The origin of this method<\/h3>\n

It originated in Japan and was developed as a supplement to rigid white adhesive tape. This innovation has made it possible to develop and combine numerous new application techniques. In contrast to traditional fixation, this method not only focuses on immobilization; it also enables targeted support and mobilization of various joints. The development of the colorful adhesive tape is based on Far Eastern ideas and philosophy, with kinesiology serving as the fundamental basis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

What is elastic tape?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It is a specially developed, elastic band made of skin-friendly material that is applied directly to the muscles to activate the sensorimotor system and metabolism. Depending on requirements, it can either have a detonating (calming) or toning (activating) effect. In the toning application, it is applied from the muscle origin to the muscle insertion, while in the detonating application it is applied from the muscle insertion to the origin. This technique enables effective treatment of pain and restricted movement. In many cases, the brightly colored tape has replaced the traditional white, inelastic sports tape. Although the different colors are said to have different properties, there is no scientific basis for this.<\/p>\n
