New Uses for Athletic Taping

Case Study Full Name: New Uses for Athletic Taping - PTs and ATCs Add Kinesiology Tape to Their Tool Kits By: Greg Thompson   Abstracts: After a decade of teaching and treating, Martin and Huber have seen the anecdotal evidence pile up regarding the therapeutic effectiveness of kinesiology taping. However, both acknowledged that in today's evidence-based environment, more research is needed to fully validate its beneficial impact. They welcome formal studies and are confident that kinesiology taping will perform well. "I have been working with patients who have Lou Gehrig's disease on issues such as head control and respiratory problems," said Huber. "Topics are limitless at this point, and as we learn more I am confident the applications will only expand."

Vetkin Veterinary Tape 4" X 16' Uncut Roll

$25.49 $27.99

Unlike many other tapes who simply increase the amount of adhesive or package it differently, the creators of Vetkin worked cooperatively with veterinary institutes, olympic teams, ISELP, and the Equine and Canine Institutes to develop a tape specifically for veterinary applications. While it uses the same high quality cotton material base as CureTape, it undergoes a specialized drying process when combined with the adhesive to create a tape that has 35% stronger adhesion, but is easier to remove from the coat than traditional CureTape. This version is a 4 inch (10cm) wide and 16.4 foot long roll which means you get 100% more tape per roll than a traditional 2 inch (5cm) wide roll for approximately 12 applications per roll.
