Sometimes a pool of blood collects within damaged tissue forming a lump over the injury (hematoma) Insevere cases swelling and bleeding beneath the skin may cause shock If tissue damage is extensiveyou may also have a fractured bone dislocated joint sprain torn muscle or other injuries
Contusions cause swelling and pain and limit joint range of motion near the injury Torn blood vesselsmay cause bluish discoloration The injured muscle may feel weak and stiff
To control pain bleeding and inflammation keep the muscle in a gentle stretch position and use theRICE formula
Rest Protect the injured area from further harm by stopping play You may also use a protectivedevice (ie crutches sling)
Ice Apply ice wrapped in a clean cloth (Remove ice after 20 minutes) Compression Lightly wrap the injured area in a soft bandage or ace wrap Elevation Raise it to a level above the heart
During the first 24 to 48 hours after injury (acute phase) you will probably need to continue using restice compression bandages and elevation of the injured area to control bleeding swelling and painWhile the injured part heals be sure to keep exercising the uninjured parts of your body to maintain your
overall level of fitness
After a few days inflammation should start to go down and the injury may feel a little better

Indigestion is common in adults and can occur once in a while or as often as every day
Indigestion can be caused by a condition in the digestive tract such as gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD) peptic ulcer disease cancer or abnormality of the pancreas or bile ducts If the conditionimproves or resolves the symptoms of indigestion usually improve
Most people with indigestion experience more than one of the following symptoms
Fullness during a meal The person feels overly full soon after the meal starts and cannot finishthe meal
Bothersome fullness after a meal The person feels overly full after a mealmdashit may feel like thefood is staying in the stomach too long
Epigastric pain The epigastric area is between the lower end of the chest bone and the navelThe person may experience epigastric pain ranging from mild to severe
Epigastric burning The person feels an unpleasant sensation of heat in the epigastric area

The causes of frozen shoulder are not fully understood The process involves thickening and contractureof the capsule surrounding the shoulder joint
Frozen shoulder occurs much more commonly in individuals with diabetes affecting 10 percent to 20
percent of these individuals Other medical problems associated with increased risk of frozen shoulder include hypothyroidism hyperthyroidism Parkinsons disease and cardiac disease or surgery
Frozen shoulder can develop after a shoulder is immobilized for a period of time Attempts to preventfrozen shoulder include early motion of the shoulder after it has been injured
Symptoms
- Pain due to frozen shoulder is usually dull or aching It can be worsened with attempted motion Thepain is usually located over the outer shoulder area and sometimes the upper arm
- The hallmark of the disorder is restricted motion or stiffness in the shoulder The affected individualcannot move the shoulder normally Motion is also limited when someone else attempts to move theshoulder for the patient
Treatment
Frozen shoulder will generally get better on its own However this takes some time occasionally up totwo to three years Treatment is aimed at pain control and restoring motion

What most people call the shoulder is really several joints that combine with tendons and muscles toallow a wide range of motion to the arm from scratching your back to throwing the perfect pitch Mobilityhas its price however It may lead to increasing problems with instability or impingement of soft tissueresulting in pain You may feel pain only when the shoulder is moved or all of the time The pain may betemporary and disappear in a short time or it may continue and require medical diagnosis and treatment
Cause
Most shoulder problems involve the soft tissues muscles ligaments and tendons rather than bones And most of these problems fall into three major categories
tendinitisbursitis
injuryinstability arthritis

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a systemic disease that attacks multiple joints throughout the body About90 of the people with rheumatoid arthritis eventually develop symptoms related to the foot or ankle
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Usually symptoms appear in the toes and forefeet first then in the hind feet or the back of the feet andfinally in the ankles
The exact cause of RA is unknown but there are several theories Some people may be more likely todevelop RA because of their genes However it usually takes a chemical or environmental trigger toactivate the disease In RA the bodys immune system turns against itself Instead of protecting the joints
the body produces substances that attack and inflame the joints
Because RA affects your entire system you may also feel feverish tire easily and lose your appetiteYou may develop lumps around your joints particularly by the elbow
Treatment
Exercise is very important in the treatment of RA Your doctor or physical therapist may recommendstretching as well as functional and range of motion exercises

Tennis elbow or lateral epicondylitis is a painful condition of the elbow caused by overuse Notsurprisingly playing tennis or other racquet sports can cause this condition But several other sports andactivities can also put you at risk
Tennis elbow is an inflammation of the tendons that join the forearm muscles on the outside of the elbowThe forearm muscles and tendons become damaged from overuse mdash repeating the same motions again
and again This leads to pain and tenderness on the outside of the elbow
The symptoms of tennis elbow develop gradually In most cases the pain begins as mild and slowlyworsens over weeks and months There is usually no specific injury associated with the start of symptoms
Common signs and symptoms of tennis elbow include
Pain or burning on the outer part of your elbow Weak grip strength
The symptoms are often worsened with forearm activity such as holding a racquet turning a wrench or shaking hands Your dominant arm is most often affected however both arms can be affected
Approximately 80 to 95 of patients have success with nonsurgical treatment

Thumb TendinitisDe Quervains Tendinitis (De Quervains Tendinosis)
De Quervains tendinitis occurs when the tendons around the base of the thumb are irritated or constricted The word tendinitis refers to a swelling of the tendons Thickening of the tendons can causepain and tenderness along the thumb side of the wrist This is particularly noticeable when forming a fistgrasping or gripping things or when turning the wrist
Signs of De Quervains tendinitis
Pain may be felt over the thumb side of the wrist This is the main symptom The pain mayappear either gradually or suddenly Pain is felt in the wrist and can travel up the forearm Thepain is usually worse when the hand and thumb are in use This is especially true when forcefullygrasping objects or twisting the wrist
Swelling may be seen over the thumb side of the wrist This swelling may occur together with afluid-filled cyst in this region
A catching or snapping sensation may be felt when moving the thumb Pain and swelling may make it difficult to move the thumb and wrist
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx

A cramp is an involuntary and forcibly contracted muscle that does not relax Cramps can affect anymuscle under your voluntary control (skeletal muscle) Muscles that span two joints are most prone tocramping Cramps can involve part or all of a muscle or several muscles in a group
The most commonly affected muscle groups are
Back of lower legcalf (gastrocnemius) Back of thigh (hamstrings) Front of thigh (quadriceps)
Cramps in the feet hands arms abdomen and along the rib cage are also very common
Although the exact cause of muscle cramps is unknown (idiopathic) some researchers believeinadequate stretching and muscle fatigue leads to abnormalities in mechanisms that control muscle
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
contraction Other factors may also be involved including poor conditioning exercising or working inintense heat dehydration and depletion of salt and minerals (electrolytes)
Treatment
Cramps usually go away on their own without seeing a doctor
Stop doing whatever activity triggered the cramp Gently stretch and massage the cramping muscle holding it in stretched position until the cramp
stops Apply heat to tensetight muscles or cold to soretender muscles
Prevention
To avoid future cramps work toward better overall fitness Do regular flexibility exercises before and after you work out to stretch muscle groups most prone to cramping

FAQS
1 What does ARES TAPE do
ARES TAPE helps and promotes the movement of lymphatic fluid and blood circulation bylifting the skin of affected areaThe following results are reduction of muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM) andbetter quality of muscle contraction and performance
2 How does it work
HOW IT WORKSPhysiological Effects
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
When a muscle is inflamed swollen or stiff the space between the skin and the muscle is
compressed resulting in constriction and congestion to the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood circulationThis compression applies pressure to the pain receptors located in the space between the skin and the
muscle which in turn relays discomfort signals to the brain resulting in the sense of bdquopain‟ of affectedarea
If you stretch the skin of the affected area before the application of the ARES TAPE the taped area willform wrinkles when the applied area is back to its normal or neutral position The wrinkling effect formedby the ARES TAPE is essential since this lifting of the skin creates more space for lymph and blood flowTherefore the lymph drainage as well as blood circulation in the affected area can be improved effectivelythrough taping application
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Eventually the friction between the tissues beneath the skin is decreased due to the promoted movementof lymphatic fluid and blood circulation Pain is reduced because the pressure on the pain receptors islessened The end results are believed to be reduced muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM)and better quality of muscle contraction
3 What do we need for taping technique
Your ARES TAPE and a pair of specialized taping scissors for taping method would be perfect tostartIn some instances you will also need a partner to help you complete the taping process
4 What benefits distinguish ARES TAPE from other tapes
ARES TAPE is made from high quality cotton fabric - same elasticity as human skinwater-resistant and air-permeable - with heat activated unique patterned adhesive-hypo-allergenic latex free and safe for even highly sensitive skin
5 How is the tape applied is it difficult to apply
It is very simple to apply taping techniques
You can simply apply tape patches big enough to cover affected areas
For better results however you can refer to Mini-Guide in every individual package as well as
Video Clips for each area of body at our website How to use
6 What are suggestions for optimum taping result
1 Skin should be free of oil sweat or lotion prior to application
2 After application rub down tape to activate heat-sensitive adhesive
3 Avoid extreme stretching of the tape during application to avoid skin irritation
4 Apply approximately 30~60mins prior to activity or shower to allow adhesive to adhere
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
5 Skin irritation is extremely rare but care should be taken with hypersensitive skin patients
7 What is the difference between colours
No physical or chemical difference between the colors They are identical in specifications and features other than different colorsColor choice is a matter of individual preference
8 Can it be applied during shower or swimming
Yes it can be worn during shower or swimming as Ares tape is water-resistant air-permeableand highly durable in water
9 How long does it last
Tape will stay on for multiple days at a time We recommend that you do not wear it for more
than 5 days though After several days the acrylic adhesive will have become quite strongtherefore it would be too hard to remove the tape after too many days
10 How can I remove paper backing prior to application
To smoothly remove the paper backing hold the tape vertically and place your index finger onthe top edge of the tape Then by pulling back or flexing your index finger towards your body thetape will peel from its backingAny contact with the acrylic adhesive will diminish its adhesiveabilities Try to touch the adhesive as little as possible
11 What conditions is it commonly used for
Ares Tape has over hundreds of recognized applications which include taping for knee injuries(including patella pain and patella tracking) shoulder injuries back injuries carpal tunnelsyndrome shoulder instability low back pain shin splints plantar fasciitis rotator cuff injury andtennis elbow and etc
12 Should I wear it before exercise
If you have a known condition or if you need a little extra stability amp support it‟s always best totape up before exercise as a preventative measure
13 Do I need to round the ends of the tape prior to application
It is not necessary but it is helpful to round the ends of the tape prior to application The roundinghelps prevent the square edges from catching and may increase the length of tape applicationOtherwise you could trim the edges if the edges of the tape have begun to life during the firstfew days
14 Can I apply tape to help with fractures
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Taping is not a good solution for fractures Seek medical attention if the tape does not provideimmediate relief as it may be an indication of something serious like a fracture
15 Do I need to shave before taping application
For a limited number of people body hair may limit adhesion If the degree of body hair limits
adhesion then you may need to shave or clip the area to be treated
16 Can I apply Tape by myself
It‟s very easy and generally only takes a few tries to get comfortable taping yourself Any of thelower extremity applications (knees shins Achilles tendonitis plantar ITBS) can be applied byyourself easily You will need someonepartner to help apply the neck back and shoulder appsTo remove the tape from the skin it is generally much easier to do when you have bathed or the tape is moist It is best to remove from the top down This will be in the direction of the bodyhair and should limit discomfort Lift the tape from the skin applying tension between the skinand the tape then push the skin away from the tape rather than pulling the tape away from theskin
17 How can I effectively remove tape from skin
To remove the tape from the skin it is generally much easier to do when you have bathed or thetape is moist It is best to remove from the top down This will be in the direction of the body hair and should limit discomfort Lift the tape from the skin applying tension between the skin and thetape then push the skin away from the tape rather than pulling the tape away from the skin
18 Can I apply more than one layer of tape
When applying more than one layer of the tape you should first apply the strip which will providethe primary therapeutic effect desired As successive layers of tape are applied their effect on
the sensory receptors may create interference instead of clear specific stimuli The bestoutcomes generally come from a ldquoless is betterrdquo approach Fewer layers of tape and less tensionare better
19 Why do I have to apply tape in a stretched position of muscletissue
For all basic application technique the muscletissue to be treated should be put in a stretchedposition in combination with the stretch capabilities of the Ares Tape will create convolutions asthe skin is lifted Skin convolutions may be present following the basic application or may appear during normal joint motion It is believed that even if convolutions are not present they areoccurring The convolutions aid in the normal flow of blood and lymphatic fluids
20 Why is it better not to stretch tape for most applications
When applying the taping method mainly for pain relief it is desirable to apply the Ares strip withas less tension as possible If too much tension is applied the effects are diminished

21 What are the differences of Kinesiology taping method fromconventional athletic tapings
During conventional athletic taping proper application requires using all of the available stretchThe concept is that by taking all of the stretch out of the tape it will limit or assist a motion andprovide for protection from injuryre-injury
22 What should I do if I want to apply for pain area which is notlisted in Application section
Tape can be applied over pain areas to be simple Please follow the basic applications for anyapplications
1 To apply the tape onto pain area the skin and muscle of the affected area has to be fully
stretched before application of tape Do not stretch the tape itself and then leave it on for 3~5days
2 When the length of the tape is measured Cut the tape after stretching the muscleskin to
which you are about to apply the tape3 After taping it is desirable if you see wrinkles (convolutions) of the tape when the body returns
to a normal position In some cases wrinkles (convolutions) are not present

The causes of frozen shoulder are not fully understood The process involves thickening and contractureof the capsule surrounding the shoulder joint
Frozen shoulder occurs much more commonly in individuals with diabetes affecting 10 percent to 20
percent of these individuals Other medical problems associated with increased risk of frozen shoulder include hypothyroidism hyperthyroidism Parkinsons disease and cardiac disease or surgery
Frozen shoulder can develop after a shoulder is immobilized for a period of time Attempts to preventfrozen shoulder include early motion of the shoulder after it has been injured
Symptoms
- Pain due to frozen shoulder is usually dull or aching It can be worsened with attempted motion Thepain is usually located over the outer shoulder area and sometimes the upper arm
- The hallmark of the disorder is restricted motion or stiffness in the shoulder The affected individualcannot move the shoulder normally Motion is also limited when someone else attempts to move theshoulder for the patient
Treatment
Frozen shoulder will generally get better on its own However this takes some time occasionally up totwo to three years Treatment is aimed at pain control and restoring motion

What most people call the shoulder is really several joints that combine with tendons and muscles toallow a wide range of motion to the arm from scratching your back to throwing the perfect pitch Mobilityhas its price however It may lead to increasing problems with instability or impingement of soft tissueresulting in pain You may feel pain only when the shoulder is moved or all of the time The pain may betemporary and disappear in a short time or it may continue and require medical diagnosis and treatment
Cause
Most shoulder problems involve the soft tissues muscles ligaments and tendons rather than bones And most of these problems fall into three major categories

Usually symptoms appear in the toes and forefeet first then in the hind feet or the back of the feet andfinally in the ankles
The exact cause of RA is unknown but there are several theories Some people may be more likely todevelop RA because of their genes However it usually takes a chemical or environmental trigger toactivate the disease In RA the bodys immune system turns against itself Instead of protecting the joints
the body produces substances that attack and inflame the joints
Because RA affects your entire system you may also feel feverish tire easily and lose your appetiteYou may develop lumps around your joints particularly by the elbow
Treatment
Exercise is very important in the treatment of RA Your doctor or physical therapist may recommendstretching as well as functional and range of motion exercises

Tennis elbow or lateral epicondylitis is a painful condition of the elbow caused by overuse Notsurprisingly playing tennis or other racquet sports can cause this condition But several other sports andactivities can also put you at risk
Tennis elbow is an inflammation of the tendons that join the forearm muscles on the outside of the elbowThe forearm muscles and tendons become damaged from overuse mdash repeating the same motions again
and again This leads to pain and tenderness on the outside of the elbow
The symptoms of tennis elbow develop gradually In most cases the pain begins as mild and slowlyworsens over weeks and months There is usually no specific injury associated with the start of symptoms
Common signs and symptoms of tennis elbow include
Pain or burning on the outer part of your elbow Weak grip strength
The symptoms are often worsened with forearm activity such as holding a racquet turning a wrench or shaking hands Your dominant arm is most often affected however both arms can be affected
Approximately 80 to 95 of patients have success with nonsurgical treatment

A cramp is an involuntary and forcibly contracted muscle that does not relax Cramps can affect anymuscle under your voluntary control (skeletal muscle) Muscles that span two joints are most prone tocramping Cramps can involve part or all of a muscle or several muscles in a group
The most commonly affected muscle groups are
Back of lower legcalf (gastrocnemius) Back of thigh (hamstrings) Front of thigh (quadriceps)
Cramps in the feet hands arms abdomen and along the rib cage are also very common
Although the exact cause of muscle cramps is unknown (idiopathic) some researchers believeinadequate stretching and muscle fatigue leads to abnormalities in mechanisms that control muscle
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
contraction Other factors may also be involved including poor conditioning exercising or working inintense heat dehydration and depletion of salt and minerals (electrolytes)
Treatment
Cramps usually go away on their own without seeing a doctor
Stop doing whatever activity triggered the cramp Gently stretch and massage the cramping muscle holding it in stretched position until the cramp
stops Apply heat to tensetight muscles or cold to soretender muscles
Prevention
To avoid future cramps work toward better overall fitness Do regular flexibility exercises before and after you work out to stretch muscle groups most prone to cramping

