What is the therapeutic tape?

Therapeutic tape is an elastic product that is not a latex used therapists to treat neuromuscular conditions. Japanese doctor, Dr. Kenzo Kase developed a treatment method in the age of 70. Therapists believe that the treatment of the tape gently repairs circulation and mechanical function and that the recording process helps to prevent injury and helps current injuries in treatment. Manufacturers suggest a tape for general use or for specific body areas.

through his research in kinesiology, study of body movement, Dr. The case found that the application of elastic tapes to the original and inserting areas of the affected muscles improves, while pain and inflammation decreased. He believed that therapeutic treatment inhibits the reaction pain because the feeling caused by a decrease prevents neurons from sending signals to the brain. It also claims that the tape microscopically lifts the skin, provides space for swollen tissues and improves blood and lymphatic drainage and circulation, while reducing inflammation and swelling.

Using the therapeutic tape, the therapists often place the poisonReceived strips along muscle pathways in samples of x or y shape. Configuration used in different types of treatment of therapeutic tape in hundreds. Therapists use techniques for acute and chronic injuries and during rehabilitation exercise. Because treatment does not inhibit or restrict physical movement, patients usually wear the tape continuously for two to five days, regardless of physical activity or exposure to moisture.

Before applying the therapeutic tape therapists perform a thorough physical and verbal evaluation of the patient. Physical examination reveals the extent of injury and type of treatment. Verbal evaluation provides essential information about how injury occurred and whether the basic conditions caused the event. The aim of the therapeutic recording is to repeat the neuromuscular system so that normal function returns.

Tape manufacturers usually offer classes for therapists who are interested in learningMethod of therapeutic recording. Kinesio Taping® International Association is the only organization providing training and certification in this method. The organization has associations around the world and offers three levels.

The

tape generally consists of approximately 97% cotton and 3% nylon. However, manufacturers produce different types of tape that differ in width and length. Individuals can buy tape in continuous or roles with predecessors, serrated strips. Some packages contain pre -configured patterns. There is also a special type of tape with a milder glue for fragile or sensitive skin.
