1. Taping Therapeutics Introduction
What is Taping Therapeutics?
In modern society, people are troubled with many pains. Many factors including sports, duty, wrong posture, and mental stress are abusing the muscles and joints to cause aches. There is a variety of symptoms, for example, shoulder muscles are stiffened by longtime computer use, leg muscles are swollen by standing or walking for many hours. Strained or damaged muscles are swollen to disturb smooth circulation of blood, lymph or tissue fluid and cause pains. Applying the tape, with similar elasticity as muscle, on the painful part relieves aches by enlarging the space between skin and muscle to increase the circulation of blood, lymph and tissue fluid, helps the alleviation of pains via skin stimulation.
2. The History of Taping Therapeutics ?
Taping Therapeutics was developed during a research on sports taping for the purpose of treating muscles and arthritis by Japanese medical doctor Kenzo Kase in 1982, a pain-clinic treatment to alleviate the aches applying tapes with similar elasticity of human muscles. Currently the taping is widely used inJapanamongst the general public as well as national athletes and professional players, thus becomes very popular to be sold in supermarkets as well as hospitals and drugstores.
3. The Principle of Taping Therapeutics
There is no medicine or ointment covered on the therapeutic tape as poultice. Just the adhesives free from side effects are spread behind the tape of cotton textiles. Almost everyone who saw or touched the therapeutic tape for the first time in life was doubtful; ‘Is this tape really efficacious?’ Taping therapeutics is not based upon medicines to eliminate the pains. Tape with similar resilience as human muscle draws the original reaction of human body keeping the muscle from excessive contraction, gently elevates the skin surface to promote circulation of the blood and lymph between the skin and muscle. Applying tape lifts the skin surface widening space between the skin and muscle to increase circulation of blood and lymph and the spontaneous curing ability to relieve pains, revive muscular function and enable normal physical activities. There is another hypothesis as the gate control theory which explains the tape-applied skin is under the constant physical (vibrating, pressing, tactile) stimulus and the stimulus is reaching the spinal nerves before pain-transmitting fiber to cut the delivery of pains and disables from feeling aches. Besides, there are Golgi Tendon Theory and Paraspinal Muscle Spindle Responses Theory. Golgi Tendon suppresses the excessive contraction of muscle and tendon, and Paraspinal Muscle Spindle Responses play an important role in controlling muscle tension, right posture, and body equilibrium preventing over-extension of muscle.
4. The Efficacy of Taping Therapeutics
The treatment is very simple without side effects, therefore easy to apply at home, however, the quickest result is the most strong of many other merits.
There are four big effects by applying tape.
First, it corrects the muscular function and prevents the second damage.
The elasticity of tape stimulating the skin and muscle returns the strained muscle to its original condition. Leaving the painful muscle as it is makes work the peripheral muscles instead which might lead to the second injury or bigger pains. Accordingly, applying tape is effective in preventing the second damage in addition to correcting the muscular function.
Second, it promotes the circulation of blood, lymph, tissue fluid, and suchlike.
The tape designed to gently elevate the skin surface promotes to quickly discharge the tissue liquid or internal hemorrhage standing in the affected area, smoothes the circulation of blood and lymph to relieve the aches.
Third, it alleviates the pains.
Applying tape on the painful area is neurologically effective in relieving the pains.
Fourth, it corrects the crooked joints.
Applying tape on the crooked joints by the peripheral over-strained muscle returns the muscular movement to its original condition to keep the joints from being twisted.

|
|
There are 4 kinds of Width and 3 kinds of Color.
A. 7.5cm to apply on the wide muscle area
B. 5cm for general use
C. 3.75cm for feminine, thin muscle
D. 2.5cm for special parts such as neck and hand
Waterproof 5cm tape is most popular among general public with 3 kinds of color as Beige which is most widely used for its hardly recognizable merit, Blue and Red tapes are identical with Beige in quality except for the visual effect by color. Waterproof tape is covered with water-resisting element on the cover of tape thus the tape is not easily wet with water or sweat.

There is a variety of shapes according to area to be applied in a specific shape and length.
Shape I: most basic shape applied in basic and supplementary taping
Shape Y: most widely applied, wrapping muscle following its texture
Shape X: unusual, applied for special purpose with both ends cut
Finger Shape: unusual, however, promoting blood circulation
Taping Scissors: Teflon coated to prevent tape adhesive with highly-cutting power in sharp edges

7. Directions and Attentions
Therapeutic tape should be applied correctly positioning on the very starting and ending point of muscle which pains unlikely the poultice might be applied on a random place around aching muscle. (Please refer to Directions.)
Cleanse the skin, maximize the muscle and shape the tape along with the length of the muscle as the length of muscle is varied as per gender and age. Peel off the cover simultaneously with applying on the skin as the tape sticks fast each other when wholly uncovered beforehand. Apply on the extended muscle, however, the tape should never be pulled over as stretched tape shall make pores narrow, easily causes skin diseases. Confirm whether the tape is well attached. Tape wrinkles on the usual, original muscle shows it is well applied. When you feel uncomfortable after taping, remove and re-apply the tape. Do not apply if the skin gets red in a day’s test. The tape is not easily removed during the bath please dry with towel or hair-dryer afterwards. Apply 2 to 3 days in general. If pain remains try to re-apply one day after the removing. Please apply before heavy exercise to prevent the muscle injury and it is effective keeping abreast with sports of frequent contacts. Please take a shower and dry well after the exercises as the salt might cause skin disease.

9. Products and Features
- KinematicsTex
Kinematics Texis the own brand of Sysnet (TapingCenter) has been selling only ‘Kinesio Tape’ during 10 years. For about 10 years since taping therapeutics has been introduced inKorea, it becomes the favorite treatment among many people, thus a lot of Korean brands has been produced. For the past 8 years with a variety of Korean products, the products have been remarkably developed whilst we realize that the quality has been somewhat irregular and uneven. Therefore we would like to hereby introduce ‘KinematicsTex’, our own brand developed by 10 years’ technical knowhow, research and trials and errors of 2 years’ period. Taping Center (previous Kinesio Center) now becomes ready to meet a variety of customers’ needs by adding ‘Kinematics Tex’ over to ‘Kinesio Tape’ which had been the only product available in our own and the first Korean on-line shopping mall. It is the major feature ofKinematicsTexthat somewhat strong elasticity has been newly added to the softness of Japanese products which makes our products so distinctive and essential in taping therapeutics. All of our products are water-resistant strongly against water or sweat, available in size of beige 7.5cm/5cm/3.75cm/2.5cm in addition to blue and red 5cm tapes.
Kinematics Tex shall advance into the world as the first quality product of its kind.
Special feature: water-resistant in whole/wave
Ingredients: cotton,tex, acrylic pool, release paper (back cover)
