Medical Taping

Welcome to our official web page "Medical Taping". Here you can find all necessary information about kinesiology taping, its applications and different taping techniques for different injuries.  We are happy to share with you worldwide and our team research experience in this area of study.
We are open for any cooperation offers, internships, experience exchange programs, as well as free information passing to international and national colleagues. 
The purpose of the Medical Taping project is to collect, promote and share kinesiology taping techniques and experiences between worldwide colleagues.
