13 Use an innovative approach to treat your patients with LEUKOTAPE K Pain Relief Technique by Improving Sensory Function Muscle Function Lymphatic Function Joint Function Elastic Adhesive Tape

14 Neuro-Proprioceptive Taping with LEUKOTAPE K Small Tape with Large Effect Leukotape K, used with the Neuro-Proprioceptive Taping Technique, is a flexible tape which is applied directly on the skin in the affected area. You can feel it work after a few minutes, as the pain decreases. Skin activated to Reduce Pain The Neuro-Proprioceptive Taping gives the patient double-action pain relief. Firstly, pain is registered in the body by neuro-receptors. Neuro-Proprioceptive Taping Technique interrupts the pain signal to the brain. The pain disappears and/or diminishes. The second is to improve the blood circulation in the affected area by the wave pattern of adhesive. The tape lifts the skin, decongests the lymphatic fluid and blood and so the healing process is accelerated. What can Neuro-Proprioceptive Taping do for your patients? Many painful conditions can be treated successfully with NPT, depending on the technical applications such as Inhibition, Facilitation, Support and Correction: 4Epicondylitis 4Patellofemoral Syndrom 4Shin Splint 4Achilles Tendinitis 4Plantar Fasciitis 4Lymphoedema and more We can show you How!
