Kinesio(R) named Official Training Tape of USRowing

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. and PRINCETON, N.J., April 20, 2016 -- USRowing is excited to announce Kinesio® Holding Corporation (KHC) as the newest addition to its sponsor community. The Kinesio Taping® Method, developed by Dr. Kenzo Kase, is designed to facilitate the body's natural healing process while allowing support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting the body's range of motion.

Kinesio® tape will be made available to USRowing Training Center athletes as they prepare for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.

"Kinesio® tape has been helping USRowing athletes since the 2005 World Rowing Championships in Gifu, Japan," said USRowing Team Physician Marc Nowak. "It is a staple of treatment for the management of acute to chronic musculoskeletal injuries and no rowing athletic training bag is complete without it."

"Kinesio® tape is a rare product that consistently lives up to its claims and is limitless in its applications and uses.  It will be a valued partner to the USRowing Medical Team in keeping our athletes performing at their best as we approach and participate in the 2016 Olympic Games."

"Kinesio is proud to support the members of the USRowing National Team to help them prepare for Olympic competition", said Jeff Baskett, PR Development Manager for Kinesio.  "Rowing uses every large muscle group in the body and the benefits from the Kinesio Taping® Method will help keep these muscles in homeostasis by supporting muscle movement while maintaining full range of motion."
