Kinesio Tex Tape

If you saw some of the important matches, in most of the sports during the Olympics, you were probably wondering what was on the players shoulder or other body parts. Answer? Kinesio Tex Tape. This special tape applies compression to the skin, offering relief from pain, correcting muscle and joint function, and improving circulation. Whether it’s an old sports injury flaring up or a sore ankle from chasing around your kid, Kinesio can help.

Have you seen Michael Phelps winning in the Beijing olympic games? No one can argue it, he can dominate in almost any style of swim and possesses one of the best dolphin kicks in the world. The Lunocet weighs about 2.5lbs out of the water, but in the water it’s positively buoyant. Constructed from silicon wrapped in carbon fiber with a titanium footplate, the system gives you the same power on a downstroke as an upstroke.
