If you have ever seen colourful tapes placed on an athlete’s shoulder, knee, or back and wondered “What is that and does it really work?”, you are not alone. That technique is called Kinesiotaping, and when used correctly by trained physiotherapists, it can be a powerful support tool in recovery and movement correction.
At Anandi’s Physiotherapy, Kinesiotaping in Nagpur is used as part of a personalised rehabilitation plan to reduce pain, support healing, improve posture, and allow your body to move more freely, without restricting motion.
