After the mid-70s, Dr. It is a method developed by Kenzo Kase. The applied tapes have patented 'finger print' technology. These scars on elastic bands, which do not contain any medication or substance, cause some changes in the body. The correct taping technique must be chosen for these changes. Kinesiology taping is applied on the basis of supporting muscles, regulating the flow of body fluids, activating internal pain-relieving systems and eliminating joint problems.
It finds wide application areas, especially in pain. It can be used in many cases of muscle and tendon disorders such as neck, back and waist pain, meniscus tears and tennis elbow. It is preferred in the sports community because it does not contain any drugs or substances. It helps regulate the tension of the muscle and connective tissue in the area where it is applied, regulates the flow of lymphatic vessels and lymphatic drainage, thus reduces pain and helps restore muscle strength. It contributes to healing when used with physical therapy, especially after ligament, meniscus and tendon injuries in the shoulder and knee.
In this application, very thin tapes are used that do not irritate the skin, are very similar to human tissue, are porous and the main raw material is cotton. Kinesiotaping theoretically lifts the skin, increases the space between the skin and the muscles, and relieves the pressure in the area. Decreased pressure at the injury site results in increased blood circulation and thus lymphatic drainage occurs. This effect created in the circulatory system not only relieves the tension and sensitivity in the injury area, but also prevents the stimulation of pain receptors under the skin in the area, thus ensuring painless movement.
Rarely, the adhesive on the tape and the substances such as paint and cotton contained in the tape prevent the stimulation. allergy may develop. For people with allergies, this problem can be solved by taping after checking a small application area.
