Kinesio taping — step by step
Kinesio taping
step by step
Kinesio taping uses elastic bands that mimic the elasticity of the skin to support natural recovery processes: reduce pain and swelling, improve lymphatic drainage, and support muscles and joints—without restricting movement. The method is widely used in sports and physiotherapy.

Kinesio taping application
The tape is generally hypoallergenic, waterproof and can be worn for several days — while showering, exercising or sleeping. The application is performed by a trained specialist who determines the correct technique and direction for the desired effect.
Application Objectives:
- Pain reduction by slightly lifting the skin and reducing the pressure on the pain receptors
- Reduction of swelling and bruising through facilitated lymphatic drainage and blood circulation
- Support of muscles and joints without restriction of movement
(10–15 min.)
Functional Assessment
Prior to placement, a detailed functional assessment is performed to determine the exact muscles, joints or areas that need support and to select the most appropriate taping technique.
- Individual assessment
- Identifying problem areas
- Choosing the optimal taping technique
