Kinesiotape at the SuperBowl

So today was the Superbowl, and though the game was extremely exciting there were several shots of Philadelphia Steeler Hines Ward and his injury laden body covered with kinesiotape. I saw this shot during pre-game and took a picture of it. There was also another time where it was visible on his arm too. This is very exciting to me as I use kinesiotape on a good 90%-100% of my patients. During the Beijing Olympics is probably the most media attention that this technique has received, especially on a global scale/ level, however I have been using it for several years since the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Greece where I first saw it applied to the Japanese gymnasts. Although the application of kinesiotape is not solely performed by chiropractors it is exciting to see it used never-the-less on a platform like this.
