TAPING-TIP

Theoretical Background

As shown on the above pictures, in a healthy individual the blood and the lymph flow smoothly in the body. But in an unhealthy individual, they do not. To improve the health condition, the blood and lymphatic flows should be facilitated. This is the aim of the kinesiology taping method.

By applying an elastic and adhesive tape, the skin is lifted and a space that allows the blood and the lymph to flow smoothly is secured.

The kinesiology taping method is used to improve the blood and lymph circulation but it also aims to block the path of the pain to the brain.

The human body feels 5 kinds of main sensory stimulations and can detect many other stimuli.
The skin itself can detect warmth, cold, contact, pressure and pain.
The pain has more receptors than other stimuli but because its pathway to the brain is the narrowest, the speed of the pain to reach the brain is slower than the speed of other stimuli.

Our body can process one stimulus at a time.
By applying the tape on the skin on the painful area, we stimulate the sense of touch which will reach our brain faster than the sense of pain. The sense of pain will arrive later and therefore we feel less pain.

Normalizing the muscles functions.

Muscle can lose their capabilities for various reasons such as injuries, over-use, stress… But they can regain their original functions. The natural function of muscles is to contract.
Many people have felt muscle stiffness after a hard physical work or have not been able to find an adequate strength in muscles that are not used often. In these cases, stiff muscles (shorter than usual) or lengthened muscles (longer than usual) are not able to contract properly.
Attaching tape allows the muscles to regain their original state (normal muscle length) and so to be able to perform their regular functions

Making the blood and the lymph flow smoothly

If the blood and lymphatic flows are not smooth, the blood and the lymph remain in one place and create congestion.
In this case the nerves are pressed which causes pain and makes physical movement uncomfortable.
Taping lifts the skin and provides space that will allow the blood and lymph to flow smoothly again.

Relieving the pain

Taping has a pain reduction effect. When we are in pain, we naturally place our hand where we can feel the pain. By doing this, the pain seems to disappear. The pain is reduced through contact. (Please check the theoretical background explanations above for more details).

Correcting the twisted joints caused by extreme tensions

The joints are muscles which connect two bones and make them move.
Because of excessive tension or relaxation, the joint location may change. Taping helps the joints to return to their natural position by relieving the symptoms of excessive muscular stress. Athletes in particular can suffer from joint damage and location change. This can be prevented and restored through taping.
