Starting June 1, 2025, a new type of treatment—kinesiotaping—will be introduced at the Sanatorium Sosnovy Bor. This method of physiotherapy involves applying special elastic tapes made from cotton and coated with hypoallergenic adhesive to the patient’s skin in a specific manner. The mechanism of action is based on creating favorable conditions for the body’s self-recovery.
The procedure normalizes microcirculation in connective tissue and subcutaneous adipose tissue, improves blood circulation and lymph flow, reduces pain syndrome, and restores functional muscle activity. Kinesiotaping is widely used in sports medicine for rehabilitation after injuries and surgeries, as well as in everyday life for injury prevention and improving quality of life.
Indications for Use:
- Rheumatology – arthrosis, arthritis.
- Orthopedics – scoliosis, juvenile kyphosis, achillobursitis, varus deformity of the shins in children.

- Gynecological conditions – lymphatic drainage disorders in varicose disease and post-mastectomy, algomenorrhea.
