Life-Saving Benefits of Strapping Tapes used in Sports (2015-06-17)
Do the intricate weaves of coloured "Kinesio tape" or "elastic adhesive bandage" prove to be an authentic leap forward in the healing of sports injuries? Or tapes are destined to be omnipresent at the Olympics or Grand Slams? Strong elastic tapes were developed over 30 years back by chiropractors who found that tape application replicated the valuable effects of physical therapy, in alleviating pain and tenderness for injured sports persons. Tapes made headlines when athletes of 2008 Olympic games were sporting it for its exceptional health benefits. It's confirmed that tapes used alongside wrapping techniques can help healing, assuage pain, supporting muscle groups during sports.
Depending on an injury, sports strapping tape can mitigate pain on a neurological and physical level. Lifting technique eases pressure over sensitive pain receptors just underneath the skin. Persistent pain relief can be accomplished by wrapping the tape in such a manner that it influences sensory stimulation in injuries. When wrapped correctly, tape can lessen pressure over lymphatic drainage channels. This permits fluid to gush out of that area, reducing bruising, inflammation, swelling in the injury. Spasm and cramp prevention are brought about by an effective sports tape. Kinesiology tape promotes enhanced circulation permitting oxygen and nutrients to run more effortlessly to the injured area, accelerating healing. It releases painful lactic acids and waste from affected area.
Researchers have confirmed the support and curative properties associated with use of sports strapping tape in Australia. They published a study which consisted of athletes suffering from orthopaedic injuries. First set of test subjects were just wrapped with regular tapes, but others were wrapped with tapes using diverse proven methods. The study confirmed that the athletes wrapped with tapes using definite methods saw a spectacular progress in mobility, joint or muscle health, pain decline during physical activity.
