Very Colorful Olympicans bodies- Mystery Revealed

Olympians who have some chiropractic problems are now able to tape themselves with colorful tapes around their bodies. Is there anything better than pain relief without the rub-a-lotion that really smells funny or using the Tensor that just only support your body parts and takes a while to wrap around the body.
What is the product about:
KINESIO TEX® TAPE is a very thin (about the same thickness as skin), porous cotton fabric with a medical grade acrylic adhesive. A special method of adhesive application and porous nature of the fabric allows the skin to breathe and showering cleans part of the skin under the TAPE. The TAPE is designed for a 30 to 40% longitudinal only stretch and when applied lifts the skin and provides support for surrounding soft tissue. - description from KINESIO TEX
