Athletic Tape Info Center

Whether you’re a professional athlete or weekend warrior, injuries are extremely common, and they usually stem from overused and overstressed muscles. But if you are performing at the professional level, it’s often not possible to take time off even after a surgery. That’s why they have to get creative with their healing routines. One such creative tact is by using a therapeutic tape such as Kinesio tape.

Perhaps the most famous example of this tape being used on a widely televised scale was by US volleyball superstar Kerri Walsh. She had her shoulder taped after a rotator cuff surgery during the Beijing Olympics. The conspicuous use of the tape incited many people to question and learn about this particular kind of tape. Other major athletes to use the tape include Tour de France dominator Lance Armstrong as well as tennis star Serena Williams.
