If you have watched 2008 Beijing Olympics beach volley games, you probably have noticed one of the US female players, Kerri Wash's right shoulder. She was having something looks like a body art or tattoo on her right shoulder. The color changes from game to game, from black to light blue with pink occasionally. So, was she covering up a tattoo?如果你看過2008年北京奧運會沙灘排球比賽，你可能已經注意到美國的一個女隊員，克麗沃洗的右肩。她擁有的東西看起來像一個人體藝術或紋身在她的右肩。顏色更改遊戲遊戲，從黑到淡藍色與粉紅色偶然。因此，是她涵蓋了紋身？ Or that black tape is a tribute to someone?黑人或磁帶的人表示敬意？
No, it is not a tattoo. Kerri was not covering anything up either. It is Kinesio Tape which was reportedly placed there to help her stabilize her right shoulder and reduce chances of having shoulder pain during the games. She underwent shoulder surgery in fall 2007 due to injury caused by long hours of setting and spiking volley ball.不，這不是一個紋身。克麗沃沒有開發任何東西，無論是。是肌內磁帶，據報放在那裡幫助她穩定她的右肩的機會，減少因肩部疼痛在奧運會期間。接受肩部手術，她在2007年秋季因受傷造成長時間的設置和排球扣球。
Kinesio Tape is actually not a new invention . For years, the tape and taping methods were mainly used by sports medicine doctors, physical therapists and chiropractors. It was first developed 25 years ago by Dr. Kenzo Kase, a Japanese chiropractor who trained in the US. In layman term, chiropractor is doctor who specializes in treating diseases by adjusting a person's joints, especially those in the back. Dr. Kenzo has also came out with the taping method called Kinesio Taping which is the way to apply the tapes correctly. 肌內磁帶 ， 其實並不是一個新發明 。多年來，磁帶和錄像的方法主要是利用運動醫學醫生，物理治療師和脊醫。這是首次開發25年前由加瀨賢博士，日本醫培訓了誰美國。在外行人來說，脊誰是醫生在治療疾病的專門通過調整人的關節，特別是那些在後面。賢博士也推出了這盤錄像帶的方法稱為肌內效貼布的是如何用正確的磁帶。
Benefits of Kinesio Tape (As Claimed by the Company) 優點肌內膠帶（所聲稱的公司）
According to the manufacturer, Kinesio Tape provides the following benefits:據製造商，肌內磁帶具有以下優點：
- Corrects muscle function by strengthening weakened muscles更正加強肌肉功能減弱肌肉
- Improves circulation of blood and lymph by eliminating tissue fluid or bleeding beneath the skin by moving the muscle促進血液循環的血液和淋巴組織液消除或皮下出血通過移動肌肉
- Reduce pain and inflammation through neurological suppression減輕疼痛和炎症，通過抑制神經
- Stabilize joints穩定關節
- Relax overused tired muscles過度疲憊的肌肉放鬆
The company also mentioned that Kinesio Tape is effective in relieving:該公司還提到，肌內磁帶是有效的緩解：
- Arthritis關節炎
- Carpel tunnel (median nerve is compressed at the wrist, leading to pain and muscle weakness in the forearm and hand)腕管（正中神經被壓縮在手腕，導致疼痛和肌肉無力的前臂和手部）
- Plantar fasciitis (painful foot condition caused by inflammation of the tissue along the bottom of foot that connects heel bone to toes)足底筋膜炎（痛腳的條件所造成的炎症組織底部足跟骨連接到腳趾）
- Shoulder pain肩部疼痛
Whether those claims are true or not, I will elaborate later.這些說法是否屬實與否，我會在稍後詳述。
How Kinesio Tape Works (As Claimed by the Company) 如何肌內磁帶廠（所聲稱的公司）
