May 4, 2010
Kinesiotape has been around since 1973. It was developed by a chiropractor, Dr. Kenzo Kase. Kinesiotape is unique because it is much less rigid than traditional athletic tape. It is breathable and can be left directly on the skin for several days. Depending on how the tape is utilitzed and applied, it can have several different benefits. Kinesiotape can inhibit or facilitate muscles. It can support joints. It can be used to decrease swelling and bruising. The uses for kinesiotape are numerous. It can benefit everything from headaches to plantar fascitis to shoulder impingement to herniated discs. Although kinesiotape is pretty easy to buy over the counter, it is important to utilize a practitioner who has specific training in the Kinesiotape method. Dr. Lovett is in the process of becoming a Certified Kinsiotape Practitioner.