FAQS
1 What does ARES TAPE do
ARES TAPE helps and promotes the movement of lymphatic fluid and blood circulation bylifting the skin of affected areaThe following results are reduction of muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM) andbetter quality of muscle contraction and performance
2 How does it work
HOW IT WORKSPhysiological Effects
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
When a muscle is inflamed swollen or stiff the space between the skin and the muscle is
compressed resulting in constriction and congestion to the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood circulationThis compression applies pressure to the pain receptors located in the space between the skin and the
muscle which in turn relays discomfort signals to the brain resulting in the sense of bdquopain‟ of affectedarea
If you stretch the skin of the affected area before the application of the ARES TAPE the taped area willform wrinkles when the applied area is back to its normal or neutral position The wrinkling effect formedby the ARES TAPE is essential since this lifting of the skin creates more space for lymph and blood flowTherefore the lymph drainage as well as blood circulation in the affected area can be improved effectivelythrough taping application
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Eventually the friction between the tissues beneath the skin is decreased due to the promoted movementof lymphatic fluid and blood circulation Pain is reduced because the pressure on the pain receptors islessened The end results are believed to be reduced muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM)and better quality of muscle contraction
3 What do we need for taping technique
Your ARES TAPE and a pair of specialized taping scissors for taping method would be perfect tostartIn some instances you will also need a partner to help you complete the taping process
4 What benefits distinguish ARES TAPE from other tapes
ARES TAPE is made from high quality cotton fabric - same elasticity as human skinwater-resistant and air-permeable - with heat activated unique patterned adhesive-hypo-allergenic latex free and safe for even highly sensitive skin
5 How is the tape applied is it difficult to apply
It is very simple to apply taping techniques
You can simply apply tape patches big enough to cover affected areas
For better results however you can refer to Mini-Guide in every individual package as well as
Video Clips for each area of body at our website How to use
6 What are suggestions for optimum taping result
1 Skin should be free of oil sweat or lotion prior to application
2 After application rub down tape to activate heat-sensitive adhesive
3 Avoid extreme stretching of the tape during application to avoid skin irritation
4 Apply approximately 30~60mins prior to activity or shower to allow adhesive to adhere
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
5 Skin irritation is extremely rare but care should be taken with hypersensitive skin patients
7 What is the difference between colours
No physical or chemical difference between the colors They are identical in specifications and features other than different colorsColor choice is a matter of individual preference
8 Can it be applied during shower or swimming
Yes it can be worn during shower or swimming as Ares tape is water-resistant air-permeableand highly durable in water
9 How long does it last
Tape will stay on for multiple days at a time We recommend that you do not wear it for more
than 5 days though After several days the acrylic adhesive will have become quite strongtherefore it would be too hard to remove the tape after too many days
10 How can I remove paper backing prior to application
To smoothly remove the paper backing hold the tape vertically and place your index finger onthe top edge of the tape Then by pulling back or flexing your index finger towards your body thetape will peel from its backingAny contact with the acrylic adhesive will diminish its adhesiveabilities Try to touch the adhesive as little as possible
11 What conditions is it commonly used for
Ares Tape has over hundreds of recognized applications which include taping for knee injuries(including patella pain and patella tracking) shoulder injuries back injuries carpal tunnelsyndrome shoulder instability low back pain shin splints plantar fasciitis rotator cuff injury andtennis elbow and etc
12 Should I wear it before exercise
If you have a known condition or if you need a little extra stability amp support it‟s always best totape up before exercise as a preventative measure
13 Do I need to round the ends of the tape prior to application
It is not necessary but it is helpful to round the ends of the tape prior to application The roundinghelps prevent the square edges from catching and may increase the length of tape applicationOtherwise you could trim the edges if the edges of the tape have begun to life during the firstfew days
14 Can I apply tape to help with fractures
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Taping is not a good solution for fractures Seek medical attention if the tape does not provideimmediate relief as it may be an indication of something serious like a fracture
15 Do I need to shave before taping application
For a limited number of people body hair may limit adhesion If the degree of body hair limits
adhesion then you may need to shave or clip the area to be treated
16 Can I apply Tape by myself
It‟s very easy and generally only takes a few tries to get comfortable taping yourself Any of thelower extremity applications (knees shins Achilles tendonitis plantar ITBS) can be applied byyourself easily You will need someonepartner to help apply the neck back and shoulder appsTo remove the tape from the skin it is generally much easier to do when you have bathed or the tape is moist It is best to remove from the top down This will be in the direction of the bodyhair and should limit discomfort Lift the tape from the skin applying tension between the skinand the tape then push the skin away from the tape rather than pulling the tape away from theskin
17 How can I effectively remove tape from skin
To remove the tape from the skin it is generally much easier to do when you have bathed or thetape is moist It is best to remove from the top down This will be in the direction of the body hair and should limit discomfort Lift the tape from the skin applying tension between the skin and thetape then push the skin away from the tape rather than pulling the tape away from the skin
18 Can I apply more than one layer of tape
When applying more than one layer of the tape you should first apply the strip which will providethe primary therapeutic effect desired As successive layers of tape are applied their effect on
the sensory receptors may create interference instead of clear specific stimuli The bestoutcomes generally come from a ldquoless is betterrdquo approach Fewer layers of tape and less tensionare better
19 Why do I have to apply tape in a stretched position of muscletissue
For all basic application technique the muscletissue to be treated should be put in a stretchedposition in combination with the stretch capabilities of the Ares Tape will create convolutions asthe skin is lifted Skin convolutions may be present following the basic application or may appear during normal joint motion It is believed that even if convolutions are not present they areoccurring The convolutions aid in the normal flow of blood and lymphatic fluids
20 Why is it better not to stretch tape for most applications
When applying the taping method mainly for pain relief it is desirable to apply the Ares strip withas less tension as possible If too much tension is applied the effects are diminished

21 What are the differences of Kinesiology taping method fromconventional athletic tapings
During conventional athletic taping proper application requires using all of the available stretchThe concept is that by taking all of the stretch out of the tape it will limit or assist a motion andprovide for protection from injuryre-injury
22 What should I do if I want to apply for pain area which is notlisted in Application section
Tape can be applied over pain areas to be simple Please follow the basic applications for anyapplications
1 To apply the tape onto pain area the skin and muscle of the affected area has to be fully
stretched before application of tape Do not stretch the tape itself and then leave it on for 3~5days
2 When the length of the tape is measured Cut the tape after stretching the muscleskin to
which you are about to apply the tape3 After taping it is desirable if you see wrinkles (convolutions) of the tape when the body returns
to a normal position In some cases wrinkles (convolutions) are not present

Usually symptoms appear in the toes and forefeet first then in the hind feet or the back of the feet andfinally in the ankles
The exact cause of RA is unknown but there are several theories Some people may be more likely todevelop RA because of their genes However it usually takes a chemical or environmental trigger toactivate the disease In RA the bodys immune system turns against itself Instead of protecting the joints
the body produces substances that attack and inflame the joints
Because RA affects your entire system you may also feel feverish tire easily and lose your appetiteYou may develop lumps around your joints particularly by the elbow
Treatment
Exercise is very important in the treatment of RA Your doctor or physical therapist may recommendstretching as well as functional and range of motion exercises

Tennis elbow or lateral epicondylitis is a painful condition of the elbow caused by overuse Notsurprisingly playing tennis or other racquet sports can cause this condition But several other sports andactivities can also put you at risk
Tennis elbow is an inflammation of the tendons that join the forearm muscles on the outside of the elbowThe forearm muscles and tendons become damaged from overuse mdash repeating the same motions again
and again This leads to pain and tenderness on the outside of the elbow
The symptoms of tennis elbow develop gradually In most cases the pain begins as mild and slowlyworsens over weeks and months There is usually no specific injury associated with the start of symptoms
Common signs and symptoms of tennis elbow include
Pain or burning on the outer part of your elbow Weak grip strength
The symptoms are often worsened with forearm activity such as holding a racquet turning a wrench or shaking hands Your dominant arm is most often affected however both arms can be affected
Approximately 80 to 95 of patients have success with nonsurgical treatment

A cramp is an involuntary and forcibly contracted muscle that does not relax Cramps can affect anymuscle under your voluntary control (skeletal muscle) Muscles that span two joints are most prone tocramping Cramps can involve part or all of a muscle or several muscles in a group
The most commonly affected muscle groups are
Back of lower legcalf (gastrocnemius) Back of thigh (hamstrings) Front of thigh (quadriceps)
Cramps in the feet hands arms abdomen and along the rib cage are also very common
Although the exact cause of muscle cramps is unknown (idiopathic) some researchers believeinadequate stretching and muscle fatigue leads to abnormalities in mechanisms that control muscle
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
contraction Other factors may also be involved including poor conditioning exercising or working inintense heat dehydration and depletion of salt and minerals (electrolytes)
Treatment
Cramps usually go away on their own without seeing a doctor
Stop doing whatever activity triggered the cramp Gently stretch and massage the cramping muscle holding it in stretched position until the cramp
stops Apply heat to tensetight muscles or cold to soretender muscles
Prevention
To avoid future cramps work toward better overall fitness Do regular flexibility exercises before and after you work out to stretch muscle groups most prone to cramping

FAQS
1 What does ARES TAPE do
ARES TAPE helps and promotes the movement of lymphatic fluid and blood circulation bylifting the skin of affected areaThe following results are reduction of muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM) andbetter quality of muscle contraction and performance
2 How does it work
HOW IT WORKSPhysiological Effects
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
When a muscle is inflamed swollen or stiff the space between the skin and the muscle is
compressed resulting in constriction and congestion to the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood circulationThis compression applies pressure to the pain receptors located in the space between the skin and the
muscle which in turn relays discomfort signals to the brain resulting in the sense of bdquopain‟ of affectedarea
If you stretch the skin of the affected area before the application of the ARES TAPE the taped area willform wrinkles when the applied area is back to its normal or neutral position The wrinkling effect formedby the ARES TAPE is essential since this lifting of the skin creates more space for lymph and blood flowTherefore the lymph drainage as well as blood circulation in the affected area can be improved effectivelythrough taping application
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Eventually the friction between the tissues beneath the skin is decreased due to the promoted movementof lymphatic fluid and blood circulation Pain is reduced because the pressure on the pain receptors islessened The end results are believed to be reduced muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM)and better quality of muscle contraction
3 What do we need for taping technique
Your ARES TAPE and a pair of specialized taping scissors for taping method would be perfect tostartIn some instances you will also need a partner to help you complete the taping process
4 What benefits distinguish ARES TAPE from other tapes
ARES TAPE is made from high quality cotton fabric - same elasticity as human skinwater-resistant and air-permeable - with heat activated unique patterned adhesive-hypo-allergenic latex free and safe for even highly sensitive skin
5 How is the tape applied is it difficult to apply
It is very simple to apply taping techniques
You can simply apply tape patches big enough to cover affected areas
For better results however you can refer to Mini-Guide in every individual package as well as
Video Clips for each area of body at our website How to use
6 What are suggestions for optimum taping result
1 Skin should be free of oil sweat or lotion prior to application
2 After application rub down tape to activate heat-sensitive adhesive
3 Avoid extreme stretching of the tape during application to avoid skin irritation
4 Apply approximately 30~60mins prior to activity or shower to allow adhesive to adhere
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
5 Skin irritation is extremely rare but care should be taken with hypersensitive skin patients
7 What is the difference between colours
No physical or chemical difference between the colors They are identical in specifications and features other than different colorsColor choice is a matter of individual preference
8 Can it be applied during shower or swimming
Yes it can be worn during shower or swimming as Ares tape is water-resistant air-permeableand highly durable in water
9 How long does it last
Tape will stay on for multiple days at a time We recommend that you do not wear it for more
than 5 days though After several days the acrylic adhesive will have become quite strongtherefore it would be too hard to remove the tape after too many days
10 How can I remove paper backing prior to application
To smoothly remove the paper backing hold the tape vertically and place your index finger onthe top edge of the tape Then by pulling back or flexing your index finger towards your body thetape will peel from its backingAny contact with the acrylic adhesive will diminish its adhesiveabilities Try to touch the adhesive as little as possible
11 What conditions is it commonly used for
Ares Tape has over hundreds of recognized applications which include taping for knee injuries(including patella pain and patella tracking) shoulder injuries back injuries carpal tunnelsyndrome shoulder instability low back pain shin splints plantar fasciitis rotator cuff injury andtennis elbow and etc
12 Should I wear it before exercise
If you have a known condition or if you need a little extra stability amp support it‟s always best totape up before exercise as a preventative measure
13 Do I need to round the ends of the tape prior to application
It is not necessary but it is helpful to round the ends of the tape prior to application The roundinghelps prevent the square edges from catching and may increase the length of tape applicationOtherwise you could trim the edges if the edges of the tape have begun to life during the firstfew days
14 Can I apply tape to help with fractures
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Taping is not a good solution for fractures Seek medical attention if the tape does not provideimmediate relief as it may be an indication of something serious like a fracture
15 Do I need to shave before taping application
For a limited number of people body hair may limit adhesion If the degree of body hair limits
adhesion then you may need to shave or clip the area to be treated
16 Can I apply Tape by myself
It‟s very easy and generally only takes a few tries to get comfortable taping yourself Any of thelower extremity applications (knees shins Achilles tendonitis plantar ITBS) can be applied byyourself easily You will need someonepartner to help apply the neck back and shoulder appsTo remove the tape from the skin it is generally much easier to do when you have bathed or the tape is moist It is best to remove from the top down This will be in the direction of the bodyhair and should limit discomfort Lift the tape from the skin applying tension between the skinand the tape then push the skin away from the tape rather than pulling the tape away from theskin
17 How can I effectively remove tape from skin
To remove the tape from the skin it is generally much easier to do when you have bathed or thetape is moist It is best to remove from the top down This will be in the direction of the body hair and should limit discomfort Lift the tape from the skin applying tension between the skin and thetape then push the skin away from the tape rather than pulling the tape away from the skin
18 Can I apply more than one layer of tape
When applying more than one layer of the tape you should first apply the strip which will providethe primary therapeutic effect desired As successive layers of tape are applied their effect on
the sensory receptors may create interference instead of clear specific stimuli The bestoutcomes generally come from a ldquoless is betterrdquo approach Fewer layers of tape and less tensionare better
19 Why do I have to apply tape in a stretched position of muscletissue
For all basic application technique the muscletissue to be treated should be put in a stretchedposition in combination with the stretch capabilities of the Ares Tape will create convolutions asthe skin is lifted Skin convolutions may be present following the basic application or may appear during normal joint motion It is believed that even if convolutions are not present they areoccurring The convolutions aid in the normal flow of blood and lymphatic fluids
20 Why is it better not to stretch tape for most applications
When applying the taping method mainly for pain relief it is desirable to apply the Ares strip withas less tension as possible If too much tension is applied the effects are diminished

21 What are the differences of Kinesiology taping method fromconventional athletic tapings
During conventional athletic taping proper application requires using all of the available stretchThe concept is that by taking all of the stretch out of the tape it will limit or assist a motion andprovide for protection from injuryre-injury
22 What should I do if I want to apply for pain area which is notlisted in Application section
Tape can be applied over pain areas to be simple Please follow the basic applications for anyapplications
1 To apply the tape onto pain area the skin and muscle of the affected area has to be fully
stretched before application of tape Do not stretch the tape itself and then leave it on for 3~5days
2 When the length of the tape is measured Cut the tape after stretching the muscleskin to
which you are about to apply the tape3 After taping it is desirable if you see wrinkles (convolutions) of the tape when the body returns
to a normal position In some cases wrinkles (convolutions) are not present

The causes of frozen shoulder are not fully understood The process involves thickening and contractureof the capsule surrounding the shoulder joint
Frozen shoulder occurs much more commonly in individuals with diabetes affecting 10 percent to 20
percent of these individuals Other medical problems associated with increased risk of frozen shoulder include hypothyroidism hyperthyroidism Parkinsons disease and cardiac disease or surgery
Frozen shoulder can develop after a shoulder is immobilized for a period of time Attempts to preventfrozen shoulder include early motion of the shoulder after it has been injured
Symptoms
- Pain due to frozen shoulder is usually dull or aching It can be worsened with attempted motion Thepain is usually located over the outer shoulder area and sometimes the upper arm
- The hallmark of the disorder is restricted motion or stiffness in the shoulder The affected individualcannot move the shoulder normally Motion is also limited when someone else attempts to move theshoulder for the patient
Treatment
Frozen shoulder will generally get better on its own However this takes some time occasionally up totwo to three years Treatment is aimed at pain control and restoring motion

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a systemic disease that attacks multiple joints throughout the body About90 of the people with rheumatoid arthritis eventually develop symptoms related to the foot or ankle
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Usually symptoms appear in the toes and forefeet first then in the hind feet or the back of the feet andfinally in the ankles
The exact cause of RA is unknown but there are several theories Some people may be more likely todevelop RA because of their genes However it usually takes a chemical or environmental trigger toactivate the disease In RA the bodys immune system turns against itself Instead of protecting the joints
the body produces substances that attack and inflame the joints
Because RA affects your entire system you may also feel feverish tire easily and lose your appetiteYou may develop lumps around your joints particularly by the elbow
Treatment
Exercise is very important in the treatment of RA Your doctor or physical therapist may recommendstretching as well as functional and range of motion exercises

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a systemic disease that attacks multiple joints throughout the body About90 of the people with rheumatoid arthritis eventually develop symptoms related to the foot or ankleUsually symptoms appear in the toes and forefeet first then in the hind feet or the back of the feet andfinally in the ankles
The exact cause of RA is unknown but there are several theories Some people may be more likely todevelop RA because of their genes However it usually takes a chemical or environmental trigger toactivate the disease In RA the bodys immune system turns against itself Instead of protecting the jointsthe body produces substances that attack and inflame the joints
Because RA affects your entire system you may also feel feverish tire easily and lose your appetiteYou may develop lumps around your joints particularly by the elbow
Treatment
Exercise is very important in the treatment of RA Your doctor or physical therapist may recommendstretching as well as functional and range of motion exercises

A cramp is an involuntary and forcibly contracted muscle that does not relax Cramps can affect anymuscle under your voluntary control (skeletal muscle) Muscles that span two joints are most prone tocramping Cramps can involve part or all of a muscle or several muscles in a group
The most commonly affected muscle groups are
Back of lower legcalf (gastrocnemius) Back of thigh (hamstrings) Front of thigh (quadriceps)
Cramps in the feet hands arms abdomen and along the rib cage are also very common
Although the exact cause of muscle cramps is unknown (idiopathic) some researchers believeinadequate stretching and muscle fatigue leads to abnormalities in mechanisms that control muscle
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
contraction Other factors may also be involved including poor conditioning exercising or working inintense heat dehydration and depletion of salt and minerals (electrolytes)
Treatment
Cramps usually go away on their own without seeing a doctor
Stop doing whatever activity triggered the cramp Gently stretch and massage the cramping muscle holding it in stretched position until the cramp
stops Apply heat to tensetight muscles or cold to soretender muscles
Prevention
To avoid future cramps work toward better overall fitness Do regular flexibility exercises before and after you work out to stretch muscle groups most prone to cramping

