We use medical taping for various joint, muscle and tendon complaints. The taping rests (detonizes) or activates (tonises) the affected structures.
In addition to medical taping, we also offer other treatment options that improve the effectiveness of treatment. For an overview click below.
Medical taping is an approach that supports the healing process. The Medical taping concept uses elastic tape. The tape is stretchable up to 140 percent. This elasticity is used when applying the tape and ensures that the epidermis is 'lifted', as it were. The recovery process is thus supported.
For example, taping can be useful after a tissue trauma such as a muscle tear. After a muscle tear, an inflammatory reaction takes place, causing local swelling. This causes an increase in pressure on the surrounding tissue. The lifting effect of the tape immediately relieves pressure. One of the most important effects is direct pain relief due to the decrease in pressure on the pain receptors, the increase in blood circulation and lymphatic drainage.
The tape does not need to be removed during exercise and showering. Sometimes there is an allergic reaction. Then it is important to remove the tape immediately.
Intake
During the intake, your physical problem will be mapped out on the basis of an interview and a physical examination.
Therapy
During a treatment with medical taping, the affected joint is muscle or tendon taped. If the structure is load-bearing enough, we start with exercise therapy.
Homework exercises
After a treatment with medical taping, you will receive homework exercises to optimize the effect of the treatment
Follow-up appointment
If necessary, a follow-up appointment is scheduled to briefly evaluate the previous treatment. If necessary, tape is repeated or exercise therapy is started.
During the gait analysis, your old shoes will be assessed. You have to walk up and down in front of the camera a few times to film and analyze your walking pattern. You then walk barefoot in front of the camera several times and, if necessary, in corrected shoes to judge the difference. The gait pattern is then assessed frame by frame to determine whether there is compensation from the feet, knees and/or hip/pelvis and appropriate shoe advice can be given.
You can reach us by phone or email via the telephone number or registration form below. Clearly state the complaint. Then we make an appointment with a specialist fysiotherapist.
