The Major Benefits Of The Kinesio Taping Method

By Bart Icles

It is now a well-known fact that the kinesio taping method is effective in alienating pain and is also able to facilitate the drainage of the lymphatic system. How? It works by lifting the skin in a structural manner. The adhesive portion of the kinesio tape forms convolutions on the skin and in the skin which allows the interstitial space to increase, resulting to pain slowly become dull and the lymphatic system to drain freely because it is able to take off the pressure on the injured areas.

These unique characteristics of the kinesio taping method made it really popular among all types of athletes, both amateur and professional. Because of the mechanisms behind how it was made and why it was made the way it is, whenever it is used, it never fails to exhibit its unique ability to increase the circulation, making it almost as if there are no injuries at all. Normally, once the kinesio taping method is apllied, the results are seen within a span of 24 hours.

The kinesio taping method is used mainly for support (chronic conditions, athletic activities, atrophy, etc.) and for rehabilitation (sprain, strain, muscle spasms, edema, etc.). It helps relax the muscles during contraction and as they contract, it pulls and stimulates the skin and the muscle to go back to their original positions, making sure that they are not overextended.

There are 4 major effects when you are using the kinesio taping method. For one, it enables the muscles to function correctly. Also, it improves the circulation of both the blood and the lymphatic system. It is also very effective in getting rid of the pain that are caused by different types of injuries. Lastly, but definitely not the least, it is able to correct the dislocation of joints.

Different shapes of the kinesio tape are involved in the kinesio taping method. These different shapes can best be applied at certain areas to enable faster healing or more effective support, whichever the aim of the user is. The different shapes are the I-shaped, the Y-shaped, the X-shaped, and the Fork-shaped kinesio tapes. Whichever shape that you need to use, you should make sure that the skin is dry and oil-free before applying it.

The kinesio taping method are effective for groin injuries, whiplash injuries, rotator cuff injuries, lower back spasms and strains, pre and postal surgical edema, joint injuries, and other types of injuries. It is also very effective in the prevention of these injuries from taking place. It is always useful to have them in stock.