According to the company, when taped over the edges of a particular muscle, tendon, or ligament, “the tape alleviates pain and facilitates lymphatic drainage by microscopically lifting the skin.據該公司稱，在錄音時邊特定肌肉，肌腱或韌帶，“磁帶減輕疼痛和促進淋巴引流的微觀解除皮膚。 The taped portion forms convolutions in the skin, thus increasing interstitial space.該錄像的形式曲折，部分在皮膚，從而增加了質的空間。 The result is that pressure and irritation are taken off the neural and sensory receptors, alleviating pain.其結果是，壓力和採取刺激神經和關閉感受器，減輕疼痛。 Pressure is gradually taken off the lymphatic system, allowing it to channel more freely.”壓力逐漸關閉淋巴系統，使其能更加自由的渠道。“
To me, those words sound so complicated for medically uneducated folks, including me.對我來說，這句話聽起來很複雜，醫生沒有受過教育的人來說，包括我在內。
Few Other Important Facts About Kinesio Tape and Kinesio Taping: 很少有其他重要信息關於肌內帶和肌內效貼布：
- The super thin tape itself is an elastic tape that comes in different widths, colors and types.超級薄帶本身就是一個彈性的磁帶來在不同寬度，顏色和類型。
- It is cut into different shapes and applied to slightly stretched skin from one end of the muscle to the other.它切割成不同形狀，適用於輕微的皮膚延伸，從一端到其他肌肉。 The effective of Kinesio Tape highly depends on the placement and technique.肌內的有效高度依賴於磁帶安置和技術。 So, do not expect you will see the result if you just simply stuck the tape to your muscles因此，不要指望你會看到結果如果你只是簡單地堅持磁帶，以你的肌肉
- It is non-restrictive taping method as compared to heavy strapping. This taping technique allows free range of motion and therefore allow the body's own muscular system to heal itself bio-mechanically. From the theoretical stand point, this point makes sense. When your sore muscles are supported, you will heal faster.這是非限制性膠帶方法相比，重型打包。這種錄像技術可以自由運動範圍，因此，讓人體自身的肌肉系統的自愈功能的生物機械。 從理論的角度上講，這一點是有意義的。當你的疼痛肌肉的支持，你會癒合得更快。
- This elastic tape has an elasticity of 130 to 140 percent of its original length so that the muscles still can have free range of motion.這鬆緊帶具有彈性的130至140百分之原來的長度，使肌肉仍然可以自由運動範圍。
- The tape can stay on the skin for 3 to 5 days before it needs to be replaced. In other words, you can having shower or dipping into swimming pool with it. The tape is made of a porous cotton fabric that allows the kin under the tape to breathe and be cleaned while showering.磁帶可以留在皮膚上3至5天，才需要更換。換句話說，你可以有淋浴或浸泡到游泳池它。錄像帶是由一種多孔棉織物的允許下，親屬帶呼吸和洗澡時清洗。
- The variety of colors actually designed for fashion purpose and not any indication of the quality of the tape.多種顏色的設計的時裝，其實目的，沒有任何跡象顯示質量的磁帶。
- The tape does not contain latex which can be used for people with latex allergies.錄像帶沒有包含乳膠，可用於乳膠過敏的人。
In addition to beach volley ball player Kerri Wash, other top athletes such as Lance Armstrong (cycling), Serena Williams (tennis), David Beckham (soccer),除了沙灘排球選手克麗沃洗，其他優秀運動員，如蘭斯阿姆斯特朗（自行車），小威廉姆斯（網球），貝克漢姆（足球）， Tiger Woods 老虎伍茲 (golf) and Robby Ginepri (tennis) were seen using Kinesio Tape. （高爾夫）和吉內普里（網球）被視為使用肌內磁帶。 In fact, in Lance Armstrong's book “事實上，在阿姆斯特朗的書“ Every Second Counts 分秒必爭 ”, he refers to Kinesio as “Something better than any laser, wrap, or electric massager. “他指的是肌內為”一個更好的任何激光，包裝，或電動按摩器。
Robby Ginepri吉內普里
David Beckham大衛貝克漢姆
Serena William塞雷納威廉
Now, is Kinesio Tape really that effective as claimed by the company? Is it just another gimmick to sell Kinesio as a legitimate therapeutic product?現在，是肌內磁帶真的那麼有效，該公司聲稱，是否只是一個噱頭出售肌內作為一個合法的治療產品？
