Kinesio taping

During pregnancy and after the birth, kinesio taping can help with a range of complaints. I apply the tape in your home.

What is kinesio taping?

Kinesio tapes are elastic cotton strips that are stuck onto the skin. During pregnancy and after the birth they can help with a range of complaints.

We talk it through calmly beforehand to see whether taping suits you. I apply the tape in your home and show you what to look out for.

Costs: Kinesio taping is usually not covered by health insurance. I will tell you the costs in advance.

During pregnancy it can help with

  • Neck and back pain
  • Symphysis and pelvic pain
  • Sciatica
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome

After the birth it can help with

  • Tension, especially in the neck
  • Pelvic floor recovery and diastasis recti
  • Caesarean scar
  • Blocked ducts and mastitis

What does it cost and what does health insurance cover?

Midwifery care during pregnancy and after the birth is covered by German statutory health insurance. After the first twelve weeks it covers visits depending on the reason, for example breastfeeding, or on a doctor's prescription. If you have private insurance or receive Beihilfe, please check reimbursement with your insurer beforehand. Kinesio taping is usually not covered. We are happy to discuss the details in person.

Will you visit me at home?

I visit families in Reutlingen and many places around it, for example Metzingen, Pliezhausen, Kirchentellinsfurt or Neckartenzlingen. You will find all places on the home page on the yellow town signs. Your town is not listed? Ask me anyway, sometimes it works out.

Do you still have room around my due date?

That depends on how many families I am caring for around your due date. I keep my availability up to date on MidiAid, where you can check it. You are also welcome to write to me directly and we will sort it out in person.

Send me a short message about your complaints. We will talk calmly about whether taping suits you.
