KT Tape: Achilles Tendon Pain

admin — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 11:59:51 +0000

Achilles Tendon Pain results from either acute inflammation of the Achilles tendon due to overuse and strain (Achilles Tendonitis) or a degenerating tendon (Achilles Tendonosis).

Common causes of Achilles Tendon pain is overuse without proper strength and flexibility conditioning. Common treatments are rest, icing, and in severe cases, surgery.

KT Tape provides support to the tendon aiding its recovery. KT tape users find that pain and inflammation arereduced when using the Achilles tendon taping technique.

KT Tape: Ankle Stability

admin — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 21:03:50 +0000

This application can be used for a variety of ankle issues including ankle sprains, stretched ligaments, inflamed tendons, or general ankle weakness. The added support will give you the confidence and support during the rehabilitation phase of an injury as well as the stability and pain relief during activity.

Ankle injuries can happen a number of different ways. They can occur during an acute injury, or a sudden rolling or twisting of the ankle. These types of injuries generally involve great pain and swelling. Typically acute injuries are inversion ankle sprains wherein the foot rolls to the inside while stepping on an uneven surface such as a curb, hole, or root. The first strip applied will help to keep the foot everted and decrease your tendency to suffer another sprain. The second and third strips provide excellent proprioceptive stability.

Overuse or chronic ankle injuries occur overtime and are often the result of over training or training in poor conditions such as inappropriate footwear, uneven or dense surfaces, or simply too much too soon. These injuries are characterized by inflammation and are generally the result of other injuries. The stability provided by this application allows these inflamed tendons and ligaments to rest and avoid further injury.

Ankle instability or weakness can lead to chronic sprains and tearing of ligaments and tendons and lead to other injuries. Unlike traditional ankle braces, KT Tape provides support that is very comfortable and allows you to have a greater range of motion. This application also helps to provide support without limiting your range of motion or decreasing your blood flow.

KT Tape: Runner’s Knee

admin — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 12:39:36 +0000

Runners Knee is a condition characterized by pain behind or around the kneecap. Poor kneecap tracking is believed to be the main cause this condition.

Runners Knee Pain is due to an irritation of the undersurface of the kneecap. The undersurface of the kneecap, or patella, is covered with a layer of smooth cartilage. This cartilage normally glides effortlessly across the knee during bending of the joint. However, in some individuals, the kneecap tends to rub against one side of the knee joint, the cartilage surface becomes irritated, and knee pain is the result.

KT Tape provides immediate relief from Runner’s Knee by providing support to the patella tendons and aligning the knee cap for better tracking over the joint. The support provided is similar to a patella knee band but KT Tape is very comfortable to wear and doesn’t constrict circulation, therefore not interfering with normal body mechanics.

KT Tape: Calf Strain

admin — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 23:22:21 +0000

The calf muscles consist of two muscles: the gastrocnemius and the soleus. The gastrocnemius is the larger muscle that is visible on the back of the leg, and the soleus is the smaller muscle that is lower down on the back of the leg and mostly underneath the gastrocnemius. Both muscles end up attaching to the heel via the achilles tendon and serve to point the toes down (plantarflexion). These muscles are vital in walking, running, and propelling the body.

Strains in the calf come in varying degrees:

Grade 1

Slight pain in the back of the leg
Zero to very slight restricted motion or activity
Tightness, aching, and slight pain for up to 5 days
Grade 2

Pronounced, sharp, and restrictive pain
Swelling and bruising
Tightness and aching for up to 10 days
Grade 3

Severe pain that is fully restrictive
Moderate to complete inability to restrict the muscles
Significant bruising and swelling
In the most severe cases (ruptures) the muscle is bunched up towards the top of the calf

Calf strains occur due to injury during acceleration, change of direction, or repeated flexion under duress. The muscles may initially begin to spasm, cramp, or swell. Bruising may also become apparent at some time after the initial injury.

Treatment of a grade I calf strain involves rest most importantly. Ice, elevation, and compression can reduce pain and inflammation, but should not be relied upon to continue strenuous activity. KT Tape provides excellent support for these muscles during unavoidable activity, reducing aching and tightness in the calf. This application also provides inhibition of the muscles to promote relaxation and healing.