I have found two studies, both published in year 2008. The first study, done by Dr Mark Thelen mentioned that Kinesio Tape does help to alleviate pain and improving muscle strength, though the improvement is at minimal level. Patients with shoulder injuries have experienced the effect immediately after the application of the tape. However, the other research conducted by Dr Tieh-Cheng Fu, revealed that the tape had no effect on muscle strength when it is applied to the thigh.我發現這兩項研究都刊登在2008年。第一項研究，做了一年半前議員馬克提到，肌內磁帶還有助於減輕疼痛和改善肌肉力量，雖然得到改善，在最低水平。患者肩部受傷經歷了立即生效後，申請的磁帶。然而，其他研究進行博士朱鐵成富透露，該磁帶並沒有影響肌力當它應用到大腿。 Source來源
In short, one study showed that Kinesio tape has small effect whereas the other does not think so. While studies like those are good, but we should not over interprete the result. We need more quality research being done on Kinesio tape to give a solid conclusion about its effectiveness. At this time, research using Kinesio tape does not support the many claims made by its advocates.總之， 一項研究表明 ， 肌內磁帶有小的影響 ， 而其他不這麼認為。儘管這樣的研究是好的，但我們不應該對口語翻譯結果。我們需要更多高質量的研究，做了肌內磁帶給了堅實的最後的實效。此時，研究使用肌內磁帶不支持的許多要求作出的倡導者。
So, should you or shouldn't you use Kinesio tape then?所以，你應該或不應該使用肌內磁帶呢？
We all are very susceptible to placebo effect , including top athletes. If we think this tape work, we will believe that it actually does. Sometimes, performance is improved significantly with this belief. This is the placebo effect, even though in real life the tape may not provide any scientific advantages. 我們大家都非常容易受到安慰劑效應 ，包括優秀運動員。如果我們認為這盤磁帶的工作，我們會認為它實際上沒有。有時候，性能明顯提升，這個信念。這是安慰劑效應，即使在現實生活中磁帶不得提供任何科學的優勢。
By sponsoring Kerri Walsh's Kinesio tapes in Beijing Summer Olympics 2008, the Kinesio company has started to see the result. The company has more than 1,600 online orders compared to the usual 250 orders it usually receives monthly. It is indeed a very good strategy. Previously, athletics made up only 10 percent of its business. Its largest market was pediatrics used for children suffering from neurological disorders. Now, it has successfully maximized an untapped market for its tape by targeting athletes. Clearly a good case study of贊助克麗沃爾什的肌內磁帶在2008年北京夏季奧運會的肌內公司已開始看到結果。該公司擁有超過1600在線訂單比通常的250訂單通常的月薪。這是一個非常好的策略。此前，田徑僅佔百分之十的業務。其最大的市場是小兒科用於兒童患有神經性疾病。現在，它已經成功地最大化一個未開發的市場，為其磁帶運動員的目標。顯然，一個很好的例子研究 Blue Ocean strategy 藍色海洋戰略 . 。
I guess I will see more beach volley players spotting the black spider web look alike Kinesio tape in near future. If you want to give Kinesio Tape a try,我想我會看到更多的沙灘排球選手驗出黑色的蜘蛛網長得肌內磁帶在不久的將來。如果你想給肌內磁帶嘗試， check it out at Amazon 檢查它在亞馬遜 . 。

Hi there,餵那裡，
I have been using Kinesio Tape for the last 5+ years and have found it to be exceptionally good for certain types of injuries.我一直在使用肌內帶過去5年以上，並認為這是非常良好的某些類型的傷害。 For the purposes of full disclosure I should point out that I believe in the product so much that I became an instructor and now teach the techniques to other health professionals in Australia and New Zealand.為目的的全面披露我要指出，我相信在產品這麼多，我成了老師，現在的技術傳授給其他衛生專業人員在澳大利亞和新西蘭。
