Muscle effect patch

1. What is a muscle effect patch

intramuscular patch, that is, exercise patch, is mainly developed for the treatment of joint and muscle pain. It is widely used in sports health care and protection. Most of the users are athletes, and the medical community has also begun to use it. Treat joint disease.fitness enthusiasts who do not exercise frequently but suffer from joint pain can also relieve the pain through the sticking of intramuscular stickers.

intramuscular effect patch is an ultra-thin breathable tape with elasticity. It has different widths, colors and elasticity. It can be cut into different shapes as needed and attached to the skin, muscles and joints that need treatment. Compared with traditional plasters or medicine cloths, it greatly reduces skin allergies or maladjustment, and allows natural activities of the treatment site.

muscle effect patch is: use an external force to pull apart the fascia layer, increase the distance between them, reduce the friction between soft tissue activities and fascia, increase blood ring and lymph circulation, thereby reducing the pain caused by overstrain, It also has the function of increasing joint mobility and muscle strength.

intramuscular patch originated in Japan in the 2070s and developed in Europe and the United States, while the domestic understanding of intramuscular patch began in the Beijing Olympics.

around the 2004 Athens Olympics, colored tape that was strategically affixed to athletes in different ways began to appear in broadcast competitions. This bright and sticky thing reappeared at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and attracted more attention.

2. The birth of the muscle patch

for people outside the sports world, this kind of thing is confusing: what is going on with this roll of tape?

Kinesio Tape (Kinesio Tape) is a brand of elastic therapeutic tape used in rehabilitation training and sports to reduce disability caused by pain and injury. The goal is to help anyone, from elite athletes to mass athletes (even grandparents), exercise better. The brand is actually one of many different types of athletic tape, and may be the most well-known one.

In 1979, Dr. Kenzo Kase, a Japanese chiropractor, invented the belt to provide support during exercise and promote the healing of soft tissue injuries. Different application technologies have different uses, so depending on your physical condition, a trained and certified KT practitioner and user will know which method is suitable for you.

muscle effect patch is a belt made of a soft cotton fiber, and then a medical grade acrylic adhesive is attached to the skin. It is actually designed to imitate the elasticity of human skin. This material does not contain latex, is hypoallergenic, waterproof, and can stick to the body in shower, sweat and other life, and this kind of belt can generally last for 3 to 5 days, but then you'll need a new one.

to be specific, the muscle effect patch consists of a three-layer structure, with cotton woven fabric at the top, backing paper at the bottom, and medical grade acrylic temperature sensitive adhesive in the middle.

 

muscle patch claims that by gently lifting the surface skin, the adhesion of the tape can promote lymphatic drainage and circulation, thereby reducing inflammation and pressure on the underlying tissues. This technology can even help relax or stimulate muscles.

According to the reason why you use tape, understanding the basic anatomy of the human body is essential for the correct use of tape.

strategically selected to achieve the desired effect. Usually, the tape pattern you see on the surface of the skin will match the place where the tendon is attached to the bone, the place where the muscle is injured, or the place where the joint continues to swell.

But there is one thing to note, unlike other materials that completely restrict movement, the muscle effect patch is not strong enough to completely fix the joint-in this case, this is intentional.

some people think that this kind of belt does not seem to have any effect on the surface (except for making you look extra sporty and cool), but research shows that it does what it claims to be. For example,a small study showed that the muscle effect patch can effectively improve the torque and strength of the quadriceps muscles of female athletes, while another larger study showed that it can effectively reduce neck pain and improve mobility.

using a muscle patch is more neuromuscular than musculoskeletal, which means that it will affect the proprioception or your body's self-awareness in space, rather than mechanically distorting the tissue. In other words, the muscle patch can help improve the sensory receptors between the body and the brain, so that your brain will respond better to what is happening in the environment.

3. Use and Precautions of Muscle Effect Paste

to put it simply, the muscle effect patch has three main therapeutic effects:

• relieve pain;
• improve circulation and reduce edema;
• support and relax soft tissue, improve incorrect movement patterns and enhance joint stability.
