come applicare il nastro kinesiologico al polpaccio

kinesiology tape calf is a kind of muscle tape that can restore muscle function to normal, relieve pain, promote blood circulation, and correct joints. It is made of soft cotton cloth and glue. It is very elastic and has a certain degree of stickiness. It can be directly attached to the skin. How can the muscle tape be attached to the calf?

Preparations and precautions for using kinesiology tape calf:

1) Before the kinesiology tape calf is taped, it is necessary to check the user’s skin condition:

Preparations and precautions for using kinesiology tape calf:
1) Before kinesiology tape calf is taped, it is necessary to check the user’s skin condition:

Ø Cannot have open wounds, lacerations, allergies or rashes;

Ø There should not be too much hair on the pasted part, and more hair needs to be trimmed or removed;

Ø Just clean the skin before sticking, without any oil or lotion, and keep the skin dry before sticking;

2) Sticking time:

Usually, the taping time is generally 1 to 3 days, and the longest single taping time should not exceed 5 days. If the taping time is too long, the effect may decrease due to the decrease in the elasticity of the kinesiology tape calf. In summer or when you sweat a lot, the replacement cycle should also be shortened appropriately. Since medical workers need to wear protective clothing for a long time, and the temperature is gradually rising, it is recommended to change it every day.

3) Allergenicity of kinesiology tape calf

The sensitization of kinesiology tape calf is related to the site of application, the magnitude of the tension, the duration of application, the treatment of the site, and the type of gel used for the application.

If you have an allergic constitution, it is recommended that the layers of tape should not be too dense, and a single tape should be applied for 24 hours (for those who sweat a lot, the tape time can be shortened as needed), and the low-sensitivity series of kinesiology tape calf should be used.

Be especially careful when removing the kinesiology tape calf, don’t tear it off too quickly. If obvious allergies are found, the sticking should be suspended, and then used as appropriate after the skin condition improves.

4) Tips for sticking kinesiology tape calf

First of all, you can choose the appropriate length of kinesiology tape calf according to the different parts to be taped. After cutting the lower muscle tape for the first time, the four corners of the patch are all right angles. At this time, we can trim the four right angles of the patch into curved corners, which can effectively prevent kinesiology tape calf from warping due to friction with clothing, etc. horn.

Secondly, in order to increase the stability of the taping, the “anchor” and “tail” of the kinesiology tape calf do not exert tension during the taping.

Finally, after finishing a piece of kinesiology tape calf, we can use the back of our hand to gently rub the muscle tape to improve its adhesion.

How to apply kinesiology tape calf? Let me answer it for you.

Strengthen the “push-off” action of your footsteps, so that you can run more smoothly and avoid cramps!

The patch measures the length from the bottom of the heel to the knee socket, and cuts lengthwise from the middle to form a Y-shaped patch.

The anchor point is attached to the bottom of the heel, the natural tension of the patch is applied to the muscle swelling, and then the upper Y-shaped patch is attached to the knee socket along the covered muscle.

Finally, don’t forget to rub the patch repeatedly with your hands to strengthen the fit.

Using the resilience of the patch, it can help promote the lymphatic flow of the calf and recover from fatigue after exercise. It can effectively relieve swelling and allow you to prepare for the next exercise faster!

The anchor point is attached to the lower edge of the knee fossa on both sides, and the patch covers the calf muscle without tension, and the two patches are crossed after completion.

What does taping your calf do?

Kinesiology tape, also known as elastic therapeutic tape or K-tape, is a stretchy cotton tape that is used to support and stabilize muscles and joints. When applied correctly, it can provide various benefits for the calf muscles. Here are some functions of kinesiology tape on the calf:

Support and stabilization: Kinesiology tape can help provide support to the calf muscles by improving their stability and reducing excessive movement. This can be particularly beneficial during physical activities or sports that put strain on the calf muscles.

Pain relief: The application of kinesiology tape on the calf can help alleviate pain and discomfort. It may work by providing a gentle lifting effect on the skin and underlying tissues, which can help reduce pressure on pain receptors and improve circulation.

Swelling reduction: K-tape can aid in reducing swelling or edema in the calf area. The tape’s elastic properties can create a lifting effect on the skin, promoting better lymphatic and blood flow, which can assist in reducing swelling.

Enhanced circulation: The tape’s stretchiness and its ability to lift the skin can improve blood circulation and enhance the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the calf muscles. This can contribute to better muscle performance and recovery.

Proprioceptive feedback: Kinesiology tape can provide proprioceptive feedback, which refers to the body’s awareness of its position and movements. By stimulating the skin and underlying tissues, the tape can enhance proprioception, helping individuals improve their balance, coordination, and muscle control.

It’s important to note that while kinesiology tape may provide temporary relief and support, it does not treat underlying medical conditions. If you’re experiencing significant or persistent calf pain or have a specific injury, it’s recommended to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment. They can provide specific guidance on how to use kinesiology tape effectively for your condition.
