Top 5 Benefits of Kinesiology Taping Therapy

Kinesiology tape is a type of thin, flexible bandage that works to enhance athletic performance and helps in muscle movements. It is good for reducing swelling, inflammation, and pain treatment, and provides support to joints and muscles. The tape is very elastic in nature, allowing the body to move easily, which is far different from rigid rehabilitation tapes that primarily serve adhesive functions in the body.

 Kinesiology Taping Therapy is particularly effective for keeping muscles and joints in place after an injury and aiding in recovery. It is also beneficial for activating muscles and regulating their contraction. According to a 2022 survey, a large number of physiotherapists are using kinesiology taping for post-injury treatment, muscle activation, and pain reduction. Additionally, professionals have been using kinesiology taping for athletes for centuries.

How kinesiology Tape Works 

Kinesiology taping is really stretchy in nature and is composed of a blend of nylon and cotton. It is designed in a way to enhance skin elasticity to allow you a full range of motion. This tape is designed by experts in water resistance and is strong enough to stay there for 4 to 5 days at least. When our physiotherapists at NBR clinic apply this tape to your body it slightly lifts the skin upward. 

And creates a microscopic space between your skin and soft tissues beneath it. By which it works to treat the conditions for which it is created. From the reviews of some people who used it it was declared that it created a space between skin and joints of the knee after its application.

One more change that this tape creates is the changing of signals reaching our nervous system. From a study, it was observed all the tissues like our skin, muscles, joints, and fascia contain sensory receptors that detect signals of pain, temperature, and touch. This tape affects the receptors and addresses the issues of the body. 

Benefits of Kinesiology Tape 

Treat Injuries 

Now physiotherapists are using kinesiology tape to treat injuries caused by different reasons. We have created an overall treatment plan for people dealing with injuries by kinesiology tape. According to research by the American Health Association, kinesiology tape is really effective when being used after manual therapy. But we are using it to address swelling, inflammation, and pain. By application of gentle pressure, it works to dissipate pain at all. 

Re-Educating Muscles

If your muscle has lost their functions due to overuse or some other reason we are helping to re-train your muscles with the application of kinesiology tape. After a little treatment by it they will start to have healthy working. Like if you want to improve the posture of your neck or head kinesiology tape is the best option for that.

 Even patients of stroke are improving their walk by using the kinesiology tape. When physiotherapists apply this tape to your body you can have a type of strange sensation that gives you the right track that how you have to stand or walk. Regardless of posture if you feel fatigue of tightness of your muscles you can correct that with it as well. That protects them from over-contraction, cramping, and over-extension. 

Enhance Performance 

Now athletes are using kinesiology taping to enhance their performance by optimal protection from injuries. Like a number of runners use it to maximize their productivity. Before running athletes apply it above the glute, which helps muscles to keep walking and running.

In addition, kinesiology tape provides support to unstable joints and puts pressure on the sleeping muscles. With this pressure walk muscles keep active and give higher performance. Our program of kinesiology tape is designed to serve your body with support and stability. By which you become more efficient and independent. 

Improves Blood Circulation 

To maintain the activity of our lymphatic system it is essential to regularize the blood and fluid circulation of the body. Actually pain at different parts of the body causes swelling. But dysfunctions of normal body metabolism also creates different problems in the body. That results in inflammation, scares or pain.

When we apply kinesiology tape on a particular part of your body, it creates a little space between the skin and soft tissues that allows fluids to pass easily through it and maintains body mechanisms. 

Comfort Than Braces and Wraps 

Braces and wraps are designed to treat muscle injuries. If you find any of them uncomfortable you can use kinesiology taping to treat that. As all the kinds of other tapes restrict their movements this kind of wrapping supports your movement and healthy activity. When you apply kinesiology tape on your skin, everything will be in regulation. But whenever you use it apply it for some particular days as recommended.

That supports our weaker limbs and risk of injury is reduced up to the mark. Moreover, now professional dancers are also using kinesiology tape to prevent primary and secondary injuries during dance. If you want to rebuild your muscles or reduce muscle spasms kinesiology tape is always the best option to take from professionals of the NBR clinic.