FAQS
1 What does ARES TAPE do
ARES TAPE helps and promotes the movement of lymphatic fluid and blood circulation bylifting the skin of affected areaThe following results are reduction of muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM) andbetter quality of muscle contraction and performance
2 How does it work
HOW IT WORKSPhysiological Effects
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
When a muscle is inflamed swollen or stiff the space between the skin and the muscle is
compressed resulting in constriction and congestion to the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood circulationThis compression applies pressure to the pain receptors located in the space between the skin and the
muscle which in turn relays discomfort signals to the brain resulting in the sense of bdquopain‟ of affectedarea
If you stretch the skin of the affected area before the application of the ARES TAPE the taped area willform wrinkles when the applied area is back to its normal or neutral position The wrinkling effect formedby the ARES TAPE is essential since this lifting of the skin creates more space for lymph and blood flowTherefore the lymph drainage as well as blood circulation in the affected area can be improved effectivelythrough taping application
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Eventually the friction between the tissues beneath the skin is decreased due to the promoted movementof lymphatic fluid and blood circulation Pain is reduced because the pressure on the pain receptors islessened The end results are believed to be reduced muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM)and better quality of muscle contraction
3 What do we need for taping technique
Your ARES TAPE and a pair of specialized taping scissors for taping method would be perfect tostartIn some instances you will also need a partner to help you complete the taping process
4 What benefits distinguish ARES TAPE from other tapes
ARES TAPE is made from high quality cotton fabric - same elasticity as human skinwater-resistant and air-permeable - with heat activated unique patterned adhesive-hypo-allergenic latex free and safe for even highly sensitive skin

It is very simple to apply taping techniques
You can simply apply tape patches big enough to cover affected areas
For better results however you can refer to Mini-Guide in every individual package as well as
Video Clips for each area of body at our website How to use
6 What are suggestions for optimum taping result
1 Skin should be free of oil sweat or lotion prior to application
2 After application rub down tape to activate heat-sensitive adhesive
3 Avoid extreme stretching of the tape during application to avoid skin irritation
4 Apply approximately 30~60mins prior to activity or shower to allow adhesive to adhere
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
5 Skin irritation is extremely rare but care should be taken with hypersensitive skin patients
7 What is the difference between colours
No physical or chemical difference between the colors They are identical in specifications and features other than different colorsColor choice is a matter of individual preference
8 Can it be applied during shower or swimming
Yes it can be worn during shower or swimming as Ares tape is water-resistant air-permeableand highly durable in water
9 How long does it last
Tape will stay on for multiple days at a time We recommend that you do not wear it for more
than 5 days though After several days the acrylic adhesive will have become quite strongtherefore it would be too hard to remove the tape after too many days
10 How can I remove paper backing prior to application
To smoothly remove the paper backing hold the tape vertically and place your index finger onthe top edge of the tape Then by pulling back or flexing your index finger towards your body thetape will peel from its backingAny contact with the acrylic adhesive will diminish its adhesiveabilities Try to touch the adhesive as little as possible
11 What conditions is it commonly used for
Ares Tape has over hundreds of recognized applications which include taping for knee injuries(including patella pain and patella tracking) shoulder injuries back injuries carpal tunnelsyndrome shoulder instability low back pain shin splints plantar fasciitis rotator cuff injury andtennis elbow and etc
12 Should I wear it before exercise
If you have a known condition or if you need a little extra stability amp support it‟s always best totape up before exercise as a preventative measure
13 Do I need to round the ends of the tape prior to application
It is not necessary but it is helpful to round the ends of the tape prior to application The roundinghelps prevent the square edges from catching and may increase the length of tape applicationOtherwise you could trim the edges if the edges of the tape have begun to life during the firstfew days
14 Can I apply tape to help with fractures
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Taping is not a good solution for fractures Seek medical attention if the tape does not provideimmediate relief as it may be an indication of something serious like a fracture
15 Do I need to shave before taping application
For a limited number of people body hair may limit adhesion If the degree of body hair limits
adhesion then you may need to shave or clip the area to be treated
16 Can I apply Tape by myself
It‟s very easy and generally only takes a few tries to get comfortable taping yourself Any of thelower extremity applications (knees shins Achilles tendonitis plantar ITBS) can be applied byyourself easily You will need someonepartner to help apply the neck back and shoulder appsTo remove the tape from the skin it is generally much easier to do when you have bathed or the tape is moist It is best to remove from the top down This will be in the direction of the bodyhair and should limit discomfort Lift the tape from the skin applying tension between the skinand the tape then push the skin away from the tape rather than pulling the tape away from theskin
17 How can I effectively remove tape from skin
To remove the tape from the skin it is generally much easier to do when you have bathed or thetape is moist It is best to remove from the top down This will be in the direction of the body hair and should limit discomfort Lift the tape from the skin applying tension between the skin and thetape then push the skin away from the tape rather than pulling the tape away from the skin
18 Can I apply more than one layer of tape
When applying more than one layer of the tape you should first apply the strip which will providethe primary therapeutic effect desired As successive layers of tape are applied their effect on
the sensory receptors may create interference instead of clear specific stimuli The bestoutcomes generally come from a ldquoless is betterrdquo approach Fewer layers of tape and less tensionare better
19 Why do I have to apply tape in a stretched position of muscletissue
For all basic application technique the muscletissue to be treated should be put in a stretchedposition in combination with the stretch capabilities of the Ares Tape will create convolutions asthe skin is lifted Skin convolutions may be present following the basic application or may appear during normal joint motion It is believed that even if convolutions are not present they areoccurring The convolutions aid in the normal flow of blood and lymphatic fluids
20 Why is it better not to stretch tape for most applications
When applying the taping method mainly for pain relief it is desirable to apply the Ares strip withas less tension as possible If too much tension is applied the effects are diminished

21 What are the differences of Kinesiology taping method fromconventional athletic tapings
During conventional athletic taping proper application requires using all of the available stretchThe concept is that by taking all of the stretch out of the tape it will limit or assist a motion andprovide for protection from injuryre-injury
22 What should I do if I want to apply for pain area which is notlisted in Application section
Tape can be applied over pain areas to be simple Please follow the basic applications for anyapplications
1 To apply the tape onto pain area the skin and muscle of the affected area has to be fully
stretched before application of tape Do not stretch the tape itself and then leave it on for 3~5days
2 When the length of the tape is measured Cut the tape after stretching the muscleskin to
which you are about to apply the tape3 After taping it is desirable if you see wrinkles (convolutions) of the tape when the body returns
to a normal position In some cases wrinkles (convolutions) are not present

The causes of frozen shoulder are not fully understood The process involves thickening and contractureof the capsule surrounding the shoulder joint
Frozen shoulder occurs much more commonly in individuals with diabetes affecting 10 percent to 20
percent of these individuals Other medical problems associated with increased risk of frozen shoulder include hypothyroidism hyperthyroidism Parkinsons disease and cardiac disease or surgery
Frozen shoulder can develop after a shoulder is immobilized for a period of time Attempts to preventfrozen shoulder include early motion of the shoulder after it has been injured
Symptoms
- Pain due to frozen shoulder is usually dull or aching It can be worsened with attempted motion Thepain is usually located over the outer shoulder area and sometimes the upper arm
- The hallmark of the disorder is restricted motion or stiffness in the shoulder The affected individualcannot move the shoulder normally Motion is also limited when someone else attempts to move theshoulder for the patient
Treatment
Frozen shoulder will generally get better on its own However this takes some time occasionally up totwo to three years Treatment is aimed at pain control and restoring motion

Tennis elbow or lateral epicondylitis is a painful condition of the elbow caused by overuse Notsurprisingly playing tennis or other racquet sports can cause this condition But several other sports andactivities can also put you at risk
Tennis elbow is an inflammation of the tendons that join the forearm muscles on the outside of the elbowThe forearm muscles and tendons become damaged from overuse mdash repeating the same motions again
and again This leads to pain and tenderness on the outside of the elbow
The symptoms of tennis elbow develop gradually In most cases the pain begins as mild and slowlyworsens over weeks and months There is usually no specific injury associated with the start of symptoms
Common signs and symptoms of tennis elbow include
Pain or burning on the outer part of your elbow Weak grip strength
The symptoms are often worsened with forearm activity such as holding a racquet turning a wrench or shaking hands Your dominant arm is most often affected however both arms can be affected
Approximately 80 to 95 of patients have success with nonsurgical treatment

A cramp is an involuntary and forcibly contracted muscle that does not relax Cramps can affect anymuscle under your voluntary control (skeletal muscle) Muscles that span two joints are most prone tocramping Cramps can involve part or all of a muscle or several muscles in a group
The most commonly affected muscle groups are
Back of lower legcalf (gastrocnemius) Back of thigh (hamstrings) Front of thigh (quadriceps)
Cramps in the feet hands arms abdomen and along the rib cage are also very common
Although the exact cause of muscle cramps is unknown (idiopathic) some researchers believeinadequate stretching and muscle fatigue leads to abnormalities in mechanisms that control muscle

contraction Other factors may also be involved including poor conditioning exercising or working inintense heat dehydration and depletion of salt and minerals (electrolytes)
Treatment
Cramps usually go away on their own without seeing a doctor
Stop doing whatever activity triggered the cramp Gently stretch and massage the cramping muscle holding it in stretched position until the cramp
stops Apply heat to tensetight muscles or cold to soretender muscles
Prevention
To avoid future cramps work toward better overall fitness Do regular flexibility exercises before and after you work out to stretch muscle groups most prone to cramping

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a systemic disease that attacks multiple joints throughout the body About90 of the people with rheumatoid arthritis eventually develop symptoms related to the foot or ankleUsually symptoms appear in the toes and forefeet first then in the hind feet or the back of the feet andfinally in the ankles
The exact cause of RA is unknown but there are several theories Some people may be more likely todevelop RA because of their genes However it usually takes a chemical or environmental trigger toactivate the disease In RA the bodys immune system turns against itself Instead of protecting the jointsthe body produces substances that attack and inflame the joints
Because RA affects your entire system you may also feel feverish tire easily and lose your appetiteYou may develop lumps around your joints particularly by the elbow

FAQS
1 What does ARES TAPE do
ARES TAPE helps and promotes the movement of lymphatic fluid and blood circulation bylifting the skin of affected areaThe following results are reduction of muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM) andbetter quality of muscle contraction and performance
2 How does it work
HOW IT WORKSPhysiological Effects
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
When a muscle is inflamed swollen or stiff the space between the skin and the muscle is
compressed resulting in constriction and congestion to the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood circulationThis compression applies pressure to the pain receptors located in the space between the skin and the
muscle which in turn relays discomfort signals to the brain resulting in the sense of bdquopain‟ of affectedarea
If you stretch the skin of the affected area before the application of the ARES TAPE the taped area willform wrinkles when the applied area is back to its normal or neutral position The wrinkling effect formedby the ARES TAPE is essential since this lifting of the skin creates more space for lymph and blood flowTherefore the lymph drainage as well as blood circulation in the affected area can be improved effectivelythrough taping application
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Eventually the friction between the tissues beneath the skin is decreased due to the promoted movementof lymphatic fluid and blood circulation Pain is reduced because the pressure on the pain receptors islessened The end results are believed to be reduced muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM)and better quality of muscle contraction
3 What do we need for taping technique
Your ARES TAPE and a pair of specialized taping scissors for taping method would be perfect tostartIn some instances you will also need a partner to help you complete the taping process
4 What benefits distinguish ARES TAPE from other tapes
ARES TAPE is made from high quality cotton fabric - same elasticity as human skinwater-resistant and air-permeable - with heat activated unique patterned adhesive-hypo-allergenic latex free and safe for even highly sensitive skin
5 How is the tape applied is it difficult to apply
It is very simple to apply taping techniques
You can simply apply tape patches big enough to cover affected areas
For better results however you can refer to Mini-Guide in every individual package as well as
Video Clips for each area of body at our website How to use
6 What are suggestions for optimum taping result
1 Skin should be free of oil sweat or lotion prior to application
2 After application rub down tape to activate heat-sensitive adhesive
3 Avoid extreme stretching of the tape during application to avoid skin irritation
4 Apply approximately 30~60mins prior to activity or shower to allow adhesive to adhere
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
5 Skin irritation is extremely rare but care should be taken with hypersensitive skin patients
7 What is the difference between colours
No physical or chemical difference between the colors They are identical in specifications and features other than different colorsColor choice is a matter of individual preference
8 Can it be applied during shower or swimming
Yes it can be worn during shower or swimming as Ares tape is water-resistant air-permeableand highly durable in water
9 How long does it last
Tape will stay on for multiple days at a time We recommend that you do not wear it for more
than 5 days though After several days the acrylic adhesive will have become quite strongtherefore it would be too hard to remove the tape after too many days
10 How can I remove paper backing prior to application
To smoothly remove the paper backing hold the tape vertically and place your index finger onthe top edge of the tape Then by pulling back or flexing your index finger towards your body thetape will peel from its backingAny contact with the acrylic adhesive will diminish its adhesiveabilities Try to touch the adhesive as little as possible
11 What conditions is it commonly used for
Ares Tape has over hundreds of recognized applications which include taping for knee injuries(including patella pain and patella tracking) shoulder injuries back injuries carpal tunnelsyndrome shoulder instability low back pain shin splints plantar fasciitis rotator cuff injury andtennis elbow and etc
12 Should I wear it before exercise
If you have a known condition or if you need a little extra stability amp support it‟s always best totape up before exercise as a preventative measure
13 Do I need to round the ends of the tape prior to application
It is not necessary but it is helpful to round the ends of the tape prior to application The roundinghelps prevent the square edges from catching and may increase the length of tape applicationOtherwise you could trim the edges if the edges of the tape have begun to life during the firstfew days
14 Can I apply tape to help with fractures
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Taping is not a good solution for fractures Seek medical attention if the tape does not provideimmediate relief as it may be an indication of something serious like a fracture
15 Do I need to shave before taping application
For a limited number of people body hair may limit adhesion If the degree of body hair limits
adhesion then you may need to shave or clip the area to be treated
16 Can I apply Tape by myself
It‟s very easy and generally only takes a few tries to get comfortable taping yourself Any of thelower extremity applications (knees shins Achilles tendonitis plantar ITBS) can be applied byyourself easily You will need someonepartner to help apply the neck back and shoulder appsTo remove the tape from the skin it is generally much easier to do when you have bathed or the tape is moist It is best to remove from the top down This will be in the direction of the bodyhair and should limit discomfort Lift the tape from the skin applying tension between the skinand the tape then push the skin away from the tape rather than pulling the tape away from theskin
17 How can I effectively remove tape from skin
To remove the tape from the skin it is generally much easier to do when you have bathed or thetape is moist It is best to remove from the top down This will be in the direction of the body hair and should limit discomfort Lift the tape from the skin applying tension between the skin and thetape then push the skin away from the tape rather than pulling the tape away from the skin
18 Can I apply more than one layer of tape
When applying more than one layer of the tape you should first apply the strip which will providethe primary therapeutic effect desired As successive layers of tape are applied their effect on
the sensory receptors may create interference instead of clear specific stimuli The bestoutcomes generally come from a ldquoless is betterrdquo approach Fewer layers of tape and less tensionare better
19 Why do I have to apply tape in a stretched position of muscletissue
For all basic application technique the muscletissue to be treated should be put in a stretchedposition in combination with the stretch capabilities of the Ares Tape will create convolutions asthe skin is lifted Skin convolutions may be present following the basic application or may appear during normal joint motion It is believed that even if convolutions are not present they areoccurring The convolutions aid in the normal flow of blood and lymphatic fluids
20 Why is it better not to stretch tape for most applications
When applying the taping method mainly for pain relief it is desirable to apply the Ares strip withas less tension as possible If too much tension is applied the effects are diminished

21 What are the differences of Kinesiology taping method fromconventional athletic tapings
During conventional athletic taping proper application requires using all of the available stretchThe concept is that by taking all of the stretch out of the tape it will limit or assist a motion andprovide for protection from injuryre-injury
22 What should I do if I want to apply for pain area which is notlisted in Application section
Tape can be applied over pain areas to be simple Please follow the basic applications for anyapplications
1 To apply the tape onto pain area the skin and muscle of the affected area has to be fully
stretched before application of tape Do not stretch the tape itself and then leave it on for 3~5days
2 When the length of the tape is measured Cut the tape after stretching the muscleskin to
which you are about to apply the tape3 After taping it is desirable if you see wrinkles (convolutions) of the tape when the body returns
to a normal position In some cases wrinkles (convolutions) are not present

The causes of frozen shoulder are not fully understood The process involves thickening and contractureof the capsule surrounding the shoulder joint
Frozen shoulder occurs much more commonly in individuals with diabetes affecting 10 percent to 20
percent of these individuals Other medical problems associated with increased risk of frozen shoulder include hypothyroidism hyperthyroidism Parkinsons disease and cardiac disease or surgery
Frozen shoulder can develop after a shoulder is immobilized for a period of time Attempts to preventfrozen shoulder include early motion of the shoulder after it has been injured
Symptoms
- Pain due to frozen shoulder is usually dull or aching It can be worsened with attempted motion Thepain is usually located over the outer shoulder area and sometimes the upper arm
- The hallmark of the disorder is restricted motion or stiffness in the shoulder The affected individualcannot move the shoulder normally Motion is also limited when someone else attempts to move theshoulder for the patient
Treatment
Frozen shoulder will generally get better on its own However this takes some time occasionally up totwo to three years Treatment is aimed at pain control and restoring motion

Tennis elbow or lateral epicondylitis is a painful condition of the elbow caused by overuse Notsurprisingly playing tennis or other racquet sports can cause this condition But several other sports andactivities can also put you at risk
Tennis elbow is an inflammation of the tendons that join the forearm muscles on the outside of the elbowThe forearm muscles and tendons become damaged from overuse mdash repeating the same motions again
and again This leads to pain and tenderness on the outside of the elbow
The symptoms of tennis elbow develop gradually In most cases the pain begins as mild and slowlyworsens over weeks and months There is usually no specific injury associated with the start of symptoms
Common signs and symptoms of tennis elbow include
Pain or burning on the outer part of your elbow Weak grip strength
The symptoms are often worsened with forearm activity such as holding a racquet turning a wrench or shaking hands Your dominant arm is most often affected however both arms can be affected
Approximately 80 to 95 of patients have success with nonsurgical treatment

