There is a new treatment available for the aches and pains of daily living. It was developed in 1973 and has just recently come to this country from Japan. It is called Kinesio Taping. This is a technique that offers relief from pain while it aids the natural healing powers of the human body to work. It has the resounding endorsement of Lance Armstrong and the U.S. Postal Bicycle Team as well as professional sports teams like the New York Jets and the Seattle Mariners.

So how does it work? By using a special tape that is applied in a way that offers correction and support to the injured tissues that cause pain. The correction increases blood flow, takes the strain off the injured muscle tissues, the injured ligaments and nerves, and allows those tissues to heal at the same time that it dramatically decreases the pain that you feel. Kinesio Taping works on headaches, neck problems, shoulder injuries, back and hip pain, knee and other lower leg injuries, nearly one hundred different named conditions. It works so well that top-flight professional athletes count on Kinesio Taping to help them heal from the injuries that they get from the intense sports that they do for a living.
