How does it work?
1) The tape lifts the skin to increase the space between the skin and muscle. This reduces localized pressure and promotes circulation and lymphatic drainage; resulting in a decrease in irritation on subcutaneous neural pain receptions. It helps to re-educate the neuromuscular system, promote lymphatic flow, reduce pain and swelling, promote injury resolution and
enhance performance.
2) The tape is used in therapy to relax overused muscles and in rehabilitation to facilitate underused muscles. Advocates claim that the wave pattern found on the tape's adhesive has
a lifting effect on the skin which can reduce swelling and inflammation by improving circulation
and reduce pain by taking pressure off pain receptors. The elastic properties can also be
utilized in a mechanical fashion to limit or encourage a specific motion at a joint.
The popularity of elastic therapeutic sport tape in the United States surged after 50,000 rolls
were donated and the tape was seen on Olympic athletes in the 2008 Beijing Summer Games.
Of these athletes, the most notable was Kerri Walsh who used the tape in competition
following surgery on her rotator cuff.Lance Armstrong, 7 times winner of the Tour de France,
talks about using tape in his book, where he describes the effectiveness of the treatment
for his sore muscles. Serena Williams has also used therapeutic tapes during competition. University of Connecticut basketball player Hasheem Thabeet wore black therapeutic tape
on his left shoulder during the 2009 Men's NCAA basketball tournament. In the 2011 NCAA tournament, the tape was seen on numerous players including Ohio State's Jared Sullinger.
