We are a movement company that dabbles in tape.

Mechanoreception Connective tissue and fascia are highly innervated

Often reported only to occur in muscles and joints

The fascial network possesses approximately 10 times the sensory receptors as compared to its muscular counterpart ( van der wall 2009)

Includes many types of receptors:

– Golgi, Ruffini, Pacinian, Free nerve endings (Interoceptors)

Fascia considered more of a perceptual organ than a mechanical organ.

Densification vs. Fibrosis

Fibrosis • Similar to the process of scarring, with the deposition of excessive

amounts of fibrous connective tissue, reflective of a reparative or reactive process. It can obliterate architecture and function of the involved tissue.... If there is alteration of collagen fibrous bundles, the term fascial fibrosis is the term of choice

A. Birbrair

Densification • Indicates an increase in the density of fascia. This is able to modify the

mechanical proprieties of fascia, without altering its general structure.... If there is only an alteration of the loose connective tissue, the term fascial densification is preferred

Interlayer Gliding

Dr. Geoffrey Bove • “It’s all about the interfaces”

• Interfaces are essentially the fascial planes between muscles, nerves, fascia, etc..

• Lack of gliding is the enemy

• Positive treatment effects are at the loose connective tissue and not in the fascia

• Early intervention is the key

Meta-analysis Focused on Pain

Choo Wyn Lim et al, BJSM, 2015

Conclusion: 1. KT is superior to minimal intervention for pain relief. 2. KT as an adjunct is beneficial in pain relief

36

Superior Pain Relief

Choo Wyn Lim et al, BJSM, 2015

Conclusion: 1. Research is telling us that

when used without other interventions, outcomes are good!

2. KT should be used as an

adjunct for treatment

37 Choo Wyn Lim et al, BJSM, 2015

Treat it, tape it, train it

Conclusion: significant improvement when combining tape with

corrective exercise interventions.

38

Pain & ROM

Conclusion: 1.Immediately reduce the threat

of pain 2.The therapeutic KT group

showed immediate improvement in pain-free shoulder abduction

3.These studies are small, but

important to the consumer

39

Pain & ROM

Conclusion:

Patients with acute WAD

receiving KT

exhibited statistically

significant improvements

immediately following

application and at 24-hour

follow-up.

40

Pain and Position Sense

Conclusion: The results showed there was significant difference between no tape and KT for PFP group during descending stairs. K taping can reduce pain and improve the ratio of VMO/VL for the mechanism of patellar stability

Hilton’s Law 1863

“The same trunks of nerves whose branches supply the groups of muscles moving a joint furnish also a distribution of nerves to the skin over the insertions of the same muscles; and - what at this moment more especially merits our attention - the interior of the joint receives its nerves from the same source.”
