Is kinesiology tape really effective?

Many people who love sports, athletes, are very keen on sports to use kinesiology tape, so is kinesiology tape really effective? People who have not been in contact with and understood will have such questions. The kinesiology tape was invented by the Japanese Dr. Kenso Kase in 1973. It is an elastic patch that can be used to treat sports injuries and some other diseases. It has been widely used in sports medicine and rehabilitation medicine. . The cloth surface of the kinesiology tape is made of waterproof elastic cloth, the glue is medical acrylic glue, and the rubber surface is corrugated and does not completely cover the cloth surface. The thickness and air permeability are similar to human skin, which can be used to reduce edema, improve circulation, support, training, relax soft tissues, reduce inflammation, and reduce pain.

Can a little kinesiology tape really work?

Studies have shown that muscle sticking is effective in improving the body's static balance ability, proprioceptive function and the range of motion of damaged joints, and has a positive effect on preventing and improving sports fatigue.

The main function of kinesiology tape:

1. Improve muscles: Kinesiology tape will exert different forces on the skin and fascia under different sticking directions. When sticking from the starting point to the ending point of the muscle, the pulling force acting on the skin and the direction of muscle contraction are the same. It can produce the effect of promoting muscle contraction; on the contrary, when sticking from the dead point of the muscle to the starting point, the opposite pulling force will be produced, and the effect of preventing muscle contracture and promoting stretching is achieved. The increase in muscle strength may also be due to the sensory input of the elastic patch on the skin causing nerve reflexes, so that more motor units can be recruited when the muscles contract at maximum force.

2. Pain relief: the kinesiology tape itself is flexible, and when the muscles are attached to the skin, the skin and muscles are stimulated at the same time. At the same time, it also increases the gap between the skin and the muscles and directly reduces the stimulation of subcutaneous pain receptors.

3. Improve joint mobility: Actively move under the condition of sticking muscle performance sticking, the blood circulation of the sticking part is accelerated, the tense muscles are relaxed, the sensory input of the person being stuck is increased, and the pain and psychological fear are alleviated. , Thereby improving joint mobility.

4. Posture correction: by reducing abnormal muscle tension, re-adjusting the joints, helping the reconstruction of fascia and muscle function, and achieving the effect of fascia and mechanics correction;

5. Enhance proprioception: Muscle stickers stimulate skin mechanoreceptors through pressure and tension on the skin, thereby enhancing joint position and movement sense, strengthening proprioception input, and achieving the purpose of regulating nerve and skeletal muscle activity.

Of course, the effect of kinesiology tape is largely determined by the technology of kinesiology tape. When tape is applied, it is necessary to fully consider the position of the tape, the position of the limbs, the cut shape of the tape, and the starting point of the tape (also called anchor). Point), the degree of stretch of the patch, and whether single-layer or multi-layer posting is used.
