Kinesiotaping at JUVENIS in Vienna
The skin is the body's largest sensory organ. Stretching of the skin, for example due to swelling or scarring, leads to weakening of the associated muscle and disruption of the receptors. This is where kinesiotaping can help. Kinesio tape is an elastic adhesive tape that is applied directly to the skin. It has a mechanical and sensory effect on the skin and activates the nerve fibers. At JUVENIS in Vienna, kinesio taping is performed by Dr. Peter Guglia, for whom your well-being and health are the top priority.
Treatments & therapies
How does kinesiotape work?
Kinesiotape influences muscle function by increasing muscle strength. Microcirculation is improved and lymphatic drainage is activated. This reduces pain and supports joint function at the same time. The effectiveness of the tape depends on the respective application technique.
There are four basic techniques:
- Muscle technique: improvement of convolution, fluid transport, relief of the receptors
- Ligament technique: stabilization, space effect (spatialization)
- Fascia and correction technique: postoperative, for dysfunctions in the fascia tissue
- Lymphatic technique: increases blood and lymph circulation, reduces swelling and treats hematomas

FAQs
Kinesiotaping is a therapeutic treatment method in which special elastic tapes are applied to the skin. These so-called Kinesio Tapes support muscles, joints, and the lymphatic system without restricting mobility. The method is frequently used to treat pain, muscle tension, and sports-related injuries.
The elastic tape gently lifts the skin, thereby improving blood circulation and lymphatic flow in the tissue. At the same time, it stabilizes and relieves pressure on muscles and joints. This can help reduce pain and support the healing of injuries.
Kinesiotaping is often used for:
Muscle tension
Back and neck pain
Joint pain
Sports injuries
Tendon irritation
Strain-related pain
Swelling or lymphatic congestion
