The popularity and use of kinesiology tape (k-tape) has increased dramatically over the last seven years. Despite the fact that it was invented in the 1970’s by Dr. Kenzo Kase, k-tape rose to prominence following the Beijing Olympics in 2008. K-tape is increasingly being used by athletes at all levels, ranging from Olympians to weekend warriors. While k-tape’s popularity continues to grow, there is still significant debate about k-tape’s clinical efficacy.
