Kinesio teip( elastic tape elastic bandage of small extensibility adhesive) is an elastic cotton strip, developed on an adhesive basis, which is used in sports medicine for rehabilitation after trauma.
Kinesio tapes can remove pain, reduce swelling and significantly speed up the process of repairing the damaged joint. Tape is able to cure joint or muscle pain, without the use of ointments and tablets.
Kinesiological teip is necessary to ensure that even if there is any injury, it is possible to achieve the goal and get a positive result.
Having pasted a patch on the damaged muscle, it will take on some of its muscular function, enabling recovery without unnecessary strain. Activation of the adhesive occurs due to body temperature. The unique structure of the bandage makes it similar to the human skin.
The action of the kinesiobt takes place at a microscopic level, it reduces pressure and pain, as if lifting the skin over the injured area. After application normalization of muscular functions occurs, the muscles become more relaxed, and neuralgia disappears.

The aims of using
The purposes of using a plaster:
- improvement of blood circulation and lymph flow;
- pain relief;
- Conducting relaxation of hypertonia or for stimulation of muscle hypotension;
- protects the muscle from reloading;
- for the removal of inflammatory processes;
- for joint stabilization.
The advantages of this patch is that it can provide accelerated regeneration of muscles and ligaments.
Kinesio plaster fixes the muscles for an unlimited time, without limiting mobility. When using them, you do not have to use additional bandages or bandages.
What is kinesiotype differs from traditional bandages
From traditional sports tees kinesio differs in that it can be left on the skin for a week, but re-application of one tape is not provided.
A sports teip can be used repeatedly, which will reduce costs if an athlete only needs to fix for a long time not injured joints or tendons during training or speaking.
Unlike the usual elastic bandage, which fixes muscles and joints, thus preventing the normal functioning of the ligaments, reducing the range of motion and leading to numbness, kinesiotherapy does not create any obstacles to blood circulation and does not constrain movements.
The bandage should be removed immediately after the end of the workout, as it can cause skin irritation and even the drying of the muscles. Tape also allows the skin to breathe, it is not visible under the clothes and there is no need to take it off even while taking a bath. Unlike such drugs, it is hypoallergenic.
Features and methods of overlaying
In order to determine the quality of the teip, it is necessary to look at how the roll is unwound. He must unwind without jerking and pulling to the very end, part of the tape tear off without any effort. When applied to the skin, do not form air folds and glue easily and in a timely manner.
The most important thing in dealing with this tape is the need to know the muscle anatomy, as it will be necessary to understand which part of the bone or joint is attached to the damaged muscle.
In order to properly assign the tape you need:
- Determine for what purpose this is done by .In the case of muscle and joint pain, it is recommended that the patch be applied around the perimeter of the injured area, where, accordingly, there are painful sensations. During the use of a patch to correct the child's posture or flat feet kinesiotheyp must be imposed along the length of the spine or foot. If there is a need to protect muscles while doing sports, then glue it to problem areas.
- In the application zone , shave off excess hair .
- Degrease the skin with alcohol , then use tape.
- After gluing it is necessary to wait for for half an hour, until the glue starts to interact with the skin of and only, then start playing sports.

Recommendations of physicians
I, as an orthopedic surgeon with injuries and during sports practice, recommend using the kinesiotherapy method. The essence of it is the use of a special tape, which, with the help of structure and a certain elasticity, can improve blood circulation and relieve pain.
But before applying the tape, be sure to read the instruction and learn the methods of overlay.

I am a trauma doctor, with a great experience and experience working in foreign clinics. Not so long ago, a patient came to me after a severe accident.
prescribed to him everything that was supposed to help the early recovery of musculoskeletal tissue and the removal of terrible pain. Therapeutic physical exercises, massage sessions and various medicines undoubtedly had a definite effect, but there was no complete recovery.
Then I remembered the application of special kinesiotypes in Korea. During the observation, I began to notice that the patient had ceased to use painkillers, and the teip did not take off. It turned out that the pain subsided on the first day of gluing and recovery was significantly accelerated. Believe me, as an experienced specialist, that kinesio plaster for several hundred rubles, will significantly reduce the time of rehabilitation and help to calm down the pain.

Comments of consumers on the effectiveness of kinesiotherapy.
From a young age I do horse riding. During an active workout, I feel pain in the back and knees. I tried a huge number of drugs, but, unfortunately, their effect if and is effective is very short-term.
When I saw advertisements for kinesiotypes, I did not really believe in the miracle effect, but there was no choice, and decided to order it for myself in the online store. To my surprise, after gluing, the pain subsided during the first hour of the socks.
And for six days, the permitted use without removing, I did not feel any pain, disturbing me earlier, nor discomfort from the teip itself. The only drawback is that it is not possible to paste it on your back.

My youngest son won a junior championship in running. But to deep disappointment, he began to have severe pain in the knee joint. Doctors have forbidden to continue their careers and recommended walking with special calipers.
But they are so large and not comfortable that the child refused to wear them and decided to leave the sport completely. Fortunately, a cousin from Germany suggested that there are some kinesiotheypes that German doctors recommend.
I will not say that this drug miraculously healed his son, but the benefits of it are huge. The pain has passed, the child during training and competition uses this plaster, just does not remove it and after that for several days. In general, nothing better than such plasters we did not find, therefore, we recommend.

Despite the fact that kinesio bandages have different color variations, but this does not affect the characteristics and functionality.
Although athletes are considered to believe that black plasters are the most sticky and therefore prefer them when practicing water sports. The price of kinesiotype varies from five hundred to eight hundred rubles.
The positive aspects of kinesiotherapy are obvious. The field of application is so wide that it is necessary to have such a bandage in the first aid kit to everyone.
It is good as a remedy for damage, it can remove puffiness and bruising, it has a positive effect on night convulsions, it corrects the violation of the musculoskeletal system in children.