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a systemic disease that attacks multiple joints throughout the body About90 of the people with rheumatoid arthritis eventually develop symptoms related to the foot or ankle
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Usually symptoms appear in the toes and forefeet first then in the hind feet or the back of the feet andfinally in the ankles
The exact cause of RA is unknown but there are several theories Some people may be more likely todevelop RA because of their genes However it usually takes a chemical or environmental trigger toactivate the disease In RA the bodys immune system turns against itself Instead of protecting the joints
the body produces substances that attack and inflame the joints
Because RA affects your entire system you may also feel feverish tire easily and lose your appetiteYou may develop lumps around your joints particularly by the elbow
Treatment
Exercise is very important in the treatment of RA Your doctor or physical therapist may recommendstretching as well as functional and range of motion exercises

A cramp is an involuntary and forcibly contracted muscle that does not relax Cramps can affect anymuscle under your voluntary control (skeletal muscle) Muscles that span two joints are most prone tocramping Cramps can involve part or all of a muscle or several muscles in a group
The most commonly affected muscle groups are
Back of lower legcalf (gastrocnemius) Back of thigh (hamstrings) Front of thigh (quadriceps)
Cramps in the feet hands arms abdomen and along the rib cage are also very common
Although the exact cause of muscle cramps is unknown (idiopathic) some researchers believeinadequate stretching and muscle fatigue leads to abnormalities in mechanisms that control muscle
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
contraction Other factors may also be involved including poor conditioning exercising or working inintense heat dehydration and depletion of salt and minerals (electrolytes)
Treatment
Cramps usually go away on their own without seeing a doctor
Stop doing whatever activity triggered the cramp Gently stretch and massage the cramping muscle holding it in stretched position until the cramp
stops Apply heat to tensetight muscles or cold to soretender muscles
Prevention
To avoid future cramps work toward better overall fitness Do regular flexibility exercises before and after you work out to stretch muscle groups most prone to cramping

A cramp is an involuntary and forcibly contracted muscle that does not relax Cramps can affect anymuscle under your voluntary control (skeletal muscle) Muscles that span two joints are most prone tocramping Cramps can involve part or all of a muscle or several muscles in a group
The most commonly affected muscle groups are
Back of lower legcalf (gastrocnemius) Back of thigh (hamstrings) Front of thigh (quadriceps)
Cramps in the feet hands arms abdomen and along the rib cage are also very common
Although the exact cause of muscle cramps is unknown (idiopathic) some researchers believeinadequate stretching and muscle fatigue leads to abnormalities in mechanisms that control muscle
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
contraction Other factors may also be involved including poor conditioning exercising or working inintense heat dehydration and depletion of salt and minerals (electrolytes)
Treatment
Cramps usually go away on their own without seeing a doctor
Stop doing whatever activity triggered the cramp Gently stretch and massage the cramping muscle holding it in stretched position until the cramp
stops Apply heat to tensetight muscles or cold to soretender muscles
Prevention
To avoid future cramps work toward better overall fitness Do regular flexibility exercises before and after you work out to stretch muscle groups most prone to cramping

FAQS
1 What does ARES TAPE do
ARES TAPE helps and promotes the movement of lymphatic fluid and blood circulation bylifting the skin of affected areaThe following results are reduction of muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM) andbetter quality of muscle contraction and performance
2 How does it work
HOW IT WORKSPhysiological Effects
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
When a muscle is inflamed swollen or stiff the space between the skin and the muscle is
compressed resulting in constriction and congestion to the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood circulationThis compression applies pressure to the pain receptors located in the space between the skin and the
muscle which in turn relays discomfort signals to the brain resulting in the sense of bdquopain‟ of affectedarea
If you stretch the skin of the affected area before the application of the ARES TAPE the taped area willform wrinkles when the applied area is back to its normal or neutral position The wrinkling effect formedby the ARES TAPE is essential since this lifting of the skin creates more space for lymph and blood flowTherefore the lymph drainage as well as blood circulation in the affected area can be improved effectivelythrough taping application
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Eventually the friction between the tissues beneath the skin is decreased due to the promoted movementof lymphatic fluid and blood circulation Pain is reduced because the pressure on the pain receptors islessened The end results are believed to be reduced muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM)and better quality of muscle contraction
3 What do we need for taping technique
Your ARES TAPE and a pair of specialized taping scissors for taping method would be perfect tostartIn some instances you will also need a partner to help you complete the taping process
4 What benefits distinguish ARES TAPE from other tapes
ARES TAPE is made from high quality cotton fabric - same elasticity as human skinwater-resistant and air-permeable - with heat activated unique patterned adhesive-hypo-allergenic latex free and safe for even highly sensitive skin
5 How is the tape applied is it difficult to apply
It is very simple to apply taping techniques
You can simply apply tape patches big enough to cover affected areas
For better results however you can refer to Mini-Guide in every individual package as well as
Video Clips for each area of body at our website How to use
6 What are suggestions for optimum taping result
1 Skin should be free of oil sweat or lotion prior to application
2 After application rub down tape to activate heat-sensitive adhesive
3 Avoid extreme stretching of the tape during application to avoid skin irritation
4 Apply approximately 30~60mins prior to activity or shower to allow adhesive to adhere
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
5 Skin irritation is extremely rare but care should be taken with hypersensitive skin patients
7 What is the difference between colours
No physical or chemical difference between the colors They are identical in specifications and features other than different colorsColor choice is a matter of individual preference
8 Can it be applied during shower or swimming
Yes it can be worn during shower or swimming as Ares tape is water-resistant air-permeableand highly durable in water
9 How long does it last
Tape will stay on for multiple days at a time We recommend that you do not wear it for more
than 5 days though After several days the acrylic adhesive will have become quite strongtherefore it would be too hard to remove the tape after too many days
10 How can I remove paper backing prior to application
To smoothly remove the paper backing hold the tape vertically and place your index finger onthe top edge of the tape Then by pulling back or flexing your index finger towards your body thetape will peel from its backingAny contact with the acrylic adhesive will diminish its adhesiveabilities Try to touch the adhesive as little as possible
11 What conditions is it commonly used for
Ares Tape has over hundreds of recognized applications which include taping for knee injuries(including patella pain and patella tracking) shoulder injuries back injuries carpal tunnelsyndrome shoulder instability low back pain shin splints plantar fasciitis rotator cuff injury andtennis elbow and etc
12 Should I wear it before exercise
If you have a known condition or if you need a little extra stability amp support it‟s always best totape up before exercise as a preventative measure
13 Do I need to round the ends of the tape prior to application
It is not necessary but it is helpful to round the ends of the tape prior to application The roundinghelps prevent the square edges from catching and may increase the length of tape applicationOtherwise you could trim the edges if the edges of the tape have begun to life during the firstfew days
14 Can I apply tape to help with fractures
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Taping is not a good solution for fractures Seek medical attention if the tape does not provideimmediate relief as it may be an indication of something serious like a fracture
15 Do I need to shave before taping application
For a limited number of people body hair may limit adhesion If the degree of body hair limits
adhesion then you may need to shave or clip the area to be treated
16 Can I apply Tape by myself
It‟s very easy and generally only takes a few tries to get comfortable taping yourself Any of thelower extremity applications (knees shins Achilles tendonitis plantar ITBS) can be applied byyourself easily You will need someonepartner to help apply the neck back and shoulder appsTo remove the tape from the skin it is generally much easier to do when you have bathed or the tape is moist It is best to remove from the top down This will be in the direction of the bodyhair and should limit discomfort Lift the tape from the skin applying tension between the skinand the tape then push the skin away from the tape rather than pulling the tape away from theskin
17 How can I effectively remove tape from skin
To remove the tape from the skin it is generally much easier to do when you have bathed or thetape is moist It is best to remove from the top down This will be in the direction of the body hair and should limit discomfort Lift the tape from the skin applying tension between the skin and thetape then push the skin away from the tape rather than pulling the tape away from the skin
18 Can I apply more than one layer of tape
When applying more than one layer of the tape you should first apply the strip which will providethe primary therapeutic effect desired As successive layers of tape are applied their effect on
the sensory receptors may create interference instead of clear specific stimuli The bestoutcomes generally come from a ldquoless is betterrdquo approach Fewer layers of tape and less tensionare better
19 Why do I have to apply tape in a stretched position of muscletissue
For all basic application technique the muscletissue to be treated should be put in a stretchedposition in combination with the stretch capabilities of the Ares Tape will create convolutions asthe skin is lifted Skin convolutions may be present following the basic application or may appear during normal joint motion It is believed that even if convolutions are not present they areoccurring The convolutions aid in the normal flow of blood and lymphatic fluids

The exact cause of RA is unknown but there are several theories Some people may be more likely todevelop RA because of their genes However it usually takes a chemical or environmental trigger toactivate the disease In RA the bodys immune system turns against itself Instead of protecting the jointsthe body produces substances that attack and inflame the joints
Because RA affects your entire system you may also feel feverish tire easily and lose your appetiteYou may develop lumps around your joints particularly by the elbow
Treatment
Exercise is very important in the treatment of RA Your doctor or physical therapist may recommendstretching as well as functional and range of motion exercises

FAQS
1 What does ARES TAPE do
ARES TAPE helps and promotes the movement of lymphatic fluid and blood circulation bylifting the skin of affected areaThe following results are reduction of muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM) andbetter quality of muscle contraction and performance
2 How does it work
HOW IT WORKSPhysiological Effects
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
When a muscle is inflamed swollen or stiff the space between the skin and the muscle is
compressed resulting in constriction and congestion to the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood circulationThis compression applies pressure to the pain receptors located in the space between the skin and the
muscle which in turn relays discomfort signals to the brain resulting in the sense of bdquopain‟ of affectedarea
If you stretch the skin of the affected area before the application of the ARES TAPE the taped area willform wrinkles when the applied area is back to its normal or neutral position The wrinkling effect formedby the ARES TAPE is essential since this lifting of the skin creates more space for lymph and blood flowTherefore the lymph drainage as well as blood circulation in the affected area can be improved effectivelythrough taping application
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Eventually the friction between the tissues beneath the skin is decreased due to the promoted movementof lymphatic fluid and blood circulation Pain is reduced because the pressure on the pain receptors islessened The end results are believed to be reduced muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM)and better quality of muscle contraction
3 What do we need for taping technique
Your ARES TAPE and a pair of specialized taping scissors for taping method would be perfect tostartIn some instances you will also need a partner to help you complete the taping process
4 What benefits distinguish ARES TAPE from other tapes
ARES TAPE is made from high quality cotton fabric - same elasticity as human skinwater-resistant and air-permeable - with heat activated unique patterned adhesive-hypo-allergenic latex free and safe for even highly sensitive skin
5 How is the tape applied is it difficult to apply
It is very simple to apply taping techniques
You can simply apply tape patches big enough to cover affected areas
For better results however you can refer to Mini-Guide in every individual package as well as
Video Clips for each area of body at our website How to use
6 What are suggestions for optimum taping result
1 Skin should be free of oil sweat or lotion prior to application
2 After application rub down tape to activate heat-sensitive adhesive
3 Avoid extreme stretching of the tape during application to avoid skin irritation
4 Apply approximately 30~60mins prior to activity or shower to allow adhesive to adhere
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
5 Skin irritation is extremely rare but care should be taken with hypersensitive skin patients
7 What is the difference between colours
No physical or chemical difference between the colors They are identical in specifications and features other than different colorsColor choice is a matter of individual preference
8 Can it be applied during shower or swimming
Yes it can be worn during shower or swimming as Ares tape is water-resistant air-permeableand highly durable in water
9 How long does it last
Tape will stay on for multiple days at a time We recommend that you do not wear it for more
than 5 days though After several days the acrylic adhesive will have become quite strongtherefore it would be too hard to remove the tape after too many days
10 How can I remove paper backing prior to application
To smoothly remove the paper backing hold the tape vertically and place your index finger onthe top edge of the tape Then by pulling back or flexing your index finger towards your body thetape will peel from its backingAny contact with the acrylic adhesive will diminish its adhesiveabilities Try to touch the adhesive as little as possible
11 What conditions is it commonly used for
Ares Tape has over hundreds of recognized applications which include taping for knee injuries(including patella pain and patella tracking) shoulder injuries back injuries carpal tunnelsyndrome shoulder instability low back pain shin splints plantar fasciitis rotator cuff injury andtennis elbow and etc
12 Should I wear it before exercise
If you have a known condition or if you need a little extra stability amp support it‟s always best totape up before exercise as a preventative measure
13 Do I need to round the ends of the tape prior to application
It is not necessary but it is helpful to round the ends of the tape prior to application The roundinghelps prevent the square edges from catching and may increase the length of tape applicationOtherwise you could trim the edges if the edges of the tape have begun to life during the firstfew days
14 Can I apply tape to help with fractures
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Taping is not a good solution for fractures Seek medical attention if the tape does not provideimmediate relief as it may be an indication of something serious like a fracture
15 Do I need to shave before taping application
For a limited number of people body hair may limit adhesion If the degree of body hair limits
adhesion then you may need to shave or clip the area to be treated
16 Can I apply Tape by myself
It‟s very easy and generally only takes a few tries to get comfortable taping yourself Any of thelower extremity applications (knees shins Achilles tendonitis plantar ITBS) can be applied byyourself easily You will need someonepartner to help apply the neck back and shoulder appsTo remove the tape from the skin it is generally much easier to do when you have bathed or the tape is moist It is best to remove from the top down This will be in the direction of the bodyhair and should limit discomfort Lift the tape from the skin applying tension between the skinand the tape then push the skin away from the tape rather than pulling the tape away from theskin
17 How can I effectively remove tape from skin
To remove the tape from the skin it is generally much easier to do when you have bathed or thetape is moist It is best to remove from the top down This will be in the direction of the body hair and should limit discomfort Lift the tape from the skin applying tension between the skin and thetape then push the skin away from the tape rather than pulling the tape away from the skin
18 Can I apply more than one layer of tape
When applying more than one layer of the tape you should first apply the strip which will providethe primary therapeutic effect desired As successive layers of tape are applied their effect on
the sensory receptors may create interference instead of clear specific stimuli The bestoutcomes generally come from a ldquoless is betterrdquo approach Fewer layers of tape and less tensionare better
19 Why do I have to apply tape in a stretched position of muscletissue
For all basic application technique the muscletissue to be treated should be put in a stretchedposition in combination with the stretch capabilities of the Ares Tape will create convolutions asthe skin is lifted Skin convolutions may be present following the basic application or may appear during normal joint motion It is believed that even if convolutions are not present they areoccurring The convolutions aid in the normal flow of blood and lymphatic fluids
20 Why is it better not to stretch tape for most applications
When applying the taping method mainly for pain relief it is desirable to apply the Ares strip withas less tension as possible If too much tension is applied the effects are diminished

21 What are the differences of Kinesiology taping method fromconventional athletic tapings
During conventional athletic taping proper application requires using all of the available stretchThe concept is that by taking all of the stretch out of the tape it will limit or assist a motion andprovide for protection from injuryre-injury
22 What should I do if I want to apply for pain area which is notlisted in Application section
Tape can be applied over pain areas to be simple Please follow the basic applications for anyapplications
1 To apply the tape onto pain area the skin and muscle of the affected area has to be fully
stretched before application of tape Do not stretch the tape itself and then leave it on for 3~5days
2 When the length of the tape is measured Cut the tape after stretching the muscleskin to
which you are about to apply the tape3 After taping it is desirable if you see wrinkles (convolutions) of the tape when the body returns
to a normal position In some cases wrinkles (convolutions) are not present

The exact cause of RA is unknown but there are several theories Some people may be more likely todevelop RA because of their genes However it usually takes a chemical or environmental trigger toactivate the disease In RA the bodys immune system turns against itself Instead of protecting the jointsthe body produces substances that attack and inflame the joints
Because RA affects your entire system you may also feel feverish tire easily and lose your appetiteYou may develop lumps around your joints particularly by the elbow
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Exercise is very important in the treatment of RA Your doctor or physical therapist may recommendstretching as well as functional and range of motion exercises

FAQS
1 What does ARES TAPE do
ARES TAPE helps and promotes the movement of lymphatic fluid and blood circulation bylifting the skin of affected areaThe following results are reduction of muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM) andbetter quality of muscle contraction and performance
2 How does it work
HOW IT WORKSPhysiological Effects
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
When a muscle is inflamed swollen or stiff the space between the skin and the muscle is
compressed resulting in constriction and congestion to the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood circulationThis compression applies pressure to the pain receptors located in the space between the skin and the
muscle which in turn relays discomfort signals to the brain resulting in the sense of bdquopain‟ of affectedarea
If you stretch the skin of the affected area before the application of the ARES TAPE the taped area willform wrinkles when the applied area is back to its normal or neutral position The wrinkling effect formedby the ARES TAPE is essential since this lifting of the skin creates more space for lymph and blood flowTherefore the lymph drainage as well as blood circulation in the affected area can be improved effectivelythrough taping application
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Eventually the friction between the tissues beneath the skin is decreased due to the promoted movementof lymphatic fluid and blood circulation Pain is reduced because the pressure on the pain receptors islessened The end results are believed to be reduced muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM)and better quality of muscle contraction
3 What do we need for taping technique

18 Can I apply more than one layer of tape
When applying more than one layer of the tape you should first apply the strip which will providethe primary therapeutic effect desired As successive layers of tape are applied their effect on
the sensory receptors may create interference instead of clear specific stimuli The bestoutcomes generally come from a ldquoless is betterrdquo approach Fewer layers of tape and less tensionare better
19 Why do I have to apply tape in a stretched position of muscletissue
For all basic application technique the muscletissue to be treated should be put in a stretchedposition in combination with the stretch capabilities of the Ares Tape will create convolutions asthe skin is lifted Skin convolutions may be present following the basic application or may appear during normal joint motion It is believed that even if convolutions are not present they areoccurring The convolutions aid in the normal flow of blood and lymphatic fluids
20 Why is it better not to stretch tape for most applications
When applying the taping method mainly for pain relief it is desirable to apply the Ares strip withas less tension as possible If too much tension is applied the effects are diminished

