SPORTS CORNER: Kinesiology Taping-How Does Putting On These Stripes Ease Pain? - K. GANESAN

How does kinesiology tape works?- Kinesiology tape is based on kinesiology, the science of anatomy, physiology and body mechanics. It is based on the idea that the body can heal itself, if enabled with appropriate support. (this I have told in the first article in detail. Any way we can add as a reminder or revision)

On skin, the Kinesiology Tape pulls the upper layers of skin, creating more space between the dermis and the muscle. This space also houses various nerve receptors that send specific information to the brain. When the space between the epidermis and the muscle is compressed, such as during an injury, these nerve receptors are compressed and send information to the brain regarding continuous touch, light touch, cold, pain, pressure, and heat. This information causes the brain to send out certain signals to the body on how to react to particular stimuli. Kinesiology Tape alters the information that these receptors send to the brain and causes a less reactive response in the body, allowing the body to work in a more normal manner and removing some of the roadblocks that normally slow down the healing process.
