Kinesis tape. Original kinesio tape tape at the lowest price

Used for rehabilitation in sports medicine, they are also called a sports patch. Elastic tape is used for pain, inflammation, swelling and disorders of the musculoskeletal system, rehabilitation, supports joints and muscles, improves blood circulation. The effect of the tape corresponds to the elasticity and density of human skin.

Kinesio tape(kinesio - movement, teip - tape) is an elastic tape made of high-quality cotton, covered with an acrylic-based hypoallergenic adhesive gel, the adhesive gel is activated by body temperature. The tapes are breathable, elastic and skin-friendly when worn. It adheres to the body, stretches and shrinks again without discomfort for the skin and muscles. The elasticity of tapes allows them to be stretched by 30-40% of their original length. In terms of thickness and elasticity, they are close to the properties of human skin (epidermis). The cotton base of the tapes promotes better evaporation and breathing of the skin, as well as quick drying of the tape, which makes it possible to use it when taking a bath or shower.

Kinesio tape patches are used: with headaches, back pain, joint pain, muscle pain syndromes, impaired lymphatic drainage.

Unlike plaster and other dressings, kinesio tape plasters (kinesio tape) treat injuries and diseases of the musculoskeletal system with the help of movements.

METHODS FOR APPLYING KINESIO TAPE PATCHES

The overlay method is called Kinesiology taping., impose:
- along the lines of the muscles to reduce pain when stretching or overstraining the muscles;
- reduction of muscle inflammation;
- to relax overstressed and tired muscles;
- to support muscles and ligaments.

Effects of the Kinesio Tape patch:

Action on muscles and muscle attachment sites;
- Action on skin sensors;
- Action on blood circulation and lymph flow;
- Maintaining the function of the joints;
- Improving the stabilization of the joints;
- Action on meridians and acupuncture points
- Action on scars;
- Action on internal organs.

Kinesio tape (muscle patch) are used not only by professional athletes, but also by ordinary people.

The patches are applied to the damaged area from the proximal end of the muscle to the distal end for support and from the distal end to the proximal end for rehabilitation and treatment.

The main mechanism in the work of tapes is the modeling of the muscular-fascial segment, which occurs due to a certain tension and special gluing of tapes.

When applying the application, the skin, subcutaneous tissue, fascial formations, muscles, ligaments are affected. During movement, the human skin rises above the muscles and ligaments, which creates additional interstitial space and facilitates lymphatic drainage. With the help of a tape, the top layer of the skin - the epidermis, is slightly raised. This helps to increase, increase blood and lymph flow, which reduces pain. In addition, the tape does not lose its function for several days, even if you get wet or take a shower.

It is important that this taping method does not impede movement and allows athletes to continue training and compete - while conventional taping methods involve fixation of the joints and are intended only for stabilization and support.

In addition, Kinesio tapes can be used for a wide range of therapy: they are used in post-traumatic rehabilitation, treatment of the spine, knees, shoulder joints, lower back, osteochondrosis, ankle and other parts of the body.

KINESIO TAPE PATCHES, INSTRUCTIONS:

There are several ways to apply kinesio tapes.

Unstretched shape. Before applying the tape, the damaged muscle and the skin above it are passively stretched. After applying an unstretched tape, the skin, muscle and ligaments contract and return to their original position, which leads to the formation of skin folds. Thus, the skin rises above the muscles and ligaments, which creates additional interstitial space and facilitates lymphatic drainage.

Stretched shape. If the ligaments or muscles are injured and unable to stretch, the second application method is used - Kinesio tape is stretched before application to the skin. Due to its elasticity, the tape shrinks and forms folds on the skin and at the same time supports the injured area.

The basic principle of taping Kinesio is the following: the tape should not be applied strictly straight, and it should not be too loose or too tight. It is advisable to stretch the part of the body on which the tape will be applied as much as possible before applying it, if this is not possible, it should be stretched a little.

Tape stretches only along the length, so they are always cut and pasted only along.