A cramp is an involuntary and forcibly contracted muscle that does not relax Cramps can affect anymuscle under your voluntary control (skeletal muscle) Muscles that span two joints are most prone tocramping Cramps can involve part or all of a muscle or several muscles in a group
The most commonly affected muscle groups are
Back of lower legcalf (gastrocnemius) Back of thigh (hamstrings) Front of thigh (quadriceps)
Cramps in the feet hands arms abdomen and along the rib cage are also very common
Although the exact cause of muscle cramps is unknown (idiopathic) some researchers believeinadequate stretching and muscle fatigue leads to abnormalities in mechanisms that control muscle
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
contraction Other factors may also be involved including poor conditioning exercising or working inintense heat dehydration and depletion of salt and minerals (electrolytes)
Treatment
Cramps usually go away on their own without seeing a doctor
Stop doing whatever activity triggered the cramp Gently stretch and massage the cramping muscle holding it in stretched position until the cramp
stops Apply heat to tensetight muscles or cold to soretender muscles
Prevention
To avoid future cramps work toward better overall fitness Do regular flexibility exercises before and after you work out to stretch muscle groups most prone to cramping

19 Why do I have to apply tape in a stretched position of muscletissue
For all basic application technique the muscletissue to be treated should be put in a stretchedposition in combination with the stretch capabilities of the Ares Tape will create convolutions asthe skin is lifted Skin convolutions may be present following the basic application or may appear during normal joint motion It is believed that even if convolutions are not present they areoccurring The convolutions aid in the normal flow of blood and lymphatic fluids
20 Why is it better not to stretch tape for most applications
When applying the taping method mainly for pain relief it is desirable to apply the Ares strip withas less tension as possible If too much tension is applied the effects are diminished

21 What are the differences of Kinesiology taping method fromconventional athletic tapings
During conventional athletic taping proper application requires using all of the available stretchThe concept is that by taking all of the stretch out of the tape it will limit or assist a motion andprovide for protection from injuryre-injury
22 What should I do if I want to apply for pain area which is notlisted in Application section
Tape can be applied over pain areas to be simple Please follow the basic applications for anyapplications
1 To apply the tape onto pain area the skin and muscle of the affected area has to be fully
stretched before application of tape Do not stretch the tape itself and then leave it on for 3~5days
2 When the length of the tape is measured Cut the tape after stretching the muscleskin to
which you are about to apply the tape3 After taping it is desirable if you see wrinkles (convolutions) of the tape when the body returns
to a normal position In some cases wrinkles (convolutions) are not present

A cramp is an involuntary and forcibly contracted muscle that does not relax Cramps can affect anymuscle under your voluntary control (skeletal muscle) Muscles that span two joints are most prone tocramping Cramps can involve part or all of a muscle or several muscles in a group
The most commonly affected muscle groups are
Back of lower legcalf (gastrocnemius) Back of thigh (hamstrings) Front of thigh (quadriceps)
Cramps in the feet hands arms abdomen and along the rib cage are also very common
Although the exact cause of muscle cramps is unknown (idiopathic) some researchers believeinadequate stretching and muscle fatigue leads to abnormalities in mechanisms that control muscle
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
contraction Other factors may also be involved including poor conditioning exercising or working inintense heat dehydration and depletion of salt and minerals (electrolytes)
Treatment
Cramps usually go away on their own without seeing a doctor
Stop doing whatever activity triggered the cramp Gently stretch and massage the cramping muscle holding it in stretched position until the cramp
stops Apply heat to tensetight muscles or cold to soretender muscles
Prevention
To avoid future cramps work toward better overall fitness Do regular flexibility exercises before and after you work out to stretch muscle groups most prone to cramping

FAQS
1 What does ARES TAPE do
ARES TAPE helps and promotes the movement of lymphatic fluid and blood circulation bylifting the skin of affected areaThe following results are reduction of muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM) andbetter quality of muscle contraction and performance
2 How does it work
HOW IT WORKSPhysiological Effects
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
When a muscle is inflamed swollen or stiff the space between the skin and the muscle is
compressed resulting in constriction and congestion to the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood circulationThis compression applies pressure to the pain receptors located in the space between the skin and the
muscle which in turn relays discomfort signals to the brain resulting in the sense of bdquopain‟ of affectedarea
If you stretch the skin of the affected area before the application of the ARES TAPE the taped area willform wrinkles when the applied area is back to its normal or neutral position The wrinkling effect formedby the ARES TAPE is essential since this lifting of the skin creates more space for lymph and blood flowTherefore the lymph drainage as well as blood circulation in the affected area can be improved effectivelythrough taping application
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Eventually the friction between the tissues beneath the skin is decreased due to the promoted movementof lymphatic fluid and blood circulation Pain is reduced because the pressure on the pain receptors islessened The end results are believed to be reduced muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM)and better quality of muscle contraction
3 What do we need for taping technique
Your ARES TAPE and a pair of specialized taping scissors for taping method would be perfect tostartIn some instances you will also need a partner to help you complete the taping process
4 What benefits distinguish ARES TAPE from other tapes
ARES TAPE is made from high quality cotton fabric - same elasticity as human skinwater-resistant and air-permeable - with heat activated unique patterned adhesive-hypo-allergenic latex free and safe for even highly sensitive skin
5 How is the tape applied is it difficult to apply
It is very simple to apply taping techniques
You can simply apply tape patches big enough to cover affected areas
For better results however you can refer to Mini-Guide in every individual package as well as
Video Clips for each area of body at our website How to use
6 What are suggestions for optimum taping result
1 Skin should be free of oil sweat or lotion prior to application
2 After application rub down tape to activate heat-sensitive adhesive
3 Avoid extreme stretching of the tape during application to avoid skin irritation
4 Apply approximately 30~60mins prior to activity or shower to allow adhesive to adhere
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
5 Skin irritation is extremely rare but care should be taken with hypersensitive skin patients
7 What is the difference between colours
No physical or chemical difference between the colors They are identical in specifications and features other than different colorsColor choice is a matter of individual preference
8 Can it be applied during shower or swimming
Yes it can be worn during shower or swimming as Ares tape is water-resistant air-permeableand highly durable in water
9 How long does it last
Tape will stay on for multiple days at a time We recommend that you do not wear it for more
than 5 days though After several days the acrylic adhesive will have become quite strongtherefore it would be too hard to remove the tape after too many days
10 How can I remove paper backing prior to application
To smoothly remove the paper backing hold the tape vertically and place your index finger onthe top edge of the tape Then by pulling back or flexing your index finger towards your body thetape will peel from its backingAny contact with the acrylic adhesive will diminish its adhesiveabilities Try to touch the adhesive as little as possible
11 What conditions is it commonly used for
Ares Tape has over hundreds of recognized applications which include taping for knee injuries(including patella pain and patella tracking) shoulder injuries back injuries carpal tunnelsyndrome shoulder instability low back pain shin splints plantar fasciitis rotator cuff injury andtennis elbow and etc
12 Should I wear it before exercise
If you have a known condition or if you need a little extra stability amp support it‟s always best totape up before exercise as a preventative measure
13 Do I need to round the ends of the tape prior to application
It is not necessary but it is helpful to round the ends of the tape prior to application The roundinghelps prevent the square edges from catching and may increase the length of tape applicationOtherwise you could trim the edges if the edges of the tape have begun to life during the firstfew days
14 Can I apply tape to help with fractures
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Taping is not a good solution for fractures Seek medical attention if the tape does not provideimmediate relief as it may be an indication of something serious like a fracture
15 Do I need to shave before taping application
For a limited number of people body hair may limit adhesion If the degree of body hair limits
adhesion then you may need to shave or clip the area to be treated
16 Can I apply Tape by myself
It‟s very easy and generally only takes a few tries to get comfortable taping yourself Any of thelower extremity applications (knees shins Achilles tendonitis plantar ITBS) can be applied byyourself easily You will need someonepartner to help apply the neck back and shoulder appsTo remove the tape from the skin it is generally much easier to do when you have bathed or the tape is moist It is best to remove from the top down This will be in the direction of the bodyhair and should limit discomfort Lift the tape from the skin applying tension between the skinand the tape then push the skin away from the tape rather than pulling the tape away from theskin
17 How can I effectively remove tape from skin

The exact cause of RA is unknown but there are several theories Some people may be more likely todevelop RA because of their genes However it usually takes a chemical or environmental trigger toactivate the disease In RA the bodys immune system turns against itself Instead of protecting the jointsthe body produces substances that attack and inflame the joints
Because RA affects your entire system you may also feel feverish tire easily and lose your appetiteYou may develop lumps around your joints particularly by the elbow
Treatment
Exercise is very important in the treatment of RA Your doctor or physical therapist may recommendstretching as well as functional and range of motion exercises

A cramp is an involuntary and forcibly contracted muscle that does not relax Cramps can affect anymuscle under your voluntary control (skeletal muscle) Muscles that span two joints are most prone tocramping Cramps can involve part or all of a muscle or several muscles in a group
The most commonly affected muscle groups are
Back of lower legcalf (gastrocnemius) Back of thigh (hamstrings) Front of thigh (quadriceps)
Cramps in the feet hands arms abdomen and along the rib cage are also very common
Although the exact cause of muscle cramps is unknown (idiopathic) some researchers believeinadequate stretching and muscle fatigue leads to abnormalities in mechanisms that control muscle

contraction Other factors may also be involved including poor conditioning exercising or working inintense heat dehydration and depletion of salt and minerals (electrolytes)
Treatment
Cramps usually go away on their own without seeing a doctor
Stop doing whatever activity triggered the cramp Gently stretch and massage the cramping muscle holding it in stretched position until the cramp
stops Apply heat to tensetight muscles or cold to soretender muscles
Prevention
To avoid future cramps work toward better overall fitness Do regular flexibility exercises before and after you work out to stretch muscle groups most prone to cramping

FAQS
1 What does ARES TAPE do
ARES TAPE helps and promotes the movement of lymphatic fluid and blood circulation bylifting the skin of affected areaThe following results are reduction of muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM) andbetter quality of muscle contraction and performance
2 How does it work
HOW IT WORKSPhysiological Effects
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
When a muscle is inflamed swollen or stiff the space between the skin and the muscle is
compressed resulting in constriction and congestion to the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood circulationThis compression applies pressure to the pain receptors located in the space between the skin and the
muscle which in turn relays discomfort signals to the brain resulting in the sense of bdquopain‟ of affectedarea
If you stretch the skin of the affected area before the application of the ARES TAPE the taped area willform wrinkles when the applied area is back to its normal or neutral position The wrinkling effect formedby the ARES TAPE is essential since this lifting of the skin creates more space for lymph and blood flowTherefore the lymph drainage as well as blood circulation in the affected area can be improved effectivelythrough taping application
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Eventually the friction between the tissues beneath the skin is decreased due to the promoted movementof lymphatic fluid and blood circulation Pain is reduced because the pressure on the pain receptors islessened The end results are believed to be reduced muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM)and better quality of muscle contraction
3 What do we need for taping technique
Your ARES TAPE and a pair of specialized taping scissors for taping method would be perfect tostartIn some instances you will also need a partner to help you complete the taping process
4 What benefits distinguish ARES TAPE from other tapes

If you have a known condition or if you need a little extra stability amp support it‟s always best totape up before exercise as a preventative measure
13 Do I need to round the ends of the tape prior to application
It is not necessary but it is helpful to round the ends of the tape prior to application The roundinghelps prevent the square edges from catching and may increase the length of tape applicationOtherwise you could trim the edges if the edges of the tape have begun to life during the firstfew days
14 Can I apply tape to help with fractures
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Taping is not a good solution for fractures Seek medical attention if the tape does not provideimmediate relief as it may be an indication of something serious like a fracture
15 Do I need to shave before taping application
For a limited number of people body hair may limit adhesion If the degree of body hair limits
adhesion then you may need to shave or clip the area to be treated
16 Can I apply Tape by myself
It‟s very easy and generally only takes a few tries to get comfortable taping yourself Any of thelower extremity applications (knees shins Achilles tendonitis plantar ITBS) can be applied byyourself easily You will need someonepartner to help apply the neck back and shoulder appsTo remove the tape from the skin it is generally much easier to do when you have bathed or the tape is moist It is best to remove from the top down This will be in the direction of the bodyhair and should limit discomfort Lift the tape from the skin applying tension between the skinand the tape then push the skin away from the tape rather than pulling the tape away from theskin
17 How can I effectively remove tape from skin
To remove the tape from the skin it is generally much easier to do when you have bathed or thetape is moist It is best to remove from the top down This will be in the direction of the body hair and should limit discomfort Lift the tape from the skin applying tension between the skin and thetape then push the skin away from the tape rather than pulling the tape away from the skin
18 Can I apply more than one layer of tape
When applying more than one layer of the tape you should first apply the strip which will providethe primary therapeutic effect desired As successive layers of tape are applied their effect on
the sensory receptors may create interference instead of clear specific stimuli The bestoutcomes generally come from a ldquoless is betterrdquo approach Fewer layers of tape and less tensionare better
19 Why do I have to apply tape in a stretched position of muscletissue
For all basic application technique the muscletissue to be treated should be put in a stretchedposition in combination with the stretch capabilities of the Ares Tape will create convolutions asthe skin is lifted Skin convolutions may be present following the basic application or may appear during normal joint motion It is believed that even if convolutions are not present they areoccurring The convolutions aid in the normal flow of blood and lymphatic fluids
20 Why is it better not to stretch tape for most applications
When applying the taping method mainly for pain relief it is desirable to apply the Ares strip withas less tension as possible If too much tension is applied the effects are diminished

21 What are the differences of Kinesiology taping method fromconventional athletic tapings
During conventional athletic taping proper application requires using all of the available stretchThe concept is that by taking all of the stretch out of the tape it will limit or assist a motion andprovide for protection from injuryre-injury
22 What should I do if I want to apply for pain area which is notlisted in Application section
Tape can be applied over pain areas to be simple Please follow the basic applications for anyapplications
1 To apply the tape onto pain area the skin and muscle of the affected area has to be fully
stretched before application of tape Do not stretch the tape itself and then leave it on for 3~5days
2 When the length of the tape is measured Cut the tape after stretching the muscleskin to
which you are about to apply the tape3 After taping it is desirable if you see wrinkles (convolutions) of the tape when the body returns
to a normal position In some cases wrinkles (convolutions) are not present

It‟s very easy and generally only takes a few tries to get comfortable taping yourself Any of thelower extremity applications (knees shins Achilles tendonitis plantar ITBS) can be applied byyourself easily You will need someonepartner to help apply the neck back and shoulder appsTo remove the tape from the skin it is generally much easier to do when you have bathed or the tape is moist It is best to remove from the top down This will be in the direction of the bodyhair and should limit discomfort Lift the tape from the skin applying tension between the skinand the tape then push the skin away from the tape rather than pulling the tape away from theskin
17 How can I effectively remove tape from skin
To remove the tape from the skin it is generally much easier to do when you have bathed or thetape is moist It is best to remove from the top down This will be in the direction of the body hair and should limit discomfort Lift the tape from the skin applying tension between the skin and thetape then push the skin away from the tape rather than pulling the tape away from the skin
18 Can I apply more than one layer of tape
When applying more than one layer of the tape you should first apply the strip which will providethe primary therapeutic effect desired As successive layers of tape are applied their effect on
the sensory receptors may create interference instead of clear specific stimuli The bestoutcomes generally come from a ldquoless is betterrdquo approach Fewer layers of tape and less tensionare better
19 Why do I have to apply tape in a stretched position of muscletissue
For all basic application technique the muscletissue to be treated should be put in a stretchedposition in combination with the stretch capabilities of the Ares Tape will create convolutions asthe skin is lifted Skin convolutions may be present following the basic application or may appear during normal joint motion It is believed that even if convolutions are not present they areoccurring The convolutions aid in the normal flow of blood and lymphatic fluids
20 Why is it better not to stretch tape for most applications
When applying the taping method mainly for pain relief it is desirable to apply the Ares strip withas less tension as possible If too much tension is applied the effects are diminished

21 What are the differences of Kinesiology taping method fromconventional athletic tapings
During conventional athletic taping proper application requires using all of the available stretchThe concept is that by taking all of the stretch out of the tape it will limit or assist a motion andprovide for protection from injuryre-injury
22 What should I do if I want to apply for pain area which is notlisted in Application section
Tape can be applied over pain areas to be simple Please follow the basic applications for anyapplications
1 To apply the tape onto pain area the skin and muscle of the affected area has to be fully
stretched before application of tape Do not stretch the tape itself and then leave it on for 3~5days
2 When the length of the tape is measured Cut the tape after stretching the muscleskin to
which you are about to apply the tape3 After taping it is desirable if you see wrinkles (convolutions) of the tape when the body returns
to a normal position In some cases wrinkles (convolutions) are not present

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a systemic disease that attacks multiple joints throughout the body About90 of the people with rheumatoid arthritis eventually develop symptoms related to the foot or ankleUsually symptoms appear in the toes and forefeet first then in the hind feet or the back of the feet andfinally in the ankles
The exact cause of RA is unknown but there are several theories Some people may be more likely todevelop RA because of their genes However it usually takes a chemical or environmental trigger toactivate the disease In RA the bodys immune system turns against itself Instead of protecting the jointsthe body produces substances that attack and inflame the joints
Because RA affects your entire system you may also feel feverish tire easily and lose your appetiteYou may develop lumps around your joints particularly by the elbow
Treatment
Exercise is very important in the treatment of RA Your doctor or physical therapist may recommendstretching as well as functional and range of motion exercises

A cramp is an involuntary and forcibly contracted muscle that does not relax Cramps can affect anymuscle under your voluntary control (skeletal muscle) Muscles that span two joints are most prone tocramping Cramps can involve part or all of a muscle or several muscles in a group
The most commonly affected muscle groups are
Back of lower legcalf (gastrocnemius) Back of thigh (hamstrings) Front of thigh (quadriceps)
Cramps in the feet hands arms abdomen and along the rib cage are also very common
Although the exact cause of muscle cramps is unknown (idiopathic) some researchers believeinadequate stretching and muscle fatigue leads to abnormalities in mechanisms that control muscle

contraction Other factors may also be involved including poor conditioning exercising or working inintense heat dehydration and depletion of salt and minerals (electrolytes)
Treatment
Cramps usually go away on their own without seeing a doctor
Stop doing whatever activity triggered the cramp Gently stretch and massage the cramping muscle holding it in stretched position until the cramp
stops Apply heat to tensetight muscles or cold to soretender muscles
Prevention
To avoid future cramps work toward better overall fitness Do regular flexibility exercises before and after you work out to stretch muscle groups most prone to cramping

