The Olympics & Kinesio Tape
By Dr. Marion Constantinides - 8/24/2012
As you watched the Olympics, you may have found yourself asking “What are those brightly colored lines on the athletes’ bodies?”
The answer is Kinesio Tape, which was developed by a Japanese chiropractor in 1979 to reduce pain and enhance performance on the area applied. It is now used worldwide by physicians for pain management, physical therapy, and every day exercise activities.
When properly placed along injured muscles, the tape reduces pain and inflammation, relaxes overused or tired muscles, and supports muscles in movement on a 24-hour-a-day basis. Its gentle tug also promotes circulation and facilitates the body’s natural healing process.
The super sticky tape is designed to last up to 6 days, and its water-resistant fabric allows patients to bathe or even swim as usual.
Using the Kinesio Tape and the Kinesio Taping Method, I have successfully treated patients with a range of issues, such as:
• Plantar fasciitis
• Shin splints
• Knee problems
• Ankle sprains
• Lower back pain
• Headaches
• And more
