The Principle Of Using Kinesiology athletic tape

Does a small muscle sticker really have such a powerful function?

Kinesiology athletic tape has a certain degree of elasticity, but its elasticity is smaller than that of human muscles. Their main function is to immobilize and protect the muscles. Therefore, after the athlete puts the kinesiology athletic tape on the injured muscle, the skin is pulled by the muscle tape, which increases the gap between the subcutaneous tissue and the muscle, thereby promoting the blood circulation and lymphatic return of the tissue, reducing pain and speeding up the movement. Speed of recovery from muscle damage.

At the same time, kinesiology athletic tape can also enhance the contraction ability of damaged muscles to a certain extent, eliminate local pain, reduce muscle hyperextension, reduce muscle fatigue and spasms, and protect already fragile muscles.

For non-athletes, muscle tape can also be used for conditions such as muscle soreness and strains. However, it should be noted that the ligation must be performed along the direction of the muscle and the sports anatomy of the specific part, and should be performed with the help of a professional sports medicine and rehabilitation doctor, or under their guidance.

At the same time, before bandaging, the banding site needs to be cleaned, kept dry at room temperature, and then the muscle tape is directly attached to the skin. Do not stretch the muscle patch to its limit and do not touch the adhesive side of the tape.