Several general rules: for local pain, kinesiotape should be applied with slight tension to the entire affected area, while it should be borne in mind that the ends (about 5 cm) should be left with little tension. To create a "buffer zone". When using the Kinesio tape, it is placed between the 1st and 2nd fingers, the inner textile protective film is removed, stretched, and glued onto the patient's body.

All of you have probably already seen interesting colored plasters pasted on the body of athletes or ordinary people, wondering - what is it and why were they pasted? In this article, we will detail and answer all common questions regarding this effective means of rehabilitation, which is gaining more and more popularity in all corners of the world. Kinesio Tape is an innovative, drug-free patch in a variety of colors to relieve pain and support injured muscles and joints. Kinesio taping or kinesio taping is a unique method developed in Japan in the mid 70s to stimulate the body to use the natural healing process of injured areas without the use of pills, ointments or any other pharmaceutical products. Over the past few years, the advantages of using this technique in addition to existing therapies have become apparent, thanks to which completely new results are achieved in the fields of rehabilitation and sports medicine.

Kinesio tapes are used to treat and relieve pain in injuries of various origins: bruises, dislocations, swelling, sprains, osteochondrosis, arthritis, cerebral palsy and various disorders of the musculoskeletal system. The method of kinesio taping has received growing recognition every year in such areas as: traumatology, sports medicine, rheumatology, pediatrics, manual therapy, cosmetology.

Kinesio tape - what is this patch and how does it work?

As mentioned above, kinesio tape is a special tape, similar to a patch, made of 100% cotton, nylon or rayon, which does not contain any drugs or medicines. Only a special acrylic hypoallergenic glue is applied to the entire surface of the tape in a wave-like layer. Unlike bandage and classic sports tape, kinesio tape has an elasticity that is as close as possible to the elasticity of human skin (it has the ability to stretch up to 190% of its original value). Thanks to this elasticity and the special structure of the tape, the effects described below are achieved from the use of this patch. The properties of kinesio tape are such that a person almost does not feel it, and freedom of movement is not limited in any way. Moreover, it can be worn around the clock (within 3-5 days), while continuing to play sports or any other motor activity. Hence the name of this miracle remedy: "kinesio" is translated as "movement", and "tape" - "tape", i.e. a tape that does not restrict your movement and at the same time has a permanent healing effect, mobilizing only your body's own resources for a speedy recovery. It's hard to imagine a more intense form of therapy!

In the process of applying kinesiology tape, pain relief and healing effects as a result of improved blood circulation and lymph movement in the injured area. The patch lifts the skin, reduces pressure and facilitates blood circulation, thereby allowing injured muscles to “relax”. In addition, when combined with the natural movements of the body, it stretches and massages the skin, as well as providing ongoing support to injured joints and muscles. This improves lymph flow and reduces pain.

Which patch is best?

To date, there is a large selection of tapes of various brands, however, not all of them meet the stated characteristics for kinesio tapes to achieve maximum results. Due to increased demand, many tapes are now made in China, which negatively affects the quality of these tapes and the materials used in them, and greatly increases the risk of skin irritation or allergies after applying such tapes. Therefore, experts recommend using tapes only from proven brands; kinesio tapes from South Korea and Japan are considered the best. in these countries, product quality is carefully controlled at all stages of production.

How to properly apply kinesio tape?

To achieve the effects described above from the use of kinesio tapes, first of all, you need to familiarize yourself with the basic rules for applying or sticking this unique drug-free patch. Below is a list of recommendations for preliminary preparation and proper gluing of tapes, without knowledge and observance of which it is unlikely that you will be able to get the maximum results from the use of kinesiology tapes:

  • The skin area to be applied with Kinesio Tape must be clean and dry. For better adhesion of the tape to the skin and for the application to last as long as possible, it is recommended to first degrease the skin at the place of gluing with an alcohol-containing solution or special wipes, and then let it dry.
  • Next, you need to cut off a strip of the required length and shape from the roll and remove the protective film.
  • For better fixation of tapes on the skin, it is recommended to round the edges of the application.
  • Important! The first and last 5 cm of kinesio tape (the so-called "anchors") are always applied to the skin without stretching!
  • It is necessary to bend the joint on which the kinesio tape is applied, so that the muscles are in a taut state, and apply a patch along the entire length. The tape is usually fixed on pre-stretched skin (muscles) with little or no stretching of 10-15%. In case of an injury, when the affected area cannot be stretched, and to provide support for the ligaments and joints, the tape is fixed with a tension not exceeding 50%!
  • After applying the application, it is necessary to carefully rub the surface of the patch with your hand to activate the wave-like adhesive layer. Thus, the tape will be more securely fixed on the skin and will last longer.
  • And lastly, kinesio tape can be worn around the clock for 3-5 days. With it, you can take any water procedures and exercise in your usual mode. Throughout this time, it has a therapeutic, supportive and analgesic effect.


After you have pasted the tape, using the above recommendations and instructions for kinesio tape, which is necessarily attached to each roll of kinesio tape BBTapé ™ and where you will find step by step instructions for sticking a patch for the main, most common injuries and pain syndromes, you need to know the following rules for using the tape:

  • Kinesio tape is water resistant, so you can shower and swim without fear of flaking. For those who are actively involved in water sports and during intense training, accompanied by profuse sweating, it is recommended to use. This series has been specially designed for extreme loads, in which ordinary tapes can come off.
  • After showering and water workouts, the surface of the Kinesio Tape should be lightly blotted with something dry to dry it. Do not rub under any circumstances!
  • If the ends of the patch began to peel off, they must be carefully cut off, or a new application should be applied.
  • If you are engaged in regular sports training, apply kinesio tape at least 30 minutes before training.
  • Kinesio tape can be applied on top of the hair with a small hairline so as not to damage the adhesive layer. If there is a risk of damage to the adhesive layer, it is recommended to shave off the hair from the area on the body before applying.
  • If you feel severe itching or severe skin irritation after applying the application, you should immediately remove the kinesio tape. This reaction may be due to hypersensitivity of the skin or individual intolerance to acrylic, which consists of the adhesive layer of the patch. A slight redness of the skin or itching is normal and is due to the effect of the tape on skin receptors! In case of severe itching and redness, we recommend using instead of the standard kinesio tape, designed specifically for children and people with very sensitive skin.

How to remove kinesio tape?

After sticking on trinjured areaKinesio tapes have the maximum therapeutic and analgesic effect during the first few days of wearing, after which it is recommended to renew the application. To remove the patch from the skin correctly and as painlessly as possible, follow these recommendations:

  • One of the most common myths about the use of this tool is the statement that the tape is best removed in the shower after it has been soaked with water. Taping specialists and professional athletes do not recommend soaking the tape with water before removing it from the skin. this can lead to reddening of the skin at the site of application and the remnants of the adhesive layer on the skin, which will be difficult to get rid of.
  • Instead of wetting the tape with water, it is recommended to soak the entire surface of the application before removing it. These products effectively deactivate the adhesive base while moisturizing the skin and preventing irritation. After you have impregnated the kinesio tape with a special agent, you must wait a few minutes and then carefully remove the patch, in no case tearing it off with sudden movements.
  • If you do not use a special tape remover, you must adhere to the following rules: remove the patch in the direction of hair growth with careful, smooth movement at a slight angle. After removing the kinesio tape, it is recommended to moisturize the skin with a cream or other means.

Indications for the use of kinesio tape

The main indications for the use of kinesio tapes, in which the maximum therapeutic and analgesic effect is achieved, include:

Bruises, sprains, dislocations, tears, inflammation of muscles, joints and tendons. Hematomas and edema of various origins. Pain in muscles and joints.

Cicatricial changes in the skin. Menstrual pains. Tension headache.

The list of indications and diseases in which it is possible to achieve a significant improvement in the condition with the help of kinesio tapes and taping techniques is steadily increasing every year. This is due to the effectiveness of this non-invasive drug-free method of treatment.