FAQS
1 What does ARES TAPE do
ARES TAPE helps and promotes the movement of lymphatic fluid and blood circulation bylifting the skin of affected areaThe following results are reduction of muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM) andbetter quality of muscle contraction and performance
2 How does it work
HOW IT WORKSPhysiological Effects
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
When a muscle is inflamed swollen or stiff the space between the skin and the muscle is
compressed resulting in constriction and congestion to the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood circulationThis compression applies pressure to the pain receptors located in the space between the skin and the
muscle which in turn relays discomfort signals to the brain resulting in the sense of bdquopain‟ of affectedarea
If you stretch the skin of the affected area before the application of the ARES TAPE the taped area willform wrinkles when the applied area is back to its normal or neutral position The wrinkling effect formedby the ARES TAPE is essential since this lifting of the skin creates more space for lymph and blood flowTherefore the lymph drainage as well as blood circulation in the affected area can be improved effectivelythrough taping application
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Eventually the friction between the tissues beneath the skin is decreased due to the promoted movementof lymphatic fluid and blood circulation Pain is reduced because the pressure on the pain receptors islessened The end results are believed to be reduced muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM)and better quality of muscle contraction
3 What do we need for taping technique
Your ARES TAPE and a pair of specialized taping scissors for taping method would be perfect tostartIn some instances you will also need a partner to help you complete the taping process
4 What benefits distinguish ARES TAPE from other tapes

You can simply apply tape patches big enough to cover affected areas
For better results however you can refer to Mini-Guide in every individual package as well as
Video Clips for each area of body at our website How to use
6 What are suggestions for optimum taping result
1 Skin should be free of oil sweat or lotion prior to application
2 After application rub down tape to activate heat-sensitive adhesive
3 Avoid extreme stretching of the tape during application to avoid skin irritation
4 Apply approximately 30~60mins prior to activity or shower to allow adhesive to adhere
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
5 Skin irritation is extremely rare but care should be taken with hypersensitive skin patients
7 What is the difference between colours

13 Do I need to round the ends of the tape prior to application
It is not necessary but it is helpful to round the ends of the tape prior to application The roundinghelps prevent the square edges from catching and may increase the length of tape applicationOtherwise you could trim the edges if the edges of the tape have begun to life during the firstfew days
14 Can I apply tape to help with fractures
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Taping is not a good solution for fractures Seek medical attention if the tape does not provideimmediate relief as it may be an indication of something serious like a fracture
15 Do I need to shave before taping application
For a limited number of people body hair may limit adhesion If the degree of body hair limits
adhesion then you may need to shave or clip the area to be treated
16 Can I apply Tape by myself

FAQS
1 What does ARES TAPE do
ARES TAPE helps and promotes the movement of lymphatic fluid and blood circulation bylifting the skin of affected areaThe following results are reduction of muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM) andbetter quality of muscle contraction and performance
2 How does it work
HOW IT WORKSPhysiological Effects
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
When a muscle is inflamed swollen or stiff the space between the skin and the muscle is
compressed resulting in constriction and congestion to the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood circulationThis compression applies pressure to the pain receptors located in the space between the skin and the
muscle which in turn relays discomfort signals to the brain resulting in the sense of bdquopain‟ of affectedarea
If you stretch the skin of the affected area before the application of the ARES TAPE the taped area willform wrinkles when the applied area is back to its normal or neutral position The wrinkling effect formedby the ARES TAPE is essential since this lifting of the skin creates more space for lymph and blood flowTherefore the lymph drainage as well as blood circulation in the affected area can be improved effectivelythrough taping application
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Eventually the friction between the tissues beneath the skin is decreased due to the promoted movementof lymphatic fluid and blood circulation Pain is reduced because the pressure on the pain receptors islessened The end results are believed to be reduced muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM)and better quality of muscle contraction
3 What do we need for taping technique
Your ARES TAPE and a pair of specialized taping scissors for taping method would be perfect tostartIn some instances you will also need a partner to help you complete the taping process
4 What benefits distinguish ARES TAPE from other tapes

13 Do I need to round the ends of the tape prior to application
It is not necessary but it is helpful to round the ends of the tape prior to application The roundinghelps prevent the square edges from catching and may increase the length of tape applicationOtherwise you could trim the edges if the edges of the tape have begun to life during the firstfew days
14 Can I apply tape to help with fractures
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Taping is not a good solution for fractures Seek medical attention if the tape does not provideimmediate relief as it may be an indication of something serious like a fracture
15 Do I need to shave before taping application
For a limited number of people body hair may limit adhesion If the degree of body hair limits
adhesion then you may need to shave or clip the area to be treated
16 Can I apply Tape by myself
It‟s very easy and generally only takes a few tries to get comfortable taping yourself Any of thelower extremity applications (knees shins Achilles tendonitis plantar ITBS) can be applied byyourself easily You will need someonepartner to help apply the neck back and shoulder appsTo remove the tape from the skin it is generally much easier to do when you have bathed or the tape is moist It is best to remove from the top down This will be in the direction of the bodyhair and should limit discomfort Lift the tape from the skin applying tension between the skinand the tape then push the skin away from the tape rather than pulling the tape away from theskin
17 How can I effectively remove tape from skin
To remove the tape from the skin it is generally much easier to do when you have bathed or thetape is moist It is best to remove from the top down This will be in the direction of the body hair and should limit discomfort Lift the tape from the skin applying tension between the skin and thetape then push the skin away from the tape rather than pulling the tape away from the skin
18 Can I apply more than one layer of tape
When applying more than one layer of the tape you should first apply the strip which will providethe primary therapeutic effect desired As successive layers of tape are applied their effect on
the sensory receptors may create interference instead of clear specific stimuli The bestoutcomes generally come from a ldquoless is betterrdquo approach Fewer layers of tape and less tensionare better
19 Why do I have to apply tape in a stretched position of muscletissue
For all basic application technique the muscletissue to be treated should be put in a stretchedposition in combination with the stretch capabilities of the Ares Tape will create convolutions asthe skin is lifted Skin convolutions may be present following the basic application or may appear during normal joint motion It is believed that even if convolutions are not present they areoccurring The convolutions aid in the normal flow of blood and lymphatic fluids
20 Why is it better not to stretch tape for most applications
When applying the taping method mainly for pain relief it is desirable to apply the Ares strip withas less tension as possible If too much tension is applied the effects are diminished

A cramp is an involuntary and forcibly contracted muscle that does not relax Cramps can affect anymuscle under your voluntary control (skeletal muscle) Muscles that span two joints are most prone tocramping Cramps can involve part or all of a muscle or several muscles in a group
The most commonly affected muscle groups are
Back of lower legcalf (gastrocnemius) Back of thigh (hamstrings) Front of thigh (quadriceps)
Cramps in the feet hands arms abdomen and along the rib cage are also very common
Although the exact cause of muscle cramps is unknown (idiopathic) some researchers believeinadequate stretching and muscle fatigue leads to abnormalities in mechanisms that control muscle
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
contraction Other factors may also be involved including poor conditioning exercising or working inintense heat dehydration and depletion of salt and minerals (electrolytes)
Treatment
Cramps usually go away on their own without seeing a doctor
Stop doing whatever activity triggered the cramp Gently stretch and massage the cramping muscle holding it in stretched position until the cramp
stops Apply heat to tensetight muscles or cold to soretender muscles
Prevention
To avoid future cramps work toward better overall fitness Do regular flexibility exercises before and after you work out to stretch muscle groups most prone to cramping

A cramp is an involuntary and forcibly contracted muscle that does not relax Cramps can affect anymuscle under your voluntary control (skeletal muscle) Muscles that span two joints are most prone tocramping Cramps can involve part or all of a muscle or several muscles in a group
The most commonly affected muscle groups are
Back of lower legcalf (gastrocnemius) Back of thigh (hamstrings) Front of thigh (quadriceps)
Cramps in the feet hands arms abdomen and along the rib cage are also very common
Although the exact cause of muscle cramps is unknown (idiopathic) some researchers believeinadequate stretching and muscle fatigue leads to abnormalities in mechanisms that control muscle

contraction Other factors may also be involved including poor conditioning exercising or working inintense heat dehydration and depletion of salt and minerals (electrolytes)
Treatment
Cramps usually go away on their own without seeing a doctor
Stop doing whatever activity triggered the cramp Gently stretch and massage the cramping muscle holding it in stretched position until the cramp
stops Apply heat to tensetight muscles or cold to soretender muscles
Prevention
To avoid future cramps work toward better overall fitness Do regular flexibility exercises before and after you work out to stretch muscle groups most prone to cramping

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a systemic disease that attacks multiple joints throughout the body About90 of the people with rheumatoid arthritis eventually develop symptoms related to the foot or ankleUsually symptoms appear in the toes and forefeet first then in the hind feet or the back of the feet andfinally in the ankles
The exact cause of RA is unknown but there are several theories Some people may be more likely todevelop RA because of their genes However it usually takes a chemical or environmental trigger toactivate the disease In RA the bodys immune system turns against itself Instead of protecting the jointsthe body produces substances that attack and inflame the joints
Because RA affects your entire system you may also feel feverish tire easily and lose your appetiteYou may develop lumps around your joints particularly by the elbow

FAQS
1 What does ARES TAPE do
ARES TAPE helps and promotes the movement of lymphatic fluid and blood circulation bylifting the skin of affected areaThe following results are reduction of muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM) andbetter quality of muscle contraction and performance
2 How does it work
HOW IT WORKSPhysiological Effects
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
When a muscle is inflamed swollen or stiff the space between the skin and the muscle is
compressed resulting in constriction and congestion to the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood circulationThis compression applies pressure to the pain receptors located in the space between the skin and the
muscle which in turn relays discomfort signals to the brain resulting in the sense of bdquopain‟ of affectedarea
If you stretch the skin of the affected area before the application of the ARES TAPE the taped area willform wrinkles when the applied area is back to its normal or neutral position The wrinkling effect formedby the ARES TAPE is essential since this lifting of the skin creates more space for lymph and blood flowTherefore the lymph drainage as well as blood circulation in the affected area can be improved effectivelythrough taping application
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Eventually the friction between the tissues beneath the skin is decreased due to the promoted movementof lymphatic fluid and blood circulation Pain is reduced because the pressure on the pain receptors islessened The end results are believed to be reduced muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM)and better quality of muscle contraction
3 What do we need for taping technique
Your ARES TAPE and a pair of specialized taping scissors for taping method would be perfect tostartIn some instances you will also need a partner to help you complete the taping process
4 What benefits distinguish ARES TAPE from other tapes
ARES TAPE is made from high quality cotton fabric - same elasticity as human skinwater-resistant and air-permeable - with heat activated unique patterned adhesive-hypo-allergenic latex free and safe for even highly sensitive skin
5 How is the tape applied is it difficult to apply
It is very simple to apply taping techniques
You can simply apply tape patches big enough to cover affected areas
For better results however you can refer to Mini-Guide in every individual package as well as
Video Clips for each area of body at our website How to use
6 What are suggestions for optimum taping result
1 Skin should be free of oil sweat or lotion prior to application
2 After application rub down tape to activate heat-sensitive adhesive
3 Avoid extreme stretching of the tape during application to avoid skin irritation
4 Apply approximately 30~60mins prior to activity or shower to allow adhesive to adhere
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
5 Skin irritation is extremely rare but care should be taken with hypersensitive skin patients
7 What is the difference between colours
No physical or chemical difference between the colors They are identical in specifications and features other than different colorsColor choice is a matter of individual preference
8 Can it be applied during shower or swimming
Yes it can be worn during shower or swimming as Ares tape is water-resistant air-permeableand highly durable in water
9 How long does it last
Tape will stay on for multiple days at a time We recommend that you do not wear it for more
than 5 days though After several days the acrylic adhesive will have become quite strongtherefore it would be too hard to remove the tape after too many days
10 How can I remove paper backing prior to application
To smoothly remove the paper backing hold the tape vertically and place your index finger onthe top edge of the tape Then by pulling back or flexing your index finger towards your body thetape will peel from its backingAny contact with the acrylic adhesive will diminish its adhesiveabilities Try to touch the adhesive as little as possible
11 What conditions is it commonly used for
Ares Tape has over hundreds of recognized applications which include taping for knee injuries(including patella pain and patella tracking) shoulder injuries back injuries carpal tunnelsyndrome shoulder instability low back pain shin splints plantar fasciitis rotator cuff injury andtennis elbow and etc
12 Should I wear it before exercise
If you have a known condition or if you need a little extra stability amp support it‟s always best totape up before exercise as a preventative measure
13 Do I need to round the ends of the tape prior to application
It is not necessary but it is helpful to round the ends of the tape prior to application The roundinghelps prevent the square edges from catching and may increase the length of tape applicationOtherwise you could trim the edges if the edges of the tape have begun to life during the firstfew days
14 Can I apply tape to help with fractures
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Taping is not a good solution for fractures Seek medical attention if the tape does not provideimmediate relief as it may be an indication of something serious like a fracture
15 Do I need to shave before taping application
For a limited number of people body hair may limit adhesion If the degree of body hair limits
adhesion then you may need to shave or clip the area to be treated
16 Can I apply Tape by myself
It‟s very easy and generally only takes a few tries to get comfortable taping yourself Any of thelower extremity applications (knees shins Achilles tendonitis plantar ITBS) can be applied byyourself easily You will need someonepartner to help apply the neck back and shoulder appsTo remove the tape from the skin it is generally much easier to do when you have bathed or the tape is moist It is best to remove from the top down This will be in the direction of the bodyhair and should limit discomfort Lift the tape from the skin applying tension between the skinand the tape then push the skin away from the tape rather than pulling the tape away from theskin
17 How can I effectively remove tape from skin
To remove the tape from the skin it is generally much easier to do when you have bathed or thetape is moist It is best to remove from the top down This will be in the direction of the body hair and should limit discomfort Lift the tape from the skin applying tension between the skin and thetape then push the skin away from the tape rather than pulling the tape away from the skin
18 Can I apply more than one layer of tape
When applying more than one layer of the tape you should first apply the strip which will providethe primary therapeutic effect desired As successive layers of tape are applied their effect on
the sensory receptors may create interference instead of clear specific stimuli The bestoutcomes generally come from a ldquoless is betterrdquo approach Fewer layers of tape and less tensionare better
19 Why do I have to apply tape in a stretched position of muscletissue
For all basic application technique the muscletissue to be treated should be put in a stretchedposition in combination with the stretch capabilities of the Ares Tape will create convolutions asthe skin is lifted Skin convolutions may be present following the basic application or may appear during normal joint motion It is believed that even if convolutions are not present they areoccurring The convolutions aid in the normal flow of blood and lymphatic fluids
20 Why is it better not to stretch tape for most applications
When applying the taping method mainly for pain relief it is desirable to apply the Ares strip withas less tension as possible If too much tension is applied the effects are diminished
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
21 What are the differences of Kinesiology taping method fromconventional athletic tapings
During conventional athletic taping proper application requires using all of the available stretchThe concept is that by taking all of the stretch out of the tape it will limit or assist a motion andprovide for protection from injuryre-injury
22 What should I do if I want to apply for pain area which is notlisted in Application section
Tape can be applied over pain areas to be simple Please follow the basic applications for anyapplications
1 To apply the tape onto pain area the skin and muscle of the affected area has to be fully
stretched before application of tape Do not stretch the tape itself and then leave it on for 3~5days
2 When the length of the tape is measured Cut the tape after stretching the muscleskin to
which you are about to apply the tape3 After taping it is desirable if you see wrinkles (convolutions) of the tape when the body returns
to a normal position In some cases wrinkles (convolutions) are not present

A cramp is an involuntary and forcibly contracted muscle that does not relax Cramps can affect anymuscle under your voluntary control (skeletal muscle) Muscles that span two joints are most prone tocramping Cramps can involve part or all of a muscle or several muscles in a group
The most commonly affected muscle groups are
Back of lower legcalf (gastrocnemius) Back of thigh (hamstrings) Front of thigh (quadriceps)
Cramps in the feet hands arms abdomen and along the rib cage are also very common
Although the exact cause of muscle cramps is unknown (idiopathic) some researchers believeinadequate stretching and muscle fatigue leads to abnormalities in mechanisms that control muscle

contraction Other factors may also be involved including poor conditioning exercising or working inintense heat dehydration and depletion of salt and minerals (electrolytes)
Treatment
Cramps usually go away on their own without seeing a doctor
Stop doing whatever activity triggered the cramp Gently stretch and massage the cramping muscle holding it in stretched position until the cramp
stops Apply heat to tensetight muscles or cold to soretender muscles
Prevention
To avoid future cramps work toward better overall fitness Do regular flexibility exercises before and after you work out to stretch muscle groups most prone to cramping

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a systemic disease that attacks multiple joints throughout the body About90 of the people with rheumatoid arthritis eventually develop symptoms related to the foot or ankleUsually symptoms appear in the toes and forefeet first then in the hind feet or the back of the feet andfinally in the ankles
The exact cause of RA is unknown but there are several theories Some people may be more likely todevelop RA because of their genes However it usually takes a chemical or environmental trigger toactivate the disease In RA the bodys immune system turns against itself Instead of protecting the jointsthe body produces substances that attack and inflame the joints
Because RA affects your entire system you may also feel feverish tire easily and lose your appetiteYou may develop lumps around your joints particularly by the elbow
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Exercise is very important in the treatment of RA Your doctor or physical therapist may recommendstretching as well as functional and range of motion exercises

