Kinesio Taping in Dallas
Kinesio at the Olympics
Since donating Kinesio® Tex tape to over a quarter of the national teams participating in the 2008 Games in Beijing, Kinesio® has enjoyed a meteoric rise in popularity as some of the world’s foremost athletes embraced the revolutionary muscle therapy in front of an audience of billions. Accompanied by the catchphrase “tattoo or tape,” Kinesio® Taping has subsequently been featured on local and national TV stations such as NBC and MSNBC, as well as an ever growing list of international media and print publications which includes Sports Illustrated, Men’s Health, Popular Science and Runner’s World.
Congratulations to Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor for winning their second consecutive gold medal in women’s beach volleyball for the first time in the sport’s history.

Kerri Walsh and her partner, Misty May, were once again the queens of the sand. They were a force to be reckoned with at the Games in Beijing, and walked away with their second consecutive gold medal. Walsh first made an Olympic appearance in Sydney, but for the indoor volleyball team, which finished fourth. Four years later she found her match with May, and the duo has been nearly perfect ever since.
