K-Active therapy

The holistic view of the human body with its many physical links e.g. the skin, the fascia, the muscles, the meridians, etc. creates the therapeutic basis of the K-Active Taping. Anatomical knowledge, extensive sight and function findings by screening and muscle tests in connection with skin and fascia displacements are indispensable to grasp the dysfunctions in our body completely.

Central applications for example in the breast or stomach area already lead to general improvements of the body (body conditioning) and are the foundations for auto reparative processes. Local application techniques in areas of damaged structures as follows. The tests must be repeated to confirm the correct application.

Comfort and duration of application

Due to the special characteristics of the material and the correct application, the K-Active Tape guarantees an unrestricted feeling for the user within a few minutes after application. Activities of daily life such as work, sports or leisure are not restricted but supported by the bandage. The waterproof version allows the user to shower or bath without having to change the bandage.

The main benefits of the K-Active Taping can be evident within the first 3 to 5 days following application. It has often been observed, that a longer application led to positive effects with regard to the symptoms. Allergic reactions are rarely experienced and are often caused by previous or current medication as well as sometimes by heavy consumption of alcohol or nicotine.

Incorrect application techniques may also lead to negative reactions of the skin. The tape should therefore only be applied by a trained medical professional, or for long term therapy the patient may be shown how to apply.
