Indications
Kinesiotaping effectively supports recovery after muscle strains and joint sprains. The elastic tapes stabilise the loaded structures while allowing a free range of motion. By improving blood supply, it supports pain reduction and speeds up the healing process.
Kinesio tapes are used in the therapy of back pain caused by overload, stress or degeneration. Their application relieves the paraspinal muscles and improves posture. This method also helps with chronic conditions such as sciatica.
The method is used to reduce lymphatic and post-traumatic swelling. By gently lifting the skin, it improves the circulation of fluids in the body, supporting lymphatic drainage. This reduces the feeling of heaviness and swelling in the limbs.
Kinesiotaping works excellently in treating tendon inflammations such as tennis elbow or runner’s knee. The tapes reduce overload and stabilise the surrounding structures. They also help prevent injuries during physical activity.
Assessment of the patient’s condition
Analysis of the problem requiring therapy, e.g. swelling, muscle tension or pain.
Application of the tapes
The specialist applies the tapes in the appropriate way depending on the goal of the therapy: reducing pain and tension; reducing swelling by improving lymphatic drainage; stabilising and supporting muscles and joints.
Treatment effects
Immediate reduction of pain and discomfort. Acceleration of tissue regeneration. Improvement of muscle and joint function.
Frequently asked questions
What does kinesiotaping involve?
Kinesiotaping is the application of elastic tapes to the skin that gently lift its superficial layers - this improves blood and lymph circulation, reduces pain and supports muscle work without restricting movement.
Which conditions does kinesiotaping help with?
For muscle strains and joint sprains, back and neck pain, lymphatic and post-traumatic swelling, postural defects, and as support for training and overload therapy.
How long are kinesio tapes worn?
Usually 3-5 days - the tape works around the clock, including during sleep and bathing. After this time the application can be repeated.
Can you bathe and do sport with the tapes?
Yes - the tapes are waterproof; after bathing simply pat them dry gently with a towel. Training with the application is highly recommended - the tape supports the muscles in movement.
Does kinesiotaping hurt or restrict movement?
No - the tapes are as elastic as skin and do not limit the range of motion. A correct application is imperceptible; some patients describe a pleasant feeling of support.
Does kinesiotaping really work?
Yes - combined with manual therapy and exercises it reduces pain and swelling and improves body awareness. We treat it as a complement to treatment that extends the effects of therapy between visits.
Who should apply the tapes?
A trained physiotherapist - effectiveness depends on the correct technique, direction and tension of the tape matched to the goal of the therapy. An incorrect application can be ineffective.
Does kinesiotaping help with swelling?
Yes - lymphatic applications support lymph outflow, reducing post-traumatic and post-operative swelling. It is a frequent element of therapy after surgical procedures, also at Luna Clinic.
Can the tapes be used after surgery?
Yes, after the wound has healed - kinesiotaping reduces swelling and improves scar mobility and comfort. The post-operative application is carried out by a physiotherapist in consultation with the doctor.
Are there contraindications to kinesiotaping?
Yes: damaged or infected skin, active thrombosis, tumours in the application area, an allergy to the acrylic adhesive. We assess any doubts before application.
How to prepare the skin for the application of tapes?
The skin should be clean, dry and free of grease, without lotions; abundant hair is worth trimming. This allows the tape to hold for the full 3-5 days.
How much does kinesiotaping cost in Wrocław?
The price depends on the number and size of applications; taping is sometimes also an element of a manual-therapy session. You will find current prices in the Luna Clinic price list.
Contraindications
How to prepare?
You do not need any special preparation - comfortable clothing is enough. Bring your medical records (discharge notes, imaging) if the therapy concerns recovery after surgery or injury.
Recovery and recommendations
After the session you may feel a pleasant relaxation or temporary “soreness” of the worked tissues - this is natural and passes within 48 hours. The therapist will give you simple exercises and recommendations for home.

What does kinesiotaping involve?
Kinesiotaping is a procedure in the field of manual therapy. At Luna Clinic, every treatment plan is created individually - we start with a thorough consultation and qualification, during which the doctor discusses expectations, assesses the starting situation and selects the scope and technique of the procedure. Thanks to this, kinesiotaping is safe, predictable and tailored to the anatomy and real needs of the specific person. We focus on a natural rather than artificial effect - so that the result emphasises individual beauty and remains in harmony with the rest of the figure or facial features. You will find a full, detailed description of the method in the upper part of this page.
kinesiotaping - who is it for? Indications and qualification
The best way to answer whether kinesiotaping is advisable in your case is during a consultation. The doctor always decides on qualification after an examination - we take into account the state of health, expectations and the real possibilities of the given method. If the procedure is not needed or safe at the moment, we will say so directly and suggest a sensible alternative. Such an honest conversation is the basis of a good decision and satisfaction with the result - which is why we never persuade anyone into unnecessary procedures.
How does the procedure go?
The course is planned to take maximum care of your comfort and safety. We work in comfortable conditions that meet all standards, and an experienced team oversees the process. All recommendations - preparation, contraindications and post-procedure conduct - are discussed individually and also provided in writing, so that kinesiotaping proceeds calmly, predictably and without surprises.
Effects and durability - kinesiotaping before and after
The effects that kinesiotaping provides are always assessed individually. A natural, harmonious refreshment of appearance or an improvement of proportions is the goal we strive for with every patient. “Before and after” transformations are best viewed in our results gallery - they show the real outcomes of our work. Remember that the durability and quality of the effect are also influenced by lifestyle, care and consistent adherence to post-procedure recommendations.
Recovery and post-procedure recommendations
Recovery goes most smoothly when you follow the recommendations closely. After the procedure you remain under the clinic’s care - in the first days, contact with a doctor is available, and we schedule follow-up visits until full healing and assessment of the effect. You receive clear instructions on care, activity and any supporting products in writing, so you know exactly what to expect at each stage of returning to form.
Safety, experience and trust
Safety is an absolute priority for us. Kinesiotaping is performed by Ilona Zalewska - a certified manual therapist and cosmetologist, with care for safety and an individual approach to the patient. Careful qualification, work in appropriate conditions and the team’s experience allow us to minimise risk and achieve repeatable, aesthetic results. In the field of manual therapy, not only technique matters, but also aesthetic sense and trust between patient and doctor - and that is exactly what we build Luna Clinic on every day.
Why Luna Clinic?
Luna Clinic is an intimate, boutique clinic where not only the result matters, but also comfort, discretion and a sense of safety. We carry out kinesiotaping with attention to every detail - from the first conversation, through the procedure itself, to post-procedure care. Patients choose us for the experience of our specialists, the individual approach and the natural, harmonious results. It matters to us that every person feels heard and well informed, which is why we present the real possibilities and limitations of the given method and choose the best solution together.
How to prepare for the procedure?
Good preparation translates directly into the course and the effect. Before kinesiotaping we conduct a qualification consultation, order tests if necessary and discuss the recommendations in detail - including which agents, stimulants or activities to avoid in the days preceding the procedure. You receive all the guidance clearly and in writing, and our team remains available should any additional questions arise. We always tailor the preparation plan individually, because every situation and every patient is different.
