Nice to see that "snake oil" salesmen are still alive and kicking! Thanks for posting this; I did wonder.

To be honest, it does work. I've used some of the stuff when weightlifting to try and work through DOMS/mild tendon strains and it works wonders compared to the standard tape and wraps. I doubt its the placebo effect either as I thought someone was pulling my leg when they first told me to start using it.
It does work. I dont know the science behind why but it does.

Fair enough; you can only say it how you see it. How is it different to standard tapes and wraps?

Its not as restrictive as other tapes. I found with normal tape it was restrictive and my DOMS ended up more or less the same after a workout when in reality when you work through the final stages of DOMS your body should get used to it. Also its applied by stretching the skin properly. I first heard of it in volleyball where its frequently used then my mate told me over the bodybuilding forums to try it for weightlifting if I get recurrent DOMS.

It could also be useful for fat middle-aged woman to cover up their tattoos!

Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS)
Thanks.
Do you think this tread should be a sticky?
