A Patient Comments...
 "I just wanted to let you know that thanks to your recent treatments, I was able to race in my first Napa Valley Marathon this past Sunday. Not only did I finish, but I qualified for the Boston Marathon!

Thank you for successfully diagnosing and treating my calf and foot problems which has allowed me to run virtually pain-free. If any new injuries come up, I will not hesitate to call your office."

The tape is made with hypoallergenic acrylic glue and is made to mimic the weight, elasticity and thickness of the skin, so that it feels "natural" when applied.  It can support muscles and joints structurally, preventing harmful ranges of motion or supporting proper postures.  It can improve lymphatic and microcirculatory flows and also stimulate the skins own endogenous analgesic system, a lessening of the feeling of pain.
