Kinesiotape
Kinesiotape of the shoulder joint is a very gentle and effective complementary therapy to physiotherapy. Elastic tapes are applied to the skin in a specific tape layer, which remain there for a total duration of approx. 4 weeks (tape change every 7 days).
The tape has a relaxing effect on the stressed shoulder muscles and thus improves muscle function. The increased removal of inflammatory substances and the increased drainage of lymph fluid in the affected area reduces the increased intra-articular pressure. Pain at rest and pain when moving decreases, the feeling of movement improves and the joint function is made more economical by restoring a better muscle balance. The entire healing process is effectively supported and accelerated.
