Kinesiotaping is a method of plastering with a special tape of parameters highly similar to human skin.
Dynamic tape is not soaked with any drug. The technique allows achieving excellent therapeutic results
by sensory properties of the tape. Tape plastered appropriately makes surface foldings, which increases
space between the actual skin and fascia. This action facilitates the microcirculation of blood and lymph.
Moreover, it activates the process of self-healing. The most commonly used tape pulling is 10-25% – this
force rasp the nerves in a therapeutic manner. Enhancement in microcirculation improves absorption of
hematomas, oedema and decreases inflammation. The anodyne activity comes from the influence on skin
receptors. Appropriate kind of tape and technique of plastering can act as lymphatic drainage or is a great
addition for manual lymphatic drainage. Kinesiotaping improves muscle activity, thus the motion is
facilitated, which increases mobility.
