Increasingly popular is the use of Kinesio-Taping for muscular problems. The use of Kinesio Tape is also beneficial for inflammation of the long biceps tendon. However, it can also be used prophylactically.
It has a tension-relieving and anti-inflammatory effect at the same time. It is also said to have a positive influence on the reflux of the lymphatic fluid (lymph drainage) in the upper arm. It is recommended that the tape is left on for 7 days.
The main effect occurs after about 3-5 days. The tape as such can be purchased in various degrees of thickness or elasticity. If the tape is stretched actively, i.e.
through your own movement, or passively, i.e. through the course of the tape on the corresponding area of the body, a stretching stimulus occurs locally. This effect is of great importance, as it leads to an increased blood circulation in this area, which is definitely conducive to healing. For application, it is important to note that a Y-shaped adhesive should be used.
First, the affected arm is stretched backwards as far as possible. Now the tape is stuck a few centimetres below the elbow towards the roof of the shoulder (acromion) or shoulder height. The tape must not create any tension.
This could cause skin damage in the form of tension blisters, which are not only painful but also lead to inflammatory processes. Simple stretching can also lead to a reduction in pain. However, it does not have the scientifically proven success of taping.
