Have you seen athletes wearing tape in the Olympics?

The use of Kinesio Taping techniques have been widely used since the mid 90's as a valuable treatment technique for muscuoloskeletal pain in the United States. Thanks to Dr. Kenzo Kase, the founder of the Kinesio Taping Method, Kinesio taping is the treatment of choice on the playing field or in the workplace.

The Kinesio Taping Method is used for lymphathic drainage, pain relief, improving range of motion, decrease inflammation, support during physical activities, and aid in rehabilitation. Unlike other types of modalities it is easy to recognize the vast benefits of Kinesio Taping to our patients. Kinesio Taping at a treatment level allows our clinicians to provide relief 24 hours a day for 3-4 days per application. With Kinesio Taping, as many of the leaders in the field of Kinesio Taping state there is no such thing as "off" treatment time. The Kinesio Tape works continuously until the tape is removed. The Kinesio Taping Method reduces costs, timely, and effective.

Today, like in sports, the Olympics have been a grand stage to show the effectiveness of Kinesio Taping as many of our Olympic athletes are using Kinesio Taping to reduce pain and help improve function during competition.

With the vast benefits observed we are now offering Kinesio Taping as adjunct option of care to all of our patients and employees we serve for wellness and rehabilitation. Please see our site therapist or clinical therapist about this valuable option to help reduce your discomfort.

So the next time you see others around you with tape on their skin, remember, Kinesio Tape.
