regardless of chronic injuries.”
-Nemer Hassey, Cienega High School, AZ
“As an alternative to McConnell (taping), Kinesio Taping has impressive results not only for the serious athlete, but also for the weekend warrior. Of course, everyone knows its great for knees, but what surprised me were the great results for the shoulder.”
-Michael Call, MS, ATC, SCS
“Kinesio Taping is very versatile, and the tape supports the injury while maintaining full range of
motion and comfort. The fact that you use less tape than traditional methods and that you don‘t
have to re-apply the tape (as frequently) makes this tape a great choice for treating chronic
injuries.”
-Jerri Hestwood, ATC
“We have been using Kinesio for 3 years now…The Kinesio Taping books have been extremely

field.”
-David Price, Head Athletic T rainer (New York Jets)
“I just wanted to write and tell you how pleased I am with the results we are receiving from

that the results will continue to be positive.”
-Rick Griffin, Head Athletic T rainer (Seattle Mariners)
What Medical Professionals are saying about Kinesio
-George Stribling, DC, CCSP, CKTI
“Kinesio Taping provides a most unique means for therapeutic taping musculoskeletal complaints and post traumatic injuries. It provides support, relieves stress and most importantly enhances recovery in both Primary Care and Orthopedic practice.”
-Frank Turner, MD
“I started with the books and some tape, less than a week later I could not believe with the results. The #1 thing to understand is that this is NOT taping. This is a great treatment adjunct”
-Bob Allen, DC, CCSP
“There is a true analgesic effect associated with Kinesio Tape. I call it the “Mother’s Hand” effect. Kinesio Taping extends the efficacy out of treatment, and releases tension for relief of spasms.”
-John Hanks, DC, DABCO, CCSP, CKTI
“It’s easy to learn, takes a few minutes to do, uses only a few strips and consistently produces superior clinical outcomes”
-Jeffrey Spencer, DC, MA, CCSP, CKTP (Team Chiropractor for the Discovery Channel Pro Cycling T eam)
“I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know what was happening in my practice since taking the Kinesio Taping seminar. Chronic carpal tunnel of two years duration and a confirmed EMG study for muscle/nerve damage was corrected with 4 applications of Kinesio tape over two weeks. Separated A/C joint and sprain of the SC joint was given noticeable relief and had my hockey player back on the ice in two applications. It is incredible how quickly this stuff works. That was always my frustration with athletes with acute injuries was what to do while we waited for sprains to heal. Thanks for your insight and training on this technique, it has changed my practice.”
-Dr Paul D Friesen, BSc, DC
“I just wanted to drop you a note of thanks for the support you gave me in my recent trip to the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. In treating athletes from speed skating through wrestling and weightlifting, the USA athletes were very receptive of Kinesio Taping. As word filtered through the OTC of the “magic black tape”, I had the opportunity to tape shin splints, rib injuries, shoulder subluxation, low back and neck sprain/strains as well as everything in between. Having now experienced using KT on the best of the best, I am once again thankful that I have learned to use KT as a big part of my ongoing treatment regimen.”
-David Parish DC, DACBSP, CSCS, NSCA-CPT, CKTI
“Kinesio Taping is the perfect adjunct to soft tissue therapies like active release and Graston Technique. In a rehab setting it makes perfect sense at increasing proprioceptive awareness.”
-Dr. Christopher Mah, DC, CNN
What Physical Therapists (PTs) are saying about Kinesio
-T rish Martin, PT, CKTI
“I had a 58 year old female musician patient who fell hiking and sustained an acromio-clavicular third degree separation of the right shoulder. Three weeks after taping her, the patient was able to play in a concert. Thanks to Kinesio Taping.”
-Beate Carriere, PT, CIFK
“Kinesio Taping helps with postural retraining and dynamic stability. It assists my patients for several days following their treatment.”
-Bruce A. Franke Jr, PT, MTC
“I love to use Kinesio Taping by itself or in combination with other manual therapies such as myofascial release. Using only Kinesio Taping for a patient with chronic De Quervains, the patient reported the pain and discomfort felt for years was gone within 2 days! On a 24 hour/day basis Kinesio Taping releases just the right amount of tension on the tissues providing incredible relief. Kinesio Taping really works.”
-Nora Jreige, PT

-Manny Carrillo, offensive tackle for Cienega Varsity Football, AZ
“I really cannot believe the improvement and pain relief I've received from my physical therapist applying the Kinesio tape. I have cut way back on pain meds as a result. I couldn't use my left arm due to the severe pain in my shoulder, and now I have greater movement. Thank goodness for my wonderful therapist and being on top of what's available for her patients as an alternative and in conjunction with the medical profession in general.”
-Lana Chapman, AZ
“I have had back pain for about 6 months. I started going to physical therapy, and they told me about Kinesio Tex Tape. I was skeptical at first, wondering how in the world can pieces of tape help my pain…but it did!! After a full day activity, I was fully expecting my back to be in pain like usual, but it didn't! For the first time in 6 months my back did not hurt. I had forgotten what no pain felt like! I was completely amazed and have been telling everyone about this product!! I am also amazed at how well it sticks. Even after showering, it stays in place. I am completely amazed and grateful!”
-Amanda Monk, TX
“You may tell your colleagues, based on an anecdotal 6 weeks study; the Kinesio Tape seems to relieve 30% of the numbness in my arm from carpal tunnel syndrome which I’ve had for the past 20 years.”
-Anu Oinas, Washington, DC
