Kinesiology tape

Coloured kinesiology tape applied on the skin at FisioEscòcia (Nou Barris, Barcelona)

Kinesiology tape, or neuromuscular taping, is that colourful elastic tape you will have seen on many athletes. Applied correctly, it supports muscles and joints without restricting movement, and it can help relieve pain and improve recovery. At FisioEscòcia we use it as a complement within your treatment.

What does neuromuscular taping offer?

  • Muscle and joint support without reducing mobility
  • Pain relief in injuries and overload
  • Help with drainage and reducing local inflammation
  • Support for the muscles during sporting activity
  • A complement in injury recovery

Professional application

The effect of kinesiology tape depends on correct application: the technique, tension and direction of the tape change according to the goal. Our physiotherapists assess when and how to apply it, always integrated into your treatment plan.
