Images of athletes covered in colored tape are continuing to draw attention since the London Olympics. Coated over shoulders, knees, abs and quads, the material is called Kinesio tape. It was invented by the Japanese chiropractor and acupuncturist Dr. Kenzo Kase and has been used in sport medicine over 10 years. The elastic tape moves with the body while reducing pain and supporting muscles. According to the Kinesio taping website the tape “microscopically lifts skin and channels away moisture.”
