About Kinesio Taping - Concept & Effects

Taping Method involves taping over and around muscles in order to assist and give support or to prevent over-contraction. The first technique gives the practitioner the opportunity to give support while still maintaining full range of motion. This enables the individual to participate in his/her normal physical activities with functional assistance. The second technique, which is most commonly used in the acute stage of rehabilitation, helps prevent overuse or over-contraction and helps provide facilitation of lymph flow for an entire 24 hour period. Correctional techniques include mechanical, lymphatic, ligament/tendon, fascia, space and functional.

Kinesio Taping affects the activation of the neurological system and the circulatory system. Muscles are not only attributed to the movements of the body, they also control the circulation of venous and lymph flows, body temperature, etc. Therefore, the failure of the muscles to function properly induces various kinds of symptoms. Consequently, more attention was given to the importance of muscle function in order to activate the body's own healing process. Using an elastic tape, such as Kinesio Tape, it was discovered that muscles and other tissues could be helped by outside assistance. Kinesio Taping is an innovative approach to treating nerves, muscles and organs.

BROOKS PROJECT NATHAN 

http://brcipoh.blogspot.com/

The idea to form Brooks Running Club came from our President, Alvine Nathan who was our former national marathon runner. The main objective of the Club is the Brooksbrand which is already in every runner's mind. 


Why? Because it is not just the name Brooks Running Club but there is a project called Nathan Project which was started by the President. He has been a coach for many years, training a group of runners wearing only Brooks shoes and without getting serious injuries. 


The President has been running marathons for more than 23 years and is still among top 10 in the country. 


This Nathan Project has proved that Brooks shoes helped them to continue running and running. We have now more than two hundred (200) active members in the club and the wonderful thing is that all the members wear 100% Brooksshoes. 


Nathan Project is one of the great successes of the Club and the Brooks company as well.


I am glad to be a part of BROOKS PROJECT NATHAN As i would like to do Something for the Running Community in Singapore.
