Acute Acting
Just like in kinesiotaping, the bandages used in acute taping are stretchable. Akutaping is a further development of Kinesiotaping and combines findings from acupuncture and osteopathy with Kinesiotaping. As a result, not only the painful areas are taped, but also regions of the body which, due to a functional impairment, can trigger a disorder at the painful site.
For example, in the case of tennis elbow, a finger and forearm extensor muscle acupuncture can be used as with kinesiotaping. If this form of taping produces insufficient results, the flexor muscles of the fingers and forearm, the upper arm or the cervical spine can also be included in the treatment.