FAQS
1 What does ARES TAPE do
ARES TAPE helps and promotes the movement of lymphatic fluid and blood circulation bylifting the skin of affected areaThe following results are reduction of muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM) andbetter quality of muscle contraction and performance
2 How does it work
HOW IT WORKSPhysiological Effects
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
When a muscle is inflamed swollen or stiff the space between the skin and the muscle is
compressed resulting in constriction and congestion to the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood circulationThis compression applies pressure to the pain receptors located in the space between the skin and the
muscle which in turn relays discomfort signals to the brain resulting in the sense of bdquopain‟ of affectedarea
If you stretch the skin of the affected area before the application of the ARES TAPE the taped area willform wrinkles when the applied area is back to its normal or neutral position The wrinkling effect formedby the ARES TAPE is essential since this lifting of the skin creates more space for lymph and blood flowTherefore the lymph drainage as well as blood circulation in the affected area can be improved effectivelythrough taping application
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Eventually the friction between the tissues beneath the skin is decreased due to the promoted movementof lymphatic fluid and blood circulation Pain is reduced because the pressure on the pain receptors islessened The end results are believed to be reduced muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM)and better quality of muscle contraction
3 What do we need for taping technique
Your ARES TAPE and a pair of specialized taping scissors for taping method would be perfect tostartIn some instances you will also need a partner to help you complete the taping process
4 What benefits distinguish ARES TAPE from other tapes
ARES TAPE is made from high quality cotton fabric - same elasticity as human skinwater-resistant and air-permeable - with heat activated unique patterned adhesive-hypo-allergenic latex free and safe for even highly sensitive skin
5 How is the tape applied is it difficult to apply
It is very simple to apply taping techniques
You can simply apply tape patches big enough to cover affected areas
For better results however you can refer to Mini-Guide in every individual package as well as
Video Clips for each area of body at our website How to use
6 What are suggestions for optimum taping result
1 Skin should be free of oil sweat or lotion prior to application
2 After application rub down tape to activate heat-sensitive adhesive
3 Avoid extreme stretching of the tape during application to avoid skin irritation
4 Apply approximately 30~60mins prior to activity or shower to allow adhesive to adhere
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
5 Skin irritation is extremely rare but care should be taken with hypersensitive skin patients
7 What is the difference between colours
No physical or chemical difference between the colors They are identical in specifications and features other than different colorsColor choice is a matter of individual preference
8 Can it be applied during shower or swimming
Yes it can be worn during shower or swimming as Ares tape is water-resistant air-permeableand highly durable in water
9 How long does it last
Tape will stay on for multiple days at a time We recommend that you do not wear it for more
than 5 days though After several days the acrylic adhesive will have become quite strongtherefore it would be too hard to remove the tape after too many days
10 How can I remove paper backing prior to application
To smoothly remove the paper backing hold the tape vertically and place your index finger onthe top edge of the tape Then by pulling back or flexing your index finger towards your body thetape will peel from its backingAny contact with the acrylic adhesive will diminish its adhesiveabilities Try to touch the adhesive as little as possible
11 What conditions is it commonly used for
Ares Tape has over hundreds of recognized applications which include taping for knee injuries(including patella pain and patella tracking) shoulder injuries back injuries carpal tunnelsyndrome shoulder instability low back pain shin splints plantar fasciitis rotator cuff injury andtennis elbow and etc
12 Should I wear it before exercise
If you have a known condition or if you need a little extra stability amp support it‟s always best totape up before exercise as a preventative measure
13 Do I need to round the ends of the tape prior to application
It is not necessary but it is helpful to round the ends of the tape prior to application The roundinghelps prevent the square edges from catching and may increase the length of tape applicationOtherwise you could trim the edges if the edges of the tape have begun to life during the firstfew days
14 Can I apply tape to help with fractures
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Taping is not a good solution for fractures Seek medical attention if the tape does not provideimmediate relief as it may be an indication of something serious like a fracture
15 Do I need to shave before taping application
For a limited number of people body hair may limit adhesion If the degree of body hair limits
adhesion then you may need to shave or clip the area to be treated
16 Can I apply Tape by myself
It‟s very easy and generally only takes a few tries to get comfortable taping yourself Any of thelower extremity applications (knees shins Achilles tendonitis plantar ITBS) can be applied byyourself easily You will need someonepartner to help apply the neck back and shoulder appsTo remove the tape from the skin it is generally much easier to do when you have bathed or the tape is moist It is best to remove from the top down This will be in the direction of the bodyhair and should limit discomfort Lift the tape from the skin applying tension between the skinand the tape then push the skin away from the tape rather than pulling the tape away from theskin
17 How can I effectively remove tape from skin
To remove the tape from the skin it is generally much easier to do when you have bathed or thetape is moist It is best to remove from the top down This will be in the direction of the body hair and should limit discomfort Lift the tape from the skin applying tension between the skin and thetape then push the skin away from the tape rather than pulling the tape away from the skin
18 Can I apply more than one layer of tape
When applying more than one layer of the tape you should first apply the strip which will providethe primary therapeutic effect desired As successive layers of tape are applied their effect on
the sensory receptors may create interference instead of clear specific stimuli The bestoutcomes generally come from a ldquoless is betterrdquo approach Fewer layers of tape and less tensionare better
19 Why do I have to apply tape in a stretched position of muscletissue
For all basic application technique the muscletissue to be treated should be put in a stretchedposition in combination with the stretch capabilities of the Ares Tape will create convolutions asthe skin is lifted Skin convolutions may be present following the basic application or may appear during normal joint motion It is believed that even if convolutions are not present they areoccurring The convolutions aid in the normal flow of blood and lymphatic fluids
20 Why is it better not to stretch tape for most applications
When applying the taping method mainly for pain relief it is desirable to apply the Ares strip withas less tension as possible If too much tension is applied the effects are diminished
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
21 What are the differences of Kinesiology taping method fromconventional athletic tapings
During conventional athletic taping proper application requires using all of the available stretchThe concept is that by taking all of the stretch out of the tape it will limit or assist a motion andprovide for protection from injuryre-injury
22 What should I do if I want to apply for pain area which is notlisted in Application section
Tape can be applied over pain areas to be simple Please follow the basic applications for anyapplications
1 To apply the tape onto pain area the skin and muscle of the affected area has to be fully
stretched before application of tape Do not stretch the tape itself and then leave it on for 3~5days
2 When the length of the tape is measured Cut the tape after stretching the muscleskin to
which you are about to apply the tape3 After taping it is desirable if you see wrinkles (convolutions) of the tape when the body returns
to a normal position In some cases wrinkles (convolutions) are not present

FAQS
1 What does ARES TAPE do
ARES TAPE helps and promotes the movement of lymphatic fluid and blood circulation bylifting the skin of affected areaThe following results are reduction of muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM) andbetter quality of muscle contraction and performance
2 How does it work
HOW IT WORKSPhysiological Effects
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
When a muscle is inflamed swollen or stiff the space between the skin and the muscle is
compressed resulting in constriction and congestion to the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood circulationThis compression applies pressure to the pain receptors located in the space between the skin and the
muscle which in turn relays discomfort signals to the brain resulting in the sense of bdquopain‟ of affectedarea
If you stretch the skin of the affected area before the application of the ARES TAPE the taped area willform wrinkles when the applied area is back to its normal or neutral position The wrinkling effect formedby the ARES TAPE is essential since this lifting of the skin creates more space for lymph and blood flowTherefore the lymph drainage as well as blood circulation in the affected area can be improved effectivelythrough taping application
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Eventually the friction between the tissues beneath the skin is decreased due to the promoted movementof lymphatic fluid and blood circulation Pain is reduced because the pressure on the pain receptors islessened The end results are believed to be reduced muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM)and better quality of muscle contraction
3 What do we need for taping technique
Your ARES TAPE and a pair of specialized taping scissors for taping method would be perfect tostartIn some instances you will also need a partner to help you complete the taping process
4 What benefits distinguish ARES TAPE from other tapes

For better results however you can refer to Mini-Guide in every individual package as well as
Video Clips for each area of body at our website How to use
6 What are suggestions for optimum taping result
1 Skin should be free of oil sweat or lotion prior to application
2 After application rub down tape to activate heat-sensitive adhesive
3 Avoid extreme stretching of the tape during application to avoid skin irritation
4 Apply approximately 30~60mins prior to activity or shower to allow adhesive to adhere
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx

13 Do I need to round the ends of the tape prior to application
It is not necessary but it is helpful to round the ends of the tape prior to application The roundinghelps prevent the square edges from catching and may increase the length of tape applicationOtherwise you could trim the edges if the edges of the tape have begun to life during the firstfew days
14 Can I apply tape to help with fractures
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Taping is not a good solution for fractures Seek medical attention if the tape does not provideimmediate relief as it may be an indication of something serious like a fracture
15 Do I need to shave before taping application
For a limited number of people body hair may limit adhesion If the degree of body hair limits
adhesion then you may need to shave or clip the area to be treated
16 Can I apply Tape by myself
It‟s very easy and generally only takes a few tries to get comfortable taping yourself Any of thelower extremity applications (knees shins Achilles tendonitis plantar ITBS) can be applied byyourself easily You will need someonepartner to help apply the neck back and shoulder appsTo remove the tape from the skin it is generally much easier to do when you have bathed or the tape is moist It is best to remove from the top down This will be in the direction of the bodyhair and should limit discomfort Lift the tape from the skin applying tension between the skinand the tape then push the skin away from the tape rather than pulling the tape away from theskin

18 Can I apply more than one layer of tape
When applying more than one layer of the tape you should first apply the strip which will providethe primary therapeutic effect desired As successive layers of tape are applied their effect on
the sensory receptors may create interference instead of clear specific stimuli The bestoutcomes generally come from a ldquoless is betterrdquo approach Fewer layers of tape and less tensionare better
19 Why do I have to apply tape in a stretched position of muscletissue
For all basic application technique the muscletissue to be treated should be put in a stretchedposition in combination with the stretch capabilities of the Ares Tape will create convolutions asthe skin is lifted Skin convolutions may be present following the basic application or may appear during normal joint motion It is believed that even if convolutions are not present they areoccurring The convolutions aid in the normal flow of blood and lymphatic fluids
20 Why is it better not to stretch tape for most applications
When applying the taping method mainly for pain relief it is desirable to apply the Ares strip withas less tension as possible If too much tension is applied the effects are diminished

21 What are the differences of Kinesiology taping method fromconventional athletic tapings
During conventional athletic taping proper application requires using all of the available stretchThe concept is that by taking all of the stretch out of the tape it will limit or assist a motion andprovide for protection from injuryre-injury
22 What should I do if I want to apply for pain area which is notlisted in Application section
Tape can be applied over pain areas to be simple Please follow the basic applications for anyapplications
1 To apply the tape onto pain area the skin and muscle of the affected area has to be fully
stretched before application of tape Do not stretch the tape itself and then leave it on for 3~5days
2 When the length of the tape is measured Cut the tape after stretching the muscleskin to
which you are about to apply the tape3 After taping it is desirable if you see wrinkles (convolutions) of the tape when the body returns
to a normal position In some cases wrinkles (convolutions) are not present

A cramp is an involuntary and forcibly contracted muscle that does not relax Cramps can affect anymuscle under your voluntary control (skeletal muscle) Muscles that span two joints are most prone tocramping Cramps can involve part or all of a muscle or several muscles in a group
The most commonly affected muscle groups are
Back of lower legcalf (gastrocnemius) Back of thigh (hamstrings) Front of thigh (quadriceps)
Cramps in the feet hands arms abdomen and along the rib cage are also very common
Although the exact cause of muscle cramps is unknown (idiopathic) some researchers believeinadequate stretching and muscle fatigue leads to abnormalities in mechanisms that control muscle

contraction Other factors may also be involved including poor conditioning exercising or working inintense heat dehydration and depletion of salt and minerals (electrolytes)
Treatment
Cramps usually go away on their own without seeing a doctor
Stop doing whatever activity triggered the cramp Gently stretch and massage the cramping muscle holding it in stretched position until the cramp
stops Apply heat to tensetight muscles or cold to soretender muscles
Prevention
To avoid future cramps work toward better overall fitness Do regular flexibility exercises before and after you work out to stretch muscle groups most prone to cramping

the sensory receptors may create interference instead of clear specific stimuli The bestoutcomes generally come from a ldquoless is betterrdquo approach Fewer layers of tape and less tensionare better
19 Why do I have to apply tape in a stretched position of muscletissue
For all basic application technique the muscletissue to be treated should be put in a stretchedposition in combination with the stretch capabilities of the Ares Tape will create convolutions asthe skin is lifted Skin convolutions may be present following the basic application or may appear during normal joint motion It is believed that even if convolutions are not present they areoccurring The convolutions aid in the normal flow of blood and lymphatic fluids
20 Why is it better not to stretch tape for most applications
When applying the taping method mainly for pain relief it is desirable to apply the Ares strip withas less tension as possible If too much tension is applied the effects are diminished

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a systemic disease that attacks multiple joints throughout the body About90 of the people with rheumatoid arthritis eventually develop symptoms related to the foot or ankleUsually symptoms appear in the toes and forefeet first then in the hind feet or the back of the feet andfinally in the ankles
The exact cause of RA is unknown but there are several theories Some people may be more likely todevelop RA because of their genes However it usually takes a chemical or environmental trigger toactivate the disease In RA the bodys immune system turns against itself Instead of protecting the jointsthe body produces substances that attack and inflame the joints

Flat foot is a condition where the longitudinal arch or instep of the foot collapses and comes in contactwith the ground In infants and toddlers the longitudinal arch is not developed and flat feet are normal Insome individuals the longitudinal arch never develops
Flat feet may be associated with pronation a leaning inward of the ankle bones toward the center line
Some common symptoms of a flat foot are
A flat look to one or both of your feet
Uneven shoe wear and collapse of your shoe toward the inside of your flat foot
Lower leg pain
Pain on the inside of your ankle
Swelling along the inside of your ankle
Foot pain

FAQS
1 What does ARES TAPE do
ARES TAPE helps and promotes the movement of lymphatic fluid and blood circulation bylifting the skin of affected areaThe following results are reduction of muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM) andbetter quality of muscle contraction and performance
2 How does it work
HOW IT WORKSPhysiological Effects
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
When a muscle is inflamed swollen or stiff the space between the skin and the muscle is
compressed resulting in constriction and congestion to the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood circulationThis compression applies pressure to the pain receptors located in the space between the skin and the
muscle which in turn relays discomfort signals to the brain resulting in the sense of bdquopain‟ of affectedarea
If you stretch the skin of the affected area before the application of the ARES TAPE the taped area willform wrinkles when the applied area is back to its normal or neutral position The wrinkling effect formedby the ARES TAPE is essential since this lifting of the skin creates more space for lymph and blood flowTherefore the lymph drainage as well as blood circulation in the affected area can be improved effectivelythrough taping application
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Eventually the friction between the tissues beneath the skin is decreased due to the promoted movementof lymphatic fluid and blood circulation Pain is reduced because the pressure on the pain receptors islessened The end results are believed to be reduced muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM)and better quality of muscle contraction
3 What do we need for taping technique
Your ARES TAPE and a pair of specialized taping scissors for taping method would be perfect tostartIn some instances you will also need a partner to help you complete the taping process
4 What benefits distinguish ARES TAPE from other tapes

2 How does it work
HOW IT WORKSPhysiological Effects
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
When a muscle is inflamed swollen or stiff the space between the skin and the muscle is
compressed resulting in constriction and congestion to the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood circulationThis compression applies pressure to the pain receptors located in the space between the skin and the
muscle which in turn relays discomfort signals to the brain resulting in the sense of bdquopain‟ of affectedarea
If you stretch the skin of the affected area before the application of the ARES TAPE the taped area willform wrinkles when the applied area is back to its normal or neutral position The wrinkling effect formedby the ARES TAPE is essential since this lifting of the skin creates more space for lymph and blood flowTherefore the lymph drainage as well as blood circulation in the affected area can be improved effectivelythrough taping application

FAQS
1 What does ARES TAPE do
ARES TAPE helps and promotes the movement of lymphatic fluid and blood circulation bylifting the skin of affected areaThe following results are reduction of muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM) andbetter quality of muscle contraction and performance
2 How does it work
HOW IT WORKSPhysiological Effects
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
When a muscle is inflamed swollen or stiff the space between the skin and the muscle is
compressed resulting in constriction and congestion to the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood circulationThis compression applies pressure to the pain receptors located in the space between the skin and the
muscle which in turn relays discomfort signals to the brain resulting in the sense of bdquopain‟ of affectedarea
If you stretch the skin of the affected area before the application of the ARES TAPE the taped area willform wrinkles when the applied area is back to its normal or neutral position The wrinkling effect formedby the ARES TAPE is essential since this lifting of the skin creates more space for lymph and blood flowTherefore the lymph drainage as well as blood circulation in the affected area can be improved effectivelythrough taping application
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Eventually the friction between the tissues beneath the skin is decreased due to the promoted movementof lymphatic fluid and blood circulation Pain is reduced because the pressure on the pain receptors islessened The end results are believed to be reduced muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM)and better quality of muscle contraction

FAQS
1 What does ARES TAPE do
ARES TAPE helps and promotes the movement of lymphatic fluid and blood circulation bylifting the skin of affected areaThe following results are reduction of muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM) andbetter quality of muscle contraction and performance
2 How does it work
HOW IT WORKSPhysiological Effects
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
When a muscle is inflamed swollen or stiff the space between the skin and the muscle is
compressed resulting in constriction and congestion to the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood circulationThis compression applies pressure to the pain receptors located in the space between the skin and the
muscle which in turn relays discomfort signals to the brain resulting in the sense of bdquopain‟ of affectedarea
If you stretch the skin of the affected area before the application of the ARES TAPE the taped area willform wrinkles when the applied area is back to its normal or neutral position The wrinkling effect formedby the ARES TAPE is essential since this lifting of the skin creates more space for lymph and blood flowTherefore the lymph drainage as well as blood circulation in the affected area can be improved effectivelythrough taping application
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Eventually the friction between the tissues beneath the skin is decreased due to the promoted movementof lymphatic fluid and blood circulation Pain is reduced because the pressure on the pain receptors islessened The end results are believed to be reduced muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM)and better quality of muscle contraction

2 How does it work
HOW IT WORKSPhysiological Effects
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
When a muscle is inflamed swollen or stiff the space between the skin and the muscle is
compressed resulting in constriction and congestion to the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood circulationThis compression applies pressure to the pain receptors located in the space between the skin and the
muscle which in turn relays discomfort signals to the brain resulting in the sense of bdquopain‟ of affectedarea
If you stretch the skin of the affected area before the application of the ARES TAPE the taped area willform wrinkles when the applied area is back to its normal or neutral position The wrinkling effect formedby the ARES TAPE is essential since this lifting of the skin creates more space for lymph and blood flowTherefore the lymph drainage as well as blood circulation in the affected area can be improved effectivelythrough taping application