I totally agree that there has not been much comprehensive research into how and why Kinesio Taping works – but it would not be the first technique/procedure where the fact that it works was discovered long before the reasons why.我完全同意，有沒有很多的綜合性研究到如何和為什麼肌內效貼布工程-但它不會成為第一個技術/程序，而事實上，它的作品很久以前發現的原因。
The lack of empirical evidence should not be seen as a threat to it's validity, but an opportunity to explore further why Kinesio Tape seems to get the results that it does.缺乏經驗證據，不應被視為威脅到它的有效性，而是一個機會，進一步探討為什麼肌內磁帶似乎獲得滿意的結果，它。
What may be worthwhile considering is that practitioners (like myself) who get results are usually too busy to go do the research.什麼可以值得考慮的是，執業（像我）誰得到的結果往往無暇去做些研究。
Universities on the other hand wait for a considerable time for new techniques to consolidate with the public before spending their energy on researching them.大學另一方面等待相當長的時間對新技術，以鞏固與市民才動用自己的精力研究它們。
I use Kinesio Tape regularly in my physiotherapy clinics and have been able to get people going again where other techniques have failed.我使用肌內磁帶經常在我的理療診所，已經能夠讓人們再次去當其他方法都失敗了。
When I first trained in the technique I was also quite skeptical.當我第一次接受了這項技術，我也很懷疑。
Walking away from the course I thought to myself at the very least I had revised my anatomy knowledge!步行距離當然，我心想，至少我已經修正我解剖學的知識！ But I decided to give the tape a go and on the very first client I tried it on it seemed to have amazing results, much more than what I would have considered placebo.但我決定放棄磁帶一去的第一客戶我嘗試了它似乎驚人的結果，更比我會考慮安慰劑。 I was consulting a woman who was unable to walk more than 5m or so (house bound) and was unable to do a straight leg raise against gravity.我是一個女人誰諮詢無法步行超過5米左右（房屋方向），無法做直腿提出反對的嚴重性。 I thought to myself “here's a test to see if this thing works!” so I stuck the tape on the appropriate muscles and without any other treatment she was immediately able to lift her leg against gravity.我心想：“這是一個測試，看看這件事的作品！”，所以我堅持的磁帶在適當的肌肉，沒有任何其他治療，她立即能夠解除對她的腿嚴重。 Her immediate question was if the tape had a steroid or some such drug in it and I had to convince her that it was just tape and adhesive.她直接的問題是如果磁帶有類固醇之類的藥物也和我說服她，這只是磁帶和粘合劑。 Suffice to say I have had similar amazing results since.我只想說，我也有類似的結果，因為驚人。
I have also used it on other health professionals (including my colleagues) who understand their anatomy and can recognise all too well if something is merely placebo or if it is actually doing something for them.我還用它在其他衛生專業人員（包括我的同事）誰了解他們的解剖，可以非常清楚地認識到，如果僅僅是安慰劑的東西，或者它實際上是為他們做事。
It is worth noting that whilst it has come to prominence recently in the sporting arena, it is in the more mundane (from a media point of view) chronic and lymphatic conditions that it has been the bread and butter of Kinesio Taping practitioners for many years.值得注意的是，雖然它已經到了突出最近在體育領域，它是在較平凡（從媒體的角度來看），慢性淋巴條件，它一直是麵包，黃油的肌內效貼布從業多年。 When you see swelling reduce or bruising disappearing within a day, you know that's it's not a placebo effect.當你看到腫脹減少或瘀傷在一天內消失，你知道這是不是心理作用。
Cheers,乾杯，
Thuy翠
