Kinesio tape and especially the Flexotaping – myofascial kinesiology taping has become a rage in the athletic world. You would be surprised to see athletes from different areas of sports wearing it on their wrists, arms, legs, and other body parts. Are you wondering what a kinesio tape really is and what is the benefit of wearing it?
Kinesio tape such as the Flexotape – kinesiology tape is an adhesive athletic tape that is highly useful in alleviating muscular pain or myofascial pain, respectively. It is made from 100% cotton and is highly elastic. It can extend 30 to 40 percent of its actual size. The tape is super thin, similar in texture to that of the human skin. Latex-free and non-medicated, this tape is safe to use and easy to apply too. But the key is how to apply it. A single roll of the kinesio tape can last for many applications. Depending on the problems the average is ten applications per roll and it can be worn for 4-5 days, without having to change at all. Flexotape – kinesiology tape has the perfect adhesive for sports (even swimming) that won’t fall off during competition and training.
You must be wondering how this tape works? Well, the kinesio tape works on the principle of kinesiology taping – the science that deals with human movements. The myofascial kinesiology taping method (Flexotaping) is a special further development, fundamentally different and more effective than the regular kinesiology tapingThe major effect is the myofascial release to get a myofascial balance that allows the affected area around the tightened and stretched muscle and fascia to stay flexible without pain, which in turn is believed to help easy circulation and fast blood flow and facilitate quick healing.
The unique Flexotape Kinesio tape provides a full range of motion, stability, and support to the affected body part. It ensures that the affected part functions as close to its normal capabilities as possible as it was working prior to the injury or even better. The Flexotape Kinesio tape enhances blood circulation, helping the circulatory and neurological systems of the body function normally and to their optimum level even when injured.
This is the major characteristic of the Flexotape the myofascial kinesio tape. This and even equally important is the way of applying the tape distinguishes it from several other regular kinesiology taping methods and kinesio tapes available in the market. And this is the reason why athletes around the world wear this useful tape to give their best performance on field, despite muscular pain or discomfort due to injury or bad body posture.
