Kinesio Tape was developed in the 1970's by a Japanese Chiropractor who was looking for ways to improve the function of injured muscles. Although it has been in existence for decades it gained the interest of the masses when it was worn by high-profile Olympic Athletes in recent Olympics. It looks like nothing else. People began to wonder what the colorful tape that athletes were wearing in all sorts of weird looking patterns actually was. As it turns out, it is a uniquely effective way to relieve the pain and improve the function of injured joints and muscles.
Kinesio Tape is used to stabilize injured tendons or ligaments, to aid in the reduction of inflammation, swelling and bruising, to normalize performance of an injured muscle or joint prior to an athletic event, or to increase or reduce muscle tension. Dr. Burkholder is a certified Kinesio Tape Practitioner. He most commonly uses Kinesio Tape to calm overactive muscles or stimulate under-active muscles. Kinesio Tape, when applied by a trained professional can instantly relieve upper back pain and tension, and headaches; can help to enhance the benefits of chiropractic treatments, and can give temporary, but immediate relief from rotator cuff and other muscle strain.
You may be asking yourself, "Can tape really do all that?" It can and it does. It is a truly amazing product!
