How kinesio taping supports your recovery and improves performance!
We offer specialised treatment with kinesio taping, a modern method in physical therapy. Kinesio taping is a technique in which elastic, self-adhesive tapes are applied to specific areas of the body. These tapes support the body’s natural healing by improving blood and lymph circulation, regulating muscle tension and stabilising joints without restricting freedom of movement.
What makes the kinesio taping method at ANDRUKONIS Physiotherapy special is its individually adapted application. The ANDRUKONIS therapists have sound knowledge of anatomy and kinesiology, which enables them to tailor the tape precisely to the needs of each individual patient. Their expertise allows effective treatment of a wide range of complaints, from sports injuries to chronic pain conditions.
In our physiotherapy practice, we focus on orthopaedics and the effective treatment of diseases and complaints of the musculoskeletal system. Our goal is to improve our patients‘ mobility and functionality and to relieve pain. To achieve this goal, we have integrated kinesio taping as an essential part of our range of therapies. This method is particularly effective in supporting healing processes by optimising muscle and joint functions while preserving natural freedom of movement.
Kinesio taping is a common part of physiotherapy treatment. This method is used specifically to support and enhance the therapeutic effects of the treatment. As a rule, there are no additional costs for the application itself; only the material costs for the special tapes are charged. Compared to the benefits the tape offers – such as pain relief, support of muscle function and promotion of healing – these costs are often low. Kinesio taping is therefore a valuable and cost-effective addition to physiotherapy treatment.
Our commitment and constant effort to always give our best in treatment and to support our patients exactly where they need it most is confirmed by the numerous positive reviews.
We are proud that our patients value our work and express this through their positive feedback.
A kinesio taping treatment typically begins with a thorough medical history, in which the therapist records the patient’s specific complaints and needs. This is followed by a careful examination of the affected body region in order to identify the exact cause of the complaints. Based on this information, the therapist selects the appropriate tape and application technique.
The tape is then applied to cleaned skin. The therapist makes sure the tension and alignment are correct in order to optimally support the affected muscles, joints or lymphatic pathways. The elastic properties of the tape allow full freedom of movement while at the same time providing therapeutic support.
After applying the tape, the therapist gives instructions on how to care for and handle the tape in everyday life. How long the tape is worn varies, but it can stay on the skin for several days up to a week, even while showering or doing sport. Regular checks and, if necessary, adjustment of the tape are part of the treatment in order to optimally support the healing process.
Kinesio taping, an innovative method in sports physiotherapy, has established itself as an effective technique for supporting the healing process. It is based on the principle that physical healing can be promoted by gentle external support. This method uses special elastic tapes applied to the skin to support muscles, joints and the lymphatic system. Kinesio taping not only offers therapeutic benefits such as pain relief and improved mobility, but also promotes the body’s natural self-healing without restricting freedom of movement.
Kinesio taping proves to be a versatile treatment method and raises the question: „When does kinesio taping make sense?“ Here are its main areas of application:
These areas of application underline the versatility of kinesio taping in therapeutic and preventive contexts.
Kinesio taping works by applying elastic tapes to the skin, which has a range of positive effects on the body’s musculoskeletal and lymphatic systems. These effects include:
These diverse effects make kinesio taping a popular choice in rehabilitation and in the treatment of various physical complaints.
Incorrect taping can indeed lead to undesirable side effects, which raises the question: „When should you not tape?“ Possible risks and side effects of improper use are:
It is therefore important that kinesio taping is carried out by a trained professional in order to minimise these risks and make full use of the therapeutic benefits.
A kinesio tape can usually be worn for three to seven days. The exact wearing time depends on various factors, such as skin tolerance, the wearer’s activity level and the specific treatment requirements.
The colours of kinesio tape have no specific medical meaning. They mainly serve aesthetic purposes and personal preference. Some users believe in a psychological effect of the colours, but this has not been scientifically proven.
When choosing a tape colour for treating inflammation, there is no scientifically proven effect of the colour choice. The decision for a particular colour is usually based on personal preference or aesthetic reasons. It is important to concentrate on the correct application technique, regardless of the colour of the tape.
The choice of tape colour for pain has no scientifically proven influence on the effectiveness of the treatment. The choice of colour is usually a matter of personal preference or aesthetics. More important than the colour is the correct application of the tape by an experienced therapist.
When treating tension with kinesio tape, the colour of the tape plays no scientifically proven role. The choice of colour is mainly based on personal preferences or aesthetic reasons. What matters for effectiveness is the correct application of the tape, not its colour.
