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, shoulder complaints
- Swelling, bruising and fluid retention
- Hay fever taping: relief of hay fever symptoms such as sneezing and itchy eyes
- Pregnancy-related complaints, such as pelvic instability
Hay fever taping – a natural solution
Did you know that medical taping can reduce hay fever symptoms? By applying tape on specific points on the back, tension in the respiratory muscles is reduced. This often provides relief from symptoms like sneezing, nasal congestion, and itchy eyes.
This method is safe, drug-free, and can provide great relief during hay fever season.
Hoe werkt een How does a medical taping treatment work?
Your first appointment starts with a short assessment to check whether medical taping is suitable for your complaint. The tape is applied directly to the skin and can stay on for several days, even while showering or exercising.
Medical taping is often combined with other physiotherapy treatments such as exercise therapy or manual therapy for maximum results.
