Hello, I am Norino, a part-time worker!
Today I would like to talk about "taping," which is important for both those who play sports and those who use their bodies frequently in daily life.

What is taping for?
Taping has three major roles.
(1) Injury prevention
It protects the joints by limiting twisting movements of the joints during exercise.
It is especially easy to feel the effects in places that are often used, such as the ankles and wrists!
(2) Support for movement
It lightly supports the weak areas and facilitates movement.
They can also distribute the burden when "it's hard to move because of the pain."
(iii) Awareness
This is actually very important,
Taping makes it easier to be aware of things like, "Let's not overuse this area," or "It's easy to put strain on this area.
Even a change in awareness can help prevent injury!

...Actually, it is also compatible with chiropractic!
After adjusting posture and muscle balance, you may find it easier to maintain good posture and muscle balance if you use taping for support as needed.
For example, people with unstable ankles, people who hunch back easily, etc. 🍀 The approach will vary depending on the part of the body you want to support depending on the body's habitus.

What to keep in mind when rolling your own: ⚠️
(1) Not too tightly wound.
It can cause poor blood flow, numbness and cold.
(2) Do not leave it on for long periods of time
Sweat and sebum can cause coverage.
(iii) Adapt to the state of the body
Fixing a joint is most effective when the joint is kept at the proper angle and the muscles are tensed.

Taping is not only a fixation, but also an important item with three roles: injury prevention, movement support, and awareness. We are happy to help those who work hard in sports and those who overuse their bodies in their daily lives.

The Importance of Taping🏃‍♀️

Hi, I'm Nori, your part-timer!
Today I'll talk about “taping,” which is important for both athletes and anyone who uses their body a lot in daily life.

What is taping for?
Taping has three main roles.

Injury Prevention
It limits twisting movements in joints during exercise, protecting them.
You'll especially notice its effectiveness on frequently used areas like ankles and wrists!
2) Movement Support
It lightly supports weakened areas, making movement easier.
It can also distribute the load when you think, “It hurts, so it's hard to move.”
3) Awareness
This is actually very important.
Wearing tape makes you more aware, thinking, “I should avoid overusing this area” or “This area tends to get strained.”
Just changing your awareness can make it easier to prevent injuries!

It actually pairs well with chiropractic care!
After adjusting posture and muscle balance, some people find taping provides extra support to help maintain that good state.
For example, approaches vary based on the specific support needed for each person's physical habits-like unstable ankles or recurring rounded shoulders.🍀

Important notes when applying it yourself⚠️
Don't wrap too tightly
It can restrict blood flow, causing numbness or coldness.
Avoid leaving it on for extended periods
Sweat and sebum can cause skin irritation.
Adapt to your body's condition
When stabilizing joints, maintain the joint at the correct angle and apply the tape while the muscle is engaged for optimal effectiveness.

Taping isn't just about immobilization-it's a vital tool serving three key roles: injury prevention, movement support, and awareness. We'd be thrilled if it could offer even a little help to those pushing themselves in sports or those who put their bodies through daily strain. their bodies through daily strain.✨
