Who Uses CureTape?
From physiotherapy clinics to sports fields and from rehabilitation centres to people taping themselves at home, CureTape® is used by a remarkably diverse group of people.
A remarkably diverse group of users
What they have in common is the need for a flexible tape that can provide support while allowing the body to continue moving naturally.
Today, CureTape is used by healthcare professionals, athletes and active individuals in more than 80 countries worldwide.
Trusted by Healthcare Professionals
CureTape has its roots in professional healthcare.
Physiotherapists were among the first professionals in Europe to start working with elastic therapeutic taping, and they remain one of the largest groups of CureTape users today. Healthcare professionals use kinesiology tape because it can be incorporated into a wide range of treatment and rehabilitation approaches while allowing patients to continue moving.

Who taps into CureTape, and why
Different users choose CureTape for different reasons, but the same properties keep coming back — support that moves with the body.
Physiotherapists & rehabilitation
Depending on their assessment and treatment goals, physiotherapists may use kinesiology tape alongside exercise therapy, rehabilitation, manual treatment and movement training. Because the tape is elastic, patients can generally continue moving the taped area and performing prescribed exercises while wearing it.
Sports professionals
Sports therapists, trainers, physiotherapists and massage therapists use kinesiology tape with both recreational and competitive athletes. Because CureTape is breathable, elastic and water resistant, athletes can continue training and moving while wearing the tape.
Professional & recreational athletes
You do not have to be a professional athlete to use kinesiology tape. Many recreational runners, cyclists, gym users and other active people use CureTape as part of their regular sports or recovery routine.
People going through rehabilitation
CureTape is regularly used during rehabilitation following musculoskeletal problems or periods of reduced activity, generally integrated by a healthcare professional into a wider programme of movement, exercise and treatment.
Lymphatic therapists
Kinesiology tape can also be used within specialised lymphatic taping techniques. The tape may be divided into multiple narrow strips and applied across a larger area of skin, often using narrower CureTape sizes.
Massage & manual therapists
The tape can remain on the skin after an appointment, continuing to provide a mechanical and sensory stimulus while the client returns to normal daily activities.
CureTape across many different sports
The tape can be seen across many different sports, and for more intensive sports applications, variants such as CureTape® Sports provide stronger adhesion than the original CureTape Classic.
Running and athletics
Football
Cycling
Tennis and racket sports

People Who Apply CureTape at Home
CureTape is not exclusively for healthcare professionals. Many people purchase kinesiology tape for personal use after first experiencing taping during physiotherapy, sports treatment or rehabilitation. There are also increasingly accessible taping instructions for straightforward applications, making it possible to learn certain techniques at home.
However, correct application remains important. The direction, shape and amount of stretch used can differ considerably between techniques. If you have an injury, persistent pain or an unexplained complaint, it is advisable to seek professional advice rather than relying on taping alone.
Good to know
For an injury, persistent pain or an unexplained complaint, always seek professional advice rather than relying on self-taping alone.

Different widths and formats are also available for specialised applications, allowing professionals and individual users to select a tape that suits the area and technique.
What Do Professionals Say About CureTape?
One of the most important characteristics for professional users is consistency. When a therapist applies tape to patients every day, they need to know how the material stretches, adheres and behaves on the skin.
Professional users frequently value CureTape for its combination of consistent elasticity, comfortable adhesion, ease of application and long-lasting wear. Experiences naturally differ between individuals and applications, but feedback from professionals has played an important role in the development of CureTape throughout its history.
Therapist Martina Link of Balance Your Life clinic has described her positive experience with CureTape, particularly highlighting skin tolerance, ease of application and the positive response she receives from her clients.
Used Around the World
What began with the introduction of elastic therapeutic taping to European healthcare professionals has developed into an international community of CureTape users.
Today, CureTape is available in more than 80 countries and is used by professionals and individual users in clinics, rehabilitation centres, sports facilities and homes around the world.
Despite the wide variety of applications, the underlying idea remains the same: a high-quality elastic tape designed to work with movement rather than against it.
Is CureTape Right for You?
You do not need to be a professional athlete or physiotherapist to use CureTape.
Whether you encounter kinesiology tape during physiotherapy, use it as part of your sport or learn an application for yourself, the most important thing is choosing the right tape and using the correct technique. For simple applications, self-taping may be possible with clear instructions. For more complex complaints and professional treatment, we recommend seeking advice from a trained healthcare professional.
Professionals, athletes and everyday users may use CureTape in different ways — but they all benefit from the same combination of flexibility, comfort and freedom of movement.