Kinesio tape (adhesive elastic low extensibility tape bandage) is an elastic cotton tape developed on an adhesive basis, which is used in sports medicine for rehabilitation after injuries.

Kinesiology tape is able to relieve pain, reduce swelling and significantly speed up the process of recovery of the damaged joint. Tape is able to cure joint or muscle pain, without the use of ointments and tablets.

Kinesiology tape is necessary so that even in the presence of any injury, it is possible to achieve the goal and obtain a positive result.

By sticking the patch on the damaged muscle, it will take over part of its muscle function, allowing recovery without undue stress. Glue is activated by body temperature. The unique structure of the bandage makes it similar to human skin.

The action of kinesiobint occurs at a microscopic level, it reduces pressure and pain, as if lifting the skin over the injured area. After application, the normalization of muscle functions occurs, the muscles move into a more relaxed state, and disappears.

Purposes of use

Purpose of using the patch:

  • improvement of blood circulation and lymph flow;
  • relief of pain;
  • relaxation of hypertonicity or to stimulate muscle hypotonicity;
  • muscle protection from overload;
  • to relieve inflammatory processes;
  • to stabilize joints.

The advantages of this patch are also that it is able to accelerate the regeneration of muscles and ligamentous apparatus.

Kinesio plaster fixes the muscles for an unlimited time without limiting mobility. When using them, you do not have to use additional bandages or dressings.

How is Kinesio Taping Different from Traditional Bandages?

The kinesio patch differs from traditional sports tapes in that it can be left on the skin for a week, but re-use of one tape is not provided.

Sports tape can be used repeatedly, which will reduce costs if the athlete only needs to fix non-injured joints or tendons for a short time during training or performance.

Unlike a conventional elastic bandage, which fixes the muscles and joints, thereby interfering with the normal functioning of the ligaments, reducing the range of motion and leading to numbness, kinesio tape does not create any obstacles to blood circulation and does not restrict movement.

The bandage must be removed immediately at the end of the workout, as it can cause skin irritation and even drying out of the muscles. Tape, on the other hand, allows the skin to breathe, it is not visible under clothes and there is no need to remove it even while taking a bath. Unlike similar products, it is hypoallergenic.

Features and overlay methods

In order to determine the quality of the tape, you need to look at how the roll unwinds. It should unwind to the very end without jerks and tension, part of the tape should come off without any effort. When applied to the skin, do not form air folds and stick easily and in a timely manner.

The most important thing in handling this tape is the need to know the muscle anatomy, as you will have to figure out where in the bone or joint the damaged muscle is attached.

The patch must be glued so that the muscle is pulled along the fibers. One overlay is used for four to six days. The maximum effect will be achieved when the elasticity of the patch is 50-70%.

In order to properly apply the teip, you need to:

  1. Determine the purpose for which it is being done. With muscular and patch, it is recommended to apply around the perimeter of the injured area, in which, accordingly, there are pain sensations. When using a patch for correcting children's posture or kinesiotape, it is necessary to apply along the length of the spine or foot. If there is a need to protect the muscles during sports, then stick it on the problem areas.
  2. In the overlap zone shave off excess hair.
  3. Degrease the skin with alcohol and then use the ribbon.
  4. After gluing it is necessary wait for half an hour until the glue begins to interact with the skin and only then start playing sports.

I, as an orthopedic surgeon for injuries and during sports, recommend using the kinesio taping method. Its essence is the use of a special tape, which, with the help of a structure and a certain elasticity, can improve blood circulation and relieve pain.

But before applying the tape, be sure to read the instructions and learn the overlay methods.

Alexey Valerievich

I am a traumatologist with extensive experience and experience in foreign clinics. Not so long ago, a patient came to me after a severe accident.

They prescribed him everything that was supposed to help the speedy recovery of the musculoskeletal tissue and relieve terrible pain. Therapeutic exercise, massage sessions and various medications, of course, gave a certain effect, but a complete recovery did not occur.

