Acu-Taping and Kinesio-Taping in Berlin-Frohnau
Aku-Taping is a gentle form of therapy for the relief of acute and chronic pain. Elastic tape bandages are applied specifically along the affected areas of the body. The method is based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine (acupuncture) and manual medicine.
Kinesio tape – gentle pain relief
Kinesio taping offers quick and effective relief for acute and chronic pain. Thanks to its elastic properties, the tape adapts to every movement and creates a permanent displacement of the skin against the subcutis. This effect is similar to lymphatic drainage or connective tissue massage, stimulates the flow of energy in the meridians (energy channels) and activates the body's self-healing powers.
A wide range of applications
Aku-Taping has proven particularly useful in sports medicine and is used in both professional and amateur sports. In addition to therapy, it is ideal for prevention.
