What is Kinesiology tape

-

 Kinesiology taping is a fascinating way to reduce swelling, decrease pain and help the joints to stay mobile. 

 It is a latex-free hypoallergenic cotton fibre tape that stretches, thus it helps to lift the skin and help blood flow and decrease pressure in the taped area. A Dr Kenzo Kase researched the possibility of having a tape that would help heal muscle tissue. Conventional sports tape was beneficial for strapping the joint and or muscle as well as decreasing movement for the area to heal, but it also reduced range of motion, which could lead to the joint or muscle not healing properly. 

After studying and redesigning the tape Dr Kase invented the Kinesio Tex ® Tape.  Since then variations of this tape have been designed with the same effects as the original.


The benefits of Kinesiology tape (Kinesio tape is a trademark) are:

➡ Breathability

➡ Material stretches

➡ Can be used multiple days in a row and is waterproof

➡ Increases muscle recovery from trauma or D.O.M.S.

➡ Allows range of motion

➡ Cost-effective

➡ Easy to use

  ℍ𝕠𝕨 𝕥𝕠 𝕡𝕣𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕟𝕥 ℍ𝕠𝕨 𝕥𝕠 𝕥𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕥 ℍ𝕠𝕨 𝕥𝕠 𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕪 𝕦𝕟𝕚𝕟𝕛𝕦𝕣𝕖𝕕 How many dancers get reoccurring injuries or even have to stop their career or hobby in dance early because of it? Do you identify yourself in this statement? How many times a week do you go through a recovery routine to keep you healthy and pain-free? Do you have a burning sensation in your heels after every class you do? There are some easy treatments that can be used when you are having a day off from training. Tennis balls are a brilliant tool to target the irritation of discomfort in the feet. Getting regular massages to ease out the fascia lines and muscles and help the body to realign after a possible injury. A postural check can be done to see how much you weigh bear on one side of the body. Anterior/posterior tilts of the pelvis can cause extensive amounts of pain and muscle tightness in the back or hamstrings as an example. As a dance instructor, I see and have experienced injuries, some

Voimapukeutuminen osa 2.

Kirjoitin jokin aika sitten aiheesta voimapukeutuminen ja miten se vaikuttaa kotitoimistossa. Miten pukeutuminen sitten vaikuttaa kun lähtee ulos? Tämähän riippuu siitä millainen sää on ulkona,mihin olet menossa ja miten pitkään olet liikkeellä? Oletetaan,että lähde ruokakauppaan aikeissasi palata suoraan takaisin kotiin. Aika usein varmasti heität päällesi jotain helppoa -hyppäät pyörän kyytiin, auton rattiin tai kävelet kauppaan ja takaisin. Entä jos menetkin jonkinlaiseen tapaamiseen? Sanotaan vaikka klassisesti työhaastatteluun. Olen huomannut,että riippuen työn luonteesta ihmiset pukeutuvat eri tavalla. Jos minä haen töihin jossa opetan tai luennoin hyvinvoinnista laitan sopivat urheiluvaatteet joissa tunne olevani sporttinen. Hiukset laitan siististi ja meikki on raikas, mutta ei liian näkyvä. Jos taas menen tapaamaan vaikka yrityksen edustajaa pyrin laittamaan vaatteet joissa tunnen oloni varmaksi ja minun ei tarvitse koko ajan korjata jotain osaa asus

STRESS IN A BOTTLE

-

  Overrun, stressed, exhausted, tired, grumpy, unhappy, unhealthy, breathing problems, unfit, a diet that would need to be put in the bin... So many negative words that describe how a person can feel when they do not have a balance in life. Unfortunately almost every day I meet a person who has one or more of these symptoms, YES symptoms. Feeling stressed or anxious is an illness that takes time to heal. Sometimes weeks sometimes months. Simplicity is key in overall life as well as healing. If you wake up every morning dreading the day ahead there is something not right in your current situation.  Let your mind be calm instead of crowding it with millions of thoughts every second. Did you know an average person has over 50 000 thoughts a day? Someone telling you to stop thinking won't really be as simple as we all think (no pun intended).  This positive emptiness comes from little things like writing your thoughts down or having a cup of tea without using your phone at the same tim
