Therapeutic taping is a rehabilitation technique used to support injured muscles, joints, and ligaments by applying adhesive tape to specific areas of the body. It provides mechanical support, enhances proprioception, and reduces pain by relieving pressure on injured tissues and promoting proper movement patterns.
The tape can be applied in various patterns depending on the condition being treated, such as stabilizing an ankle or shoulder or reducing muscle spasms. Therapeutic taping is commonly used for sports injuries, post-surgical recovery, and rehabilitation after musculoskeletal injuries.
This non-invasive treatment can help reduce discomfort, improve function, and support rehabilitation efforts, allowing patients to regain mobility and return to activity more quickly.