Then I remembered about the use of special kinesiotapes in Korea. During the observation, I began to notice that the patient had stopped using painkillers, and the tape was not removed. It turned out that the pain subsided on the first day of gluing and the recovery accelerated significantly. Believe me, as an experienced specialist, that a kinesio patch for a few hundred rubles will significantly reduce the rehabilitation time and help subside pain.

Traumatologist

Quite often, in the process of active sports, an athlete can get various injuries. These can be both harmless sprains, and more serious ones - dislocations, fractures, and All this, of course, can also affect a person who is far from sports, but if an ordinary citizen can still lie on a sofa at home in a hospital, then it is important for an athlete as much as possible get back on track faster.

Currently, a completely new method of treating such injuries has appeared - this is kinesio taping, which is based on the imposition of kinesio tapes on the damaged area of ​​the body. We will try to understand the features of such treatment, the advantages and contraindications.

What is kinesio tape

This method of treatment was developed specifically for the treatment and speedy rehabilitation of injured athletes. Treatment of sprains and bruises is carried out without limiting the mobility of a person.

When applying teips, not only does motor activity not decrease, but the possibility of further training remains. In this regard, kinesio tape is a unique tool in the treatment of musculoskeletal problems.

Sports kinesio tapes help to relax overstressed muscles and thus help them recover faster.

Japanese physician Kenzo Kase deserves special thanks. It was he who developed this method of treating injuries in 1973, but the kinesio tape plaster received its well-deserved popularity only after the 2008 Olympics.

Currently, the demand for patches is increasing not only among athletes, but also among people leading

How does the kinesio patch work?

Muscles in the human body not only perform a musculoskeletal function, but take an active part in venous circulation and lymph movement. Therefore, any damage to muscle tissue leads to problems with blood circulation. It is in connection with this that it is necessary to use such methods of treatment that would guarantee a speedy recovery after an injury.

Kinesio tape is an elastic bandage for athletes, which is made from natural cotton. It has a wavy structure, and in addition there is a layer that does not cause an allergic reaction. Glue is activated only under the influence of human body temperature. The unique structure of the patches makes them very similar to human skin.

Tape acts at a microscopic level - it seems to lift the skin over the damaged area, which significantly reduces pressure and reduces pain. As a result of exposure, blood circulation and lymph flow improves, which leads to faster resorption of hematomas and tumors.

After the kinesio tape is applied, the instruction allows you to maintain a mobile lifestyle, as intensive muscle support is guaranteed. All this, subject to proper application, but with this, as a rule, there are no difficulties.

How does the patch affect the athlete's body

After kinesio tape is applied to the problem area, it has the following effect:

  • By normalizing muscle function, pain is reduced.
  • If you study the kinesio tape, the instruction states that the muscles quickly move from a tense state to a relaxed one.
  • Improves blood circulation.
  • The movement of lymph and the outflow of tissue fluid become more efficient.
  • Eliminates neuralgia.
  • Stimulates skin and muscle activity.
  • If an athlete attends massage sessions, then the effect of them is much more noticeable and longer.

Given this impact, we can conclude that active citizens can also use kinesio tape, the price, especially for them, is relatively low.

Benefits of using kinesio tape

When compared with such a tool as a conventional elastic bandage, kinesio tape has significant advantages:


The use of kinesio tape in medicine

All these advantages make it possible to use this method of treatment not only in sports medicine, but also for the treatment of certain diseases, for example:

  1. For the treatment of scoliosis.
  2. In the presence of juvenile kyphosis, the use of kinesio tapes is effective.
  3. Achilles bursitis therapy.
  4. To correct the curvature of the legs in children.
  5. If there are neurological manifestations of cervical, thoracic or lumbar osteochondrosis.
  6. Muscular-fascial pain syndromes of the trunk or limbs.
  7. With varicose veins, there is a violation of blood flow in the muscles. Kinesio tape - the instruction mentions this - can help in this situation.
