Kinesiotape | Taping a torn ligament

Kinesiotape

Kinesiologic tape is a special form of therapeutic tape. These are elastic, self-adhesive tape strips made of a stretchy material. Polyacrylate glue is used as the adhesive.

The kinesiologic tape is applied to the skin using various taping techniques. Among other things, they are intended to release tensions, improve the microcirculation of the tissue and support the joint function. Despite growing popularity even among doctors and physiotherapists, there is still a lack of meaningful studies and evidence about the possible mechanisms of action.
