I’ve been very athletic throughout my life. I was in the track team of my school both in grade school up to college. I was fortunate enough to graduate from college without any major injuries. After college, around my mid 20’s, I noticed I get easily injured. I injured my back and wrist doing power lifting. I had knee problems during my rowing days and I tore both hamstrings and injured my knees in triathlon. I’ve always considered myself an athlete and when I get injured and have to take some time off, I feel more sickly and fat. That’s why I’m so grateful to a friend who introduced me to Kinesio tape.

Kinesio taping made me recover faster from my injury. At times I can even train while injured (just with mild injuries though). It also minimizes the pain and keeps the injured muscle from taking all the load of your action. It can also correct joint misalignments. Kinesio tape is light years away from the traditional tapes that give support but limits full range of motion.
