MTC® Handbook – Medical Kinesiology Taping

Harry Pijnappel, physiotherapist and Medical Taping instructor with CureTape since 1999, shares his expertise in this 192-page full-colour manual, designed to bring the Medical Taping Concept to life for professionals. Recognised as one of the key founders of the concept, Pijnappel combines practical know-how with clear theory to help you apply taping effectively.

The book opens with a deep dive into the effects of CureTape, covering swelling, pain, itching, lymphatic function, and muscle tone. It also includes a detailed section on fascia, showing exactly how tape interacts with fascial structures.

The second part focuses on practical applications: from basic taping techniques to advanced strategies for a wide range of pathologies, including orthopaedic and organ-related conditions. With over 400 full-colour images, every technique is explained step by step, ready to use in your practice.

Originally written in English, the manual has been translated into German, French, Polish, and Russian, making it a trusted resource worldwide. It’s the perfect study guide and reference tool for physiotherapists, lymph and skin therapists, physicians, sports massage therapists, podotherapists, and other healthcare professionals.
