Mechanism of Kinesio taping in reducing pain

Kinesio tape is a stretchy band that creates a space between skin, tissues, and joints. It reduces joint irritation, pain, and swelling. The sticky and stretch tape mimics your skin and holds joints without limiting the movement. It is made of cotton and nylon to protect your skin from irritation or rashes.

The adhesive doesn’t allow to get the tape to loosen by water or sweat. It enhances blood circulation and positions the tissue and muscles. It also supports the injured area to recover at the earliest. Therefore, recovery and performance of the body part reinstate.

It potently reduces muscle fatigue by contraction and relaxation process. With the increase in blood flow, fast-twitch muscles generate torque and relieve pain.

Kinesio taping can recover the following health conditions:

• Injuries

Points to remember

• Don’t use this tape in the area where your skin has any wounds, rashes, sunburns, or scrapes.
• The adhesive on the tape won’t get well fixed in case your skin surface has oil or moisture on it. Therefore wash the skin before applying the tape.
• It is advisable to shave or trim the excessive hairs on the skin to ensure better adhesion.
• Round up all the edges to ensure no flaking of the tape.
• Apply the heat-sensitive adhesive by rubbing it up and down.
• Do not do any exercise or activities that can generate sweat within one hour of applying the tape. Avoid swimming or showering in this one hour.
