Leukotape® K
Proprioceptors
Capillaries
(Arteries, veins)
Lymph vessels
Proprioceptors
Nociceptors
(free nerve ending)
Capillaries and lymph vessels become
blocked and the microcirculation
is impaired

Capillary and interstitial fluid increases
and the removal of waste products
is disrupted

The sensitivity of dermal receptors
is affected

The sensitive feedback mechanism is
misguided or interrupted

The result is discomfort and dysfunction,
often of unclear origin, which may be
resistant to normal therapies
The lumen of the capillaries and lymph
vessels increases; this combined with the
pumping effect due to movement
results in reduction of swelling

Metabolism is activated,
waste products are eliminated,
supply of nutriments is enhanced

Relief of pressure on the nociceptors;
together with the Proprioceptors so they can
return to their normal physiological state

Sense of movement, proprioception
and coordination return to normal

Permanent activation of skin and vessels
for prophylaxis and management of discomfort
