Taping

Hi

Becouse I told you about nervous and muscular system in last posts, now we could engage topic about methods applied in physioteraphy.
At first, I want tell you about taping.

Taping is type of manual physioteraphy, which uses non-stretch tapes.
Tapes aren't contain any medicament, they influence on skin and muscles.

Properties of tapes:

• strong, hypoallergenic glue,
• 100% cotton

To apply tapes, we must make skin dry. It can't be greasy, too.

Indications to use:

• tendinitis,
• sprains,
• joints instability,
• overstrains,

Contraindications:

• broad hemangiomas,
• huge skin wounds, 
• tendons rupture.

To sum up, non-stretch taping is used like a stabilisation and for prophylaxis.

That's all for today, enjoy!
