Hi Tzvetomira Dimitrova!
I am a physiotherapist and I use kinesiotaping for children with spasticity due to cerebral palsy. The results are very good and apear after a short time. So if you know someone in your area who knows aplying this tapes, go for it. The tapes are not that expensive, but buying them can be tricky…there are not many places where you can find them in europe…if you are from europe…
Best regards,
Cristi
