Muscles constantly extend and contract within a normal range; however, when muscles over-extend and over-contract, such as when lifting an execessive amount of weight, muscles cannot recover and become inflamed. When a muscle is inflamed, swollen or stiff due to fatigue, the space between the skin and muscle is compressed, resulting in constriction to the flow of lymphatic fluid. This compression also applies pressure to the pain receptors beneath the skin, which in turn communicate "discomfort signals" to the brain - the person experiences PAIN. This type of pain is known as myalgia, or muscular pain. Some effects of Kineseo Tape are:
Kinesio tape is effective for reconditiong the abnormal muscle tension, or strengthening the weakened muscle. It is also effective for msucle fatigue and cramps.
Kinesio eliminates the tissue fluid or bleeding beneath the skin by moving the muscle.
Neurological suppression of pain occurs by applying the tape to the affected area. Also, pain will be suppressed as mentioned in Effect 2 above.
The dislocated joint bone due to abnormal muscle tension can be corrected by taping which will recover the function of fascia muscle.
