Kinesio Tape: Amazing Healer

So you have that injury that is keeping you from being active and you have done everything you can think of, physical therapy, chiropractor, and medicine. Well, I have something that i would highly recommend that can replace all of that and is a lot cheaper. You might have heard about it while watching the Olympics this year, most volleyball players and track and field athletes use it. What I am talking about is Kinesio Tex Tape it is an elastic tape so it moves with a body’s flexibility, it’s water proof and only needs to be reapplied every 4-5 days. The old remedy and belief was to tape an injury tight to the body, well in the 1970’s in Japan Dr. Kenzo Kase developed another amazing taping method.

Dr. Kenzo Kase developed a method that allowed you to tape a muscle loosely to the body allowing for better circulation around the muscle and better fluid movement in the body. It also helps keep your muscles in the correct position so they don’t tighten up. I heard about it on the Olympics and tried it right after and had extreme success with it. I use it for every hockey game and my back never hurts. I used to not even be able to sleep through the night with my back and now i sleep like a baby every night, pain free. One night i decided to not use it and wound up waking in pain again like the old times.

Then one of my best friends on my hockey team was having back problems and missing games so i decided to let him use some of my tape and he played the next game without any problems. It is an amazing product and is strongly recommended for any athlete with an injury. Make sure it is applied correctly also, go to kinesiotaping.com then kt application and it gives you step by step instructions on how to apply it on all areas of the body.
