Sports taping applied to athlete’s knee

Therapeutic Taping​

Therapeutic Taping (commonly known as kinesio taping or physiotherapy taping) is a specialized technique where elastic tape is applied to muscles and joints to provide support, reduce pain, and aid recovery without restricting movement. At SHERIN’S PHYSIOCARE, Kazhakkoottam (Trivandrum), our trained physiotherapists use taping as part of a complete rehabilitation program for faster and safer recovery.

Therapeutic Taping - F.A.Q.

Therapeutic taping is the application of special elastic tape to muscles, joints, or ligaments to reduce pain, improve support, and enhance recovery.

The tape gently lifts the skin, improving blood and lymphatic flow, reducing pressure on pain receptors, and supporting injured tissues.

It is effective for sports injuries, back pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, ankle sprains, plantar fasciitis, postural problems, and swelling.

No. Unlike rigid athletic tape, therapeutic tape is elastic, allowing movement while still providing support and pain relief.

Most therapeutic tape can be worn for 3–5 days, depending on skin type, activity level, and area of application.

Yes! The tape is water-resistant and designed to stay in place during daily activities, workouts, and even showers.

When applied correctly, taping is painless and comfortable. Some may experience mild skin sensitivity, but it is generally safe.

Not at all! While athletes benefit greatly, taping also helps office workers, elderly patients, and anyone with musculoskeletal pain or posture issues.

At SHERIN’S PHYSIOCARE, taping is combined with exercises, manual therapy, and rehab techniques to maximize recovery and prevent recurrence.
