Medical taping

What is medical taping?

Medical taping is a treatment method in which elastic tape is applied to the skin to support muscles, joints and connective tissue without restricting movement. The tape stimulates circulation and lymph flow, reduces pressure on pain receptors and supports the body's natural recovery.

Complaints

Medical taping can help with various complaints, such as:
- Muscle and joint pain
- Overuse or sports injuries
- Swelling or fluid accumulation
- Posture problems
- Instability or reduced muscle function
- Tendon and ligament irritations

What can a podiatrist do?

The podiatrist will assess the complaint and choose a taping technique that suits your situation. Possible applications are:
- Relaxing overworked muscles
- Improving posture or movement patterns
- Supporting recovery from injury
- Reducing swelling
- Stabilising joints or tendons
- Combination with soles or other therapies

Recovery

Recovery with medical taping focuses on reducing pain and improving the function of muscles and joints. The tape supports the body during daily activities without restricting movement. Combined with exercises, shoe advice or other therapies, it helps to relieve symptoms faster and prevent recurrence.