FAQS
1 What does ARES TAPE do
ARES TAPE helps and promotes the movement of lymphatic fluid and blood circulation bylifting the skin of affected areaThe following results are reduction of muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM) andbetter quality of muscle contraction and performance
2 How does it work
HOW IT WORKSPhysiological Effects
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
When a muscle is inflamed swollen or stiff the space between the skin and the muscle is
compressed resulting in constriction and congestion to the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood circulationThis compression applies pressure to the pain receptors located in the space between the skin and the
muscle which in turn relays discomfort signals to the brain resulting in the sense of bdquopain‟ of affectedarea
If you stretch the skin of the affected area before the application of the ARES TAPE the taped area willform wrinkles when the applied area is back to its normal or neutral position The wrinkling effect formedby the ARES TAPE is essential since this lifting of the skin creates more space for lymph and blood flowTherefore the lymph drainage as well as blood circulation in the affected area can be improved effectivelythrough taping application
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Eventually the friction between the tissues beneath the skin is decreased due to the promoted movementof lymphatic fluid and blood circulation Pain is reduced because the pressure on the pain receptors islessened The end results are believed to be reduced muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM)and better quality of muscle contraction

FAQS
1 What does ARES TAPE do
ARES TAPE helps and promotes the movement of lymphatic fluid and blood circulation bylifting the skin of affected areaThe following results are reduction of muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM) andbetter quality of muscle contraction and performance
2 How does it work
HOW IT WORKSPhysiological Effects
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
When a muscle is inflamed swollen or stiff the space between the skin and the muscle is
compressed resulting in constriction and congestion to the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood circulationThis compression applies pressure to the pain receptors located in the space between the skin and the
muscle which in turn relays discomfort signals to the brain resulting in the sense of bdquopain‟ of affectedarea
If you stretch the skin of the affected area before the application of the ARES TAPE the taped area willform wrinkles when the applied area is back to its normal or neutral position The wrinkling effect formedby the ARES TAPE is essential since this lifting of the skin creates more space for lymph and blood flowTherefore the lymph drainage as well as blood circulation in the affected area can be improved effectivelythrough taping application
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Eventually the friction between the tissues beneath the skin is decreased due to the promoted movementof lymphatic fluid and blood circulation Pain is reduced because the pressure on the pain receptors islessened The end results are believed to be reduced muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM)and better quality of muscle contraction

FAQS
1 What does ARES TAPE do
ARES TAPE helps and promotes the movement of lymphatic fluid and blood circulation bylifting the skin of affected areaThe following results are reduction of muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM) andbetter quality of muscle contraction and performance
2 How does it work
HOW IT WORKSPhysiological Effects
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
When a muscle is inflamed swollen or stiff the space between the skin and the muscle is
compressed resulting in constriction and congestion to the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood circulationThis compression applies pressure to the pain receptors located in the space between the skin and the
muscle which in turn relays discomfort signals to the brain resulting in the sense of bdquopain‟ of affectedarea
If you stretch the skin of the affected area before the application of the ARES TAPE the taped area willform wrinkles when the applied area is back to its normal or neutral position The wrinkling effect formedby the ARES TAPE is essential since this lifting of the skin creates more space for lymph and blood flowTherefore the lymph drainage as well as blood circulation in the affected area can be improved effectivelythrough taping application
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx

FAQS
1 What does ARES TAPE do
ARES TAPE helps and promotes the movement of lymphatic fluid and blood circulation bylifting the skin of affected areaThe following results are reduction of muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM) andbetter quality of muscle contraction and performance
2 How does it work
HOW IT WORKSPhysiological Effects
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
When a muscle is inflamed swollen or stiff the space between the skin and the muscle is
compressed resulting in constriction and congestion to the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood circulationThis compression applies pressure to the pain receptors located in the space between the skin and the
muscle which in turn relays discomfort signals to the brain resulting in the sense of bdquopain‟ of affectedarea
If you stretch the skin of the affected area before the application of the ARES TAPE the taped area willform wrinkles when the applied area is back to its normal or neutral position The wrinkling effect formedby the ARES TAPE is essential since this lifting of the skin creates more space for lymph and blood flowTherefore the lymph drainage as well as blood circulation in the affected area can be improved effectivelythrough taping application
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx

FAQS
1 What does ARES TAPE do
ARES TAPE helps and promotes the movement of lymphatic fluid and blood circulation bylifting the skin of affected areaThe following results are reduction of muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM) andbetter quality of muscle contraction and performance
2 How does it work
HOW IT WORKSPhysiological Effects
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
When a muscle is inflamed swollen or stiff the space between the skin and the muscle is
compressed resulting in constriction and congestion to the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood circulationThis compression applies pressure to the pain receptors located in the space between the skin and the
muscle which in turn relays discomfort signals to the brain resulting in the sense of bdquopain‟ of affectedarea
If you stretch the skin of the affected area before the application of the ARES TAPE the taped area willform wrinkles when the applied area is back to its normal or neutral position The wrinkling effect formedby the ARES TAPE is essential since this lifting of the skin creates more space for lymph and blood flowTherefore the lymph drainage as well as blood circulation in the affected area can be improved effectivelythrough taping application
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Eventually the friction between the tissues beneath the skin is decreased due to the promoted movementof lymphatic fluid and blood circulation Pain is reduced because the pressure on the pain receptors islessened The end results are believed to be reduced muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM)and better quality of muscle contraction

1 What does ARES TAPE do
ARES TAPE helps and promotes the movement of lymphatic fluid and blood circulation bylifting the skin of affected areaThe following results are reduction of muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM) andbetter quality of muscle contraction and performance
2 How does it work
HOW IT WORKSPhysiological Effects
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
When a muscle is inflamed swollen or stiff the space between the skin and the muscle is
compressed resulting in constriction and congestion to the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood circulationThis compression applies pressure to the pain receptors located in the space between the skin and the
muscle which in turn relays discomfort signals to the brain resulting in the sense of bdquopain‟ of affectedarea
If you stretch the skin of the affected area before the application of the ARES TAPE the taped area willform wrinkles when the applied area is back to its normal or neutral position The wrinkling effect formedby the ARES TAPE is essential since this lifting of the skin creates more space for lymph and blood flowTherefore the lymph drainage as well as blood circulation in the affected area can be improved effectivelythrough taping application

18 Can I apply more than one layer of tape
When applying more than one layer of the tape you should first apply the strip which will providethe primary therapeutic effect desired As successive layers of tape are applied their effect on
the sensory receptors may create interference instead of clear specific stimuli The bestoutcomes generally come from a ldquoless is betterrdquo approach Fewer layers of tape and less tensionare better
19 Why do I have to apply tape in a stretched position of muscletissue
For all basic application technique the muscletissue to be treated should be put in a stretchedposition in combination with the stretch capabilities of the Ares Tape will create convolutions asthe skin is lifted Skin convolutions may be present following the basic application or may appear during normal joint motion It is believed that even if convolutions are not present they areoccurring The convolutions aid in the normal flow of blood and lymphatic fluids
20 Why is it better not to stretch tape for most applications
When applying the taping method mainly for pain relief it is desirable to apply the Ares strip withas less tension as possible If too much tension is applied the effects are diminished

2 How does it work
HOW IT WORKSPhysiological Effects
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
When a muscle is inflamed swollen or stiff the space between the skin and the muscle is
compressed resulting in constriction and congestion to the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood circulationThis compression applies pressure to the pain receptors located in the space between the skin and the
muscle which in turn relays discomfort signals to the brain resulting in the sense of bdquopain‟ of affectedarea
If you stretch the skin of the affected area before the application of the ARES TAPE the taped area willform wrinkles when the applied area is back to its normal or neutral position The wrinkling effect formedby the ARES TAPE is essential since this lifting of the skin creates more space for lymph and blood flowTherefore the lymph drainage as well as blood circulation in the affected area can be improved effectivelythrough taping application

FAQS
1 What does ARES TAPE do
ARES TAPE helps and promotes the movement of lymphatic fluid and blood circulation bylifting the skin of affected areaThe following results are reduction of muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM) andbetter quality of muscle contraction and performance
2 How does it work
HOW IT WORKSPhysiological Effects
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
When a muscle is inflamed swollen or stiff the space between the skin and the muscle is
compressed resulting in constriction and congestion to the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood circulationThis compression applies pressure to the pain receptors located in the space between the skin and the
muscle which in turn relays discomfort signals to the brain resulting in the sense of bdquopain‟ of affectedarea
If you stretch the skin of the affected area before the application of the ARES TAPE the taped area willform wrinkles when the applied area is back to its normal or neutral position The wrinkling effect formedby the ARES TAPE is essential since this lifting of the skin creates more space for lymph and blood flowTherefore the lymph drainage as well as blood circulation in the affected area can be improved effectivelythrough taping application
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Eventually the friction between the tissues beneath the skin is decreased due to the promoted movementof lymphatic fluid and blood circulation Pain is reduced because the pressure on the pain receptors islessened The end results are believed to be reduced muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM)and better quality of muscle contraction

FAQS
1 What does ARES TAPE do
ARES TAPE helps and promotes the movement of lymphatic fluid and blood circulation bylifting the skin of affected areaThe following results are reduction of muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM) andbetter quality of muscle contraction and performance
2 How does it work
HOW IT WORKSPhysiological Effects
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
When a muscle is inflamed swollen or stiff the space between the skin and the muscle is
compressed resulting in constriction and congestion to the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood circulationThis compression applies pressure to the pain receptors located in the space between the skin and the
muscle which in turn relays discomfort signals to the brain resulting in the sense of bdquopain‟ of affectedarea
If you stretch the skin of the affected area before the application of the ARES TAPE the taped area willform wrinkles when the applied area is back to its normal or neutral position The wrinkling effect formedby the ARES TAPE is essential since this lifting of the skin creates more space for lymph and blood flowTherefore the lymph drainage as well as blood circulation in the affected area can be improved effectivelythrough taping application
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Eventually the friction between the tissues beneath the skin is decreased due to the promoted movementof lymphatic fluid and blood circulation Pain is reduced because the pressure on the pain receptors islessened The end results are believed to be reduced muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM)and better quality of muscle contraction

FAQS
1 What does ARES TAPE do
ARES TAPE helps and promotes the movement of lymphatic fluid and blood circulation bylifting the skin of affected areaThe following results are reduction of muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM) andbetter quality of muscle contraction and performance
2 How does it work
HOW IT WORKSPhysiological Effects
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
When a muscle is inflamed swollen or stiff the space between the skin and the muscle is
compressed resulting in constriction and congestion to the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood circulationThis compression applies pressure to the pain receptors located in the space between the skin and the
muscle which in turn relays discomfort signals to the brain resulting in the sense of bdquopain‟ of affectedarea
If you stretch the skin of the affected area before the application of the ARES TAPE the taped area willform wrinkles when the applied area is back to its normal or neutral position The wrinkling effect formedby the ARES TAPE is essential since this lifting of the skin creates more space for lymph and blood flowTherefore the lymph drainage as well as blood circulation in the affected area can be improved effectivelythrough taping application
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx

FAQS
1 What does ARES TAPE do
ARES TAPE helps and promotes the movement of lymphatic fluid and blood circulation bylifting the skin of affected areaThe following results are reduction of muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM) andbetter quality of muscle contraction and performance
2 How does it work
HOW IT WORKSPhysiological Effects
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
When a muscle is inflamed swollen or stiff the space between the skin and the muscle is
compressed resulting in constriction and congestion to the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood circulationThis compression applies pressure to the pain receptors located in the space between the skin and the
muscle which in turn relays discomfort signals to the brain resulting in the sense of bdquopain‟ of affectedarea
If you stretch the skin of the affected area before the application of the ARES TAPE the taped area willform wrinkles when the applied area is back to its normal or neutral position The wrinkling effect formedby the ARES TAPE is essential since this lifting of the skin creates more space for lymph and blood flowTherefore the lymph drainage as well as blood circulation in the affected area can be improved effectivelythrough taping application
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Eventually the friction between the tissues beneath the skin is decreased due to the promoted movementof lymphatic fluid and blood circulation Pain is reduced because the pressure on the pain receptors islessened The end results are believed to be reduced muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM)and better quality of muscle contraction

FAQS
1 What does ARES TAPE do
ARES TAPE helps and promotes the movement of lymphatic fluid and blood circulation bylifting the skin of affected areaThe following results are reduction of muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM) andbetter quality of muscle contraction and performance
2 How does it work
HOW IT WORKSPhysiological Effects
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
When a muscle is inflamed swollen or stiff the space between the skin and the muscle is
compressed resulting in constriction and congestion to the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood circulationThis compression applies pressure to the pain receptors located in the space between the skin and the
muscle which in turn relays discomfort signals to the brain resulting in the sense of bdquopain‟ of affectedarea
If you stretch the skin of the affected area before the application of the ARES TAPE the taped area willform wrinkles when the applied area is back to its normal or neutral position The wrinkling effect formedby the ARES TAPE is essential since this lifting of the skin creates more space for lymph and blood flowTherefore the lymph drainage as well as blood circulation in the affected area can be improved effectivelythrough taping application
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Eventually the friction between the tissues beneath the skin is decreased due to the promoted movementof lymphatic fluid and blood circulation Pain is reduced because the pressure on the pain receptors islessened The end results are believed to be reduced muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM)and better quality of muscle contraction

FAQS
1 What does ARES TAPE do
ARES TAPE helps and promotes the movement of lymphatic fluid and blood circulation bylifting the skin of affected areaThe following results are reduction of muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM) andbetter quality of muscle contraction and performance
2 How does it work
HOW IT WORKSPhysiological Effects
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
When a muscle is inflamed swollen or stiff the space between the skin and the muscle is
compressed resulting in constriction and congestion to the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood circulationThis compression applies pressure to the pain receptors located in the space between the skin and the
muscle which in turn relays discomfort signals to the brain resulting in the sense of bdquopain‟ of affectedarea
If you stretch the skin of the affected area before the application of the ARES TAPE the taped area willform wrinkles when the applied area is back to its normal or neutral position The wrinkling effect formedby the ARES TAPE is essential since this lifting of the skin creates more space for lymph and blood flowTherefore the lymph drainage as well as blood circulation in the affected area can be improved effectivelythrough taping application
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx

FAQS
1 What does ARES TAPE do
ARES TAPE helps and promotes the movement of lymphatic fluid and blood circulation bylifting the skin of affected areaThe following results are reduction of muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM) andbetter quality of muscle contraction and performance
2 How does it work
HOW IT WORKSPhysiological Effects
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
When a muscle is inflamed swollen or stiff the space between the skin and the muscle is
compressed resulting in constriction and congestion to the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood circulationThis compression applies pressure to the pain receptors located in the space between the skin and the
muscle which in turn relays discomfort signals to the brain resulting in the sense of bdquopain‟ of affectedarea
If you stretch the skin of the affected area before the application of the ARES TAPE the taped area willform wrinkles when the applied area is back to its normal or neutral position The wrinkling effect formedby the ARES TAPE is essential since this lifting of the skin creates more space for lymph and blood flowTherefore the lymph drainage as well as blood circulation in the affected area can be improved effectivelythrough taping application
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Eventually the friction between the tissues beneath the skin is decreased due to the promoted movementof lymphatic fluid and blood circulation Pain is reduced because the pressure on the pain receptors islessened The end results are believed to be reduced muscle fatigue increase in range of motion (ROM)and better quality of muscle contraction
3 What do we need for taping technique
Your ARES TAPE and a pair of specialized taping scissors for taping method would be perfect tostartIn some instances you will also need a partner to help you complete the taping process
4 What benefits distinguish ARES TAPE from other tapes

For better results however you can refer to Mini-Guide in every individual package as well as
Video Clips for each area of body at our website How to use
6 What are suggestions for optimum taping result
1 Skin should be free of oil sweat or lotion prior to application
2 After application rub down tape to activate heat-sensitive adhesive
3 Avoid extreme stretching of the tape during application to avoid skin irritation
4 Apply approximately 30~60mins prior to activity or shower to allow adhesive to adhere
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
5 Skin irritation is extremely rare but care should be taken with hypersensitive skin patients
7 What is the difference between colours
No physical or chemical difference between the colors They are identical in specifications and features other than different colorsColor choice is a matter of individual preference
8 Can it be applied during shower or swimming
Yes it can be worn during shower or swimming as Ares tape is water-resistant air-permeableand highly durable in water

than 5 days though After several days the acrylic adhesive will have become quite strongtherefore it would be too hard to remove the tape after too many days
10 How can I remove paper backing prior to application
To smoothly remove the paper backing hold the tape vertically and place your index finger onthe top edge of the tape Then by pulling back or flexing your index finger towards your body thetape will peel from its backingAny contact with the acrylic adhesive will diminish its adhesiveabilities Try to touch the adhesive as little as possible
11 What conditions is it commonly used for
Ares Tape has over hundreds of recognized applications which include taping for knee injuries(including patella pain and patella tracking) shoulder injuries back injuries carpal tunnelsyndrome shoulder instability low back pain shin splints plantar fasciitis rotator cuff injury andtennis elbow and etc

If you have a known condition or if you need a little extra stability amp support it‟s always best totape up before exercise as a preventative measure
13 Do I need to round the ends of the tape prior to application
It is not necessary but it is helpful to round the ends of the tape prior to application The roundinghelps prevent the square edges from catching and may increase the length of tape applicationOtherwise you could trim the edges if the edges of the tape have begun to life during the firstfew days
14 Can I apply tape to help with fractures
7272019 123011619 Kinesiotaping Techniques Application Book Docx
Taping is not a good solution for fractures Seek medical attention if the tape does not provideimmediate relief as it may be an indication of something serious like a fracture

18 Can I apply more than one layer of tape
When applying more than one layer of the tape you should first apply the strip which will providethe primary therapeutic effect desired As successive layers of tape are applied their effect on
the sensory receptors may create interference instead of clear specific stimuli The bestoutcomes generally come from a ldquoless is betterrdquo approach Fewer layers of tape and less tensionare better
