As long as the
muscle tape (intramuscular effect) is mentioned, many people's impression is: Oh! I know! It is the kind of colorful thing that athletes stick to their bodies on the sports field. After sticking it, it seems that they can run faster, jump higher, and the injured place seems to be less painful, and they can play games.
There is always an illusion that muscle tape is something only professional athletes can use, but it is not the case. Hulite Sporting Goods tells you: In fact, everyone can use muscle stickers, because muscle stickers are one of the best tools for treating myofascial problems.
Because the glue of the muscle sticker has a special texture, when it is attached to the skin, it will exert a pulling force on the muscle fascia under it. . In the case of no injury, you can use the sticking method that promotes muscle contraction, which can improve sports performance; if you are injured, you can use the sticking method that inhibits muscle contraction to reduce the tension on the tendon during muscle contraction. Or use a joint-fixing sticker to relieve pressure on the joints.
In addition to these commonly used stickers on the sports field, muscle stickers can also be used to modify or correct the myofascia. We already know that myofascia is not only a motor system, but also a sensory system throughout the body. Many sensory receptors exist in the fascia, and the superficial fascia has many more sensory receptors than the deep fascia. The muscle patch is directly attached to the skin. Therefore, the muscle patch can directly stimulate the superficial fascia, which has a great impact on the superficial fascia. For this reason, it is said that the muscle patch is an excellent tool for the treatment of myofascial problems. Everyone can use the muscle patch to correct myofascial problems.
What is intramuscular effect?
Kinesiology is a knitted, non-medicinal patch, widely used in various sports, such as marathon, basketball, tennis, etc. According to the shape of the cut and the direction and tension of the taping, it can induce muscle contraction, relax the fascia and increase the stability of the joint.
Before taping, it is necessary to trim it into different shapes according to the shape of the muscle and the part where it is taped. Basically, the commonly used shapes for intramuscular effects are divided into the following four types: I-shaped, Y-shaped, tri-forked and claw-shaped.
