Product review of Acti-Tape - elastic sports kinesiology tape
Acti-Tape sent along a sample of their various products for the purpose of review. Today we will consider their elastic sports kinesiology tape.
The term elastic sports kinesiology tape is a combination of the various manners whereby this tape is called, such as sports tape, elastic sports tape, kinesiology tape, etc.
Kinesiology refers to the science of human movement and so kinesiology tape is a thin stretchy tape that acts like a muscle that you attach to your skin. A unique feature of Acti-Tape is that it does not merely compress like just about anything that you can wrap around your body.
Wraps compress and hold fluids in place as they are used to keep swelling down (and also for support). Conversely, kinesiology tape lifts the skin slightly so as to allow for more flow of oxygen, blood, etc. so as to promote healing (and also for support):
The principle of Acti-Tape is based on the body's own natural healing processes. When applied, the tape may assist the body's return to normal function. The nature of the tape material is highly elastic (as elastic as skin) and in conjunction with the wave-like adhesive pattern, Acti-Tape "lifts" the skin under the point of application fractionally when applied.
This lifting supports the alleviation of pain and facilitates lymphatic drainage by increasing the space between the skin and muscle in order to allow "easier" body fluid flow under the application area. The reduction in localized pressure and support for circulation and lymphatic drainage means decreasing pressure on the sensory receptors.
The net result is pain relief, promotion of injury recovery and reduction of swelling.
An important aspect of Acti-Tape is that you, as a fitness enthusiast, should tape yourself in accordance to the activity in which you are participating. In order words, tape based on throwing, lifting, running, etc. and do not just paste it atop a muscle that happens to be sore that day:
Acti-Tape is easy to use and highly versatile. All techniques are based on a few simple principles such as how the tape is cut and whether or not to deliberately stretch the tape on application….Acti-Tape can be left on the skin for several days although 2 to 3 days is most common…
Sports tapes like Acti-Tape are now widely used by professional athletes, trainers, podiatrists and orthopedists worldwide. Since it is non-medicated, pregnant women, children, office workers and the elderly who need muscle support and protection will also find it useful.
Concurrent application whilst undergoing physical therapy may optimize the effect of such therapy…Acti-Tape your best partner for your active lifestyle.
