On the road to recovery

On the road to recovery

About two weeks ago I ran into my downstairs partier neighbor. The first thing I noticed about him, was the colorful patches on one of his knees. It turns out that it was KT tape,
an elastic sports and fitness tape designed for muscle, ligament and tendon pain relief and support.

WHAT IS KINESIOLOGY TAPE?
Whether you’re training for your first marathon, getting ready for your next game, reaching a personal fitness goal, or just trying to get through the day, you already know that nothing slows you down faster than pain and injury. KT TAPE is lightweight, comfortable to wear, and can be used for hundreds of common injuries such as lower back pain, knee pain, shin splints, carpal tunnel syndrome, and tennis elbow, just to name a few.
KT TAPE not only looks good, but it also provides 24 hour relief per application for days at a time through sweat, strain and humidity, and can even be worn in water thanks to our specially designed adhesive.

I immediately asked him where I could get it and he recommended me to go to his  Physiotherapist to get checked and for her to apply the tape. Not only did Gemma understand the gloomy and painful year and a half I’ve spent trying to recover at no avail, but she also helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel once again.

“I want pink, orange, blue, bright purple and the colors you have, just apply them all over the place,” I told her. What I didn’t know is that the color of the tape indicates the intensity of the injury, every day is a new learning experience and I thought I was real close to knowing almost ‘everything’ about health and fitness!

Anyhow, it’s only been a day and I can feel a substantial difference. I can just picture myself jogging, running, sprinting and surging all over the place on the road to marathon land once again! I have to build strength and endurance and regain discipline and self-control! I find it a lot more challenging now but as long as I am physically well, I am confident that I will prevail with my fitness allies!

I can't upload the pictures I took today!!!