KT Tape: Tennis Elbow

0TQ/0.jpg” align=”left”>What is Tennis Elbow?

“Tennis Elbow” is the common name describing the painful condition Lateral Epicondylitis (LE), speculatively caused by overuse of the forearm resulting in elbow pain. To no surprise, playing tennis and other racquet sports can be a culprit for its development. However, a variety of other activities or sports can also be the cause of this painful condition. Painters, plumbers, carpenters or others frequently and repetitively employing the use of forearm extensor muscles with gripping objects are prone to developing tennis elbow.

The condition is not entirely inflammatory in nature, but rather degenerative by way of micro-tearing between the common extensor tendon and periosteum of the lateral epicondyle of the humerus.

KT Tape: Pain on Top of Foot

admin — Sun, 25 Dec 2011 20:10:11 +0000

The top of the foot consists of many bones, ligaments, tendons, nerves, and muscles. The function of the foot is produced by all of these components and each component is relatively small and complex. For the majority of people, the foot is used more than any other body part. Feet consistently bear the entirety of a person’s weight in almost all sports. Needless to say, feet take a beating and are often injured.
Tendons on the top of the foot are responsible for pointing the toes towards the sky (dorsiflexion), and therefore most of the time tendonitis on top of the foot is due to inflammation caused by this action being repeated many times under stress. Activities like running (especially on an un-even grade), hill training, sport that causes frequent change of direction, or even running in poorly fit shoes, can all cause tendonitis of these tendons.
Other causes of pain on the top of the foot include cysts, bones jamming due to fallen arches, stress fractures from trauma, bone spurs due to arthritic conditions, or even pinched nerves. Typical treatment of these conditions includes R.I.C.E. (rest, ice, compression, and elevation) after activity, orthotics, being correctly fit for shoes, or various inserts. Many times strength training of the calves can help to relieve stress.
KT Tape provides excellent support without sacrificing range of motion, as well as increasing blood flow and taking stress off of inflamed tendons. Regardless of the source of pain, these benefits can help to promote the healing process as well as significantly reduce pain. Reducing pain will help you to avoid compensation injuries that all too often follow foot pain.

KT Tape: Peroneal Tendonitis

admin — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 03:56:35 +0000

Peroneal tendonitis is a painful condition that develops from overloading or significantly stressing the peroneal tendons. The pain can develop from acute (specific injury) or chronic conditions (such as running). The peroneal tendons run behind the outside ankle bone and attach to the outside of the foot on both sides. The tendons originate with the peroneus muscle which serves to plantar flex (point foot down) and evert (turn bottom of foot out) the foot.
Causes include excessive pronation, tight calf muscles, or running on uneven surfaces. Older individuals become more susceptible due to the tendons losing their elasticity and becoming more brittle. Symptoms include stiffness, swelling, or a burning sensation around the back of the ankle and edges of the foot.
Treatment options include rest, ice, and anti-inflammatories. The KT Tape application allows pressure to be relieved from the painful area to facilitate rest. Proprioceptive (body awareness) benefits serve to increase blood flow and help to promote the healing process.
Proper diagnosis of the source of your pain is vital to creating a treatment plan to reduce pain and improve function. Your professional medical provider has the tools and expertise to diagnose and develop a treatment plan for your specific condition.

KT Tape: Shin Splint

admin — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 18:06:50 +0000

Shin Splint refers to pain along the shinbone. Pain is caused by an overload on the shinbone and the connective tissues that attach your muscles to the bone.

Treatment for shin splints involves reducing pain and inflammation, identifying training and biomechanical problems which may have caused the injury initially, restoring muscles to their original condition, and gradually returning to training. Icing and anti inflammatory medications are common treatments.

KT Tape provides immediate relief for shin splints by providing support and reducing inflammation of affected tissues and muscles. It is not uncommon for shin splint sufferers to experience immediate relief with KT Tape and continue training or competing pain free.
