Kinesio Tape and Olympic Athletes

What is the bright tape taking over athletes?

Kinesio tape is the newest treatment for sport injuries designed to replicate manual therapies to reduce pain and soreness while participating in their activities. The tape was developed in Japan by a chiropractor thirty years ago, now it can be found all over the world being used on some of the worlds most elite athletes. Athletes from multiple countries in the world are using this tape to aid them in performing at their highest ability. 

The tape is designed to open the space between the epidermis and dermis in the joint to enable blood flow releasing any excess heat that can cause pain in that area. With the excess heat loss and increased blood and lymphatic fluids the joint is able to move with reduced pain. The direction and tension the kinesio tape is applied causes different types of therapy, from relaxation to stimulation of the muscle. This amazing tape does not limit the range of motion so athletes and active workers are not hindered. 

Olympic athletes are not the only individuals that kinesio tape helps, anyone who is looking for a natural way to aid their own bodies natural healing process would benefit. Many active workers or people constantly on the go have found relief with kinesio tape. Conditions treated can range from sprains and strains, back pain, neck pain, as well as rotator cuff injuries and knee pain. In order for the kinesio tape to have the appropriate effects on the wearer, the applier must be trained.  Dr. Rising is trained in these techniques and would love to talk to you if you believe kinesio tape could help you!
