Kinesio taping
What is kinesiology taping? From a medical point of view, it is a therapeutic process or method of treatment that involves applying a special elastic patch (kinesio tape) to injured areas of the body. Such a highly effective kinesiology tape improves blood circulation, reduces pain and promotes intensive healing of injuries.
Kinesio tape was developed almost half a century ago by the Japanese doctor Kenzo Kashi. The method provides constant support for muscles and ligaments, accelerates their independent healing without the use of medications – tablets, ointments. Initially, the kinesiology taping method was used by professional athletes as an alternative to various painkillers for injuries to muscles, joints and ligaments. Today, kinesiology taping is gaining increasing popularity among ordinary citizens living in European countries and the USA.
The kinesiology taping method is most often used in the following cases:
- arthritis;
- osteochondrosis;
- arthrosis, scoliosis, hernias, other diseases of the musculoskeletal system;
- bruises, hematomas, sprains and other types of injuries.
The principle of action of kinesiotherapy and the effects of its use:
Kinesio tape is glued to the injured or diseased area of the body and left there for some time. Usually this period is from 3 to 5 days.
Kinesio taping – there are no negative effects, the treatment is convenient and effective. You can simply stick the patch on the sore spot and go about your business. You will not have to be distracted by taking pills or rubbing ointment, the patch works all the time. In the process of applying kinesio tapes to the damaged muscle or joint, different tape tension is used, which improves blood circulation and models the muscle-fascial segment. Therefore, kinesio taping, especially in combination with other methods of treating injuries, has a simply amazing effect:
- reduces pain;
- removes swelling in the damaged area;
- contributes to the localization of the inflammatory process and, subsequently, its complete elimination;
- takes on part of the load on the damaged muscle or joint.
