Physiological Effects of Kinesio tape

Muscle stretch and contract constantly within a physiological range of motion. However, if the muscles are stretched or contracted in excess, as when happens when we lift excessive load, it can happen that the muscles can not recover and become inflamed . When a muscle is inflamed , swollen, or contracts due to fatigue, the space between the skin and muscle is compressed , resulting in a restriction of blood flow and lymphatic circulation . This compression is what makes the person causes pain. This type of pain is known as myalgia or muscle pain.

To ensure that the muscles have free range of motion , recommended Kinesio Tape with an elasticity of 130-140 % of its original length. This specific elasticity simultaneously prevent overstretching of muscles.

It is recommended to use special strips Kinesio Tape, which meet the specific conditions required . These physiological properties meet so as to allow joint mobility free form allowing the body to initiate self-healing processes .

Tape Kinesio relieves pain and facilitates lymph drainage through the skin lifting a microscopic level. Convoluted form on the skin to increase the interstitial space. The result is that the decrease in pressure causes no longer stimulate the pain receptors and stop sending nociceptive stimuli through the nervous system , so that the pain disappears . The decrease in interstitial pressure turn promotes lymphatic drainage, lymphatic and facilitating removing waste substances
.
The Kinesio Taping attributed four main functions:


1 - . MUSCLE SUPPORT

- Improved muscle contraction in the muscle weakened
- Reduces muscle fatigue
- Reduces hyperextension and muscle hypercontraction
- Increase range of motion
- Relieves pain


2 - . ELIMINATING CONGESTION TO PROMOTE MOVEMENT OF BODY FLUIDS

- Improves blood circulation and lymphatic
- Reducing the excess heat and facilitating the removal of waste substances
- Reduces inflammation
- Reduce the sensation of pain in muscle and skin


3 - . ENDOGENOUS PAIN ACTIVE SYSTEMS

- Enables the spinal inhibitory system
- Activates the overall inhibitory


4 - . JOINT FIX PROBLEMS

- Normalizes muscle tone
- Adjusts muscle detours caused by uncontrolled hypertension
- Relieves joint pain
- Improves range of motion
