Lymph Taping using the CureTape method from Holland

Lymph Taping is a part of the Medical Taping Concept and is very well suited to stimulate lymphatic drainage.  Medical taping began in the 1970s in Asia. The body’s own recovery process is stimulated by applying an elastic tape material. The special tape has the same elasticity as the skin and by applying the tape in accordance with the anatomy of the lymphatic system as well as positioning the body in a way that the tape is stretched, lymphatic drainage is stimulated 24 hours a day. The tape lifts the skin a little through which the lumen of the lymph capillaries are opened. The pressure on the blood vessels is reduced. Moreover, the tape becomes a conductor of interstitial fluid.
