What does kinesiology tape do?

Many people like to use kinesiology tape on the main parts of the body during exercise, to promote muscle contraction or help the muscles to perform their due function. And during the recovery period of non-exercise, the muscles can recover and repair muscles due to excessive contraction or the damage caused by overstretching can relax the muscles, which is called muscle relaxation taping.

How does it work?

     ①Kinesiology tape pulls up the skin and expands the subcutaneous space. The generation of wrinkles creates a gap between the skin and subcutaneous tissues, so that the blood and lymph circulation of the corresponding tissues is more unblocked, the exudate from the damaged part is easily absorbed, and the fluid retention between the tissues is reduced, the local pressure is reduced, and the damaged tissue is easily reconstruction, so as to relieve pain and discomfort symptoms and accelerate the recovery of injury.

     ②Sports muscle tape supports and stabilizes muscles, ligaments, joints and other tissues. Because of its high elasticity and does not restrict the normal activities of the limbs, the muscle tape plays a better role in protection, support and stability during exercise. But objectively speaking, its fixation effect is not as good as that of traditional sports tapes, but its feature of not restricting movement is incomparable to traditional tapes.

     ③The elastic retraction effect of the kinesiology tape patch has a positive adjustment effect on muscles, fascia, ligaments, and joints. Kinesiology tape can produce tiny stimuli on unbalanced muscles, fascia, ligaments, and joints, so the body itself is constantly positively adjusted under external stimuli and tends to a new balance, thereby relieving symptoms.

     ④Kinesiology tape can achieve mechanical stimulation of skin surface mechanics. By stimulating the surface of the skin and its receptor receptors, it can excite or inhibit the central nervous system to achieve analgesic effects.

⑤Kinesiology tape has the function of adjusting the temperature of the sticking part. It can regulate the skin's constant temperature by promoting blood circulation and lymphatic reflux.

     ⑥The changes in the surface pressure of the sticking site have a benign stimulating effect on the body. When a part of the body is hit or there is pain for other reasons, the most instinctive reaction is to hold (or cover, or press) the painful part to relieve the pain. Muscle stickers hold the painful area like a hand, which makes the patient feel safe, pain relieved and comfortable.
