The technique of taping with flexible tapes originated thirty years ago in Japan. It gradually spread to the USA and Europe. It is used to relieve pain and improve the function of muscles, joints and fascia. When the elastic tape is applied to the skin, the proprioreceptors are activated, which results in the release of the upper layer of the skin from the subcutaneous tissue and the subcutaneous tissue from the fascia, thus creating more space for muscle relaxation and regeneration. It supports blood and lymph circulation and thus has a beneficial effect on the healing of muscle ruptures. It helps to stabilize the joints and improves the condition of postoperative scars. It can also be combined with regular stabilizing rigid tapes.
