NUHS: A historic center for Kinesio Taping

August 25, 2008 — Ever since members of the U.S. Women's Olympic Volleyball team caught the world's attention with colored tape adorning their skin, people have been buzzing about Kinesio Taping.

Kinesio Taping, which was developed by National University of Health Sciences (NUHS) alumni Dr. Kenzo Kase, is a cutting-edge sports medicine technique. Additionally, two NUHS faculty, Vincent De Bono, DC, vice president for Academic Services, and David Parish, DC, dean of clinics, are internationally known educators in this method and are certified Kinesio Taping instructors by Kinesio USA, LLC.

Since its development nearly 25 years ago, Kinesio Taping has become the standard for therapeutic taping not only in the U.S., but also in

The method and tape allow the individual to wear and receive therapeutic benefits on a 24-hour basis and can be worn for several days per application. The KT method involves taping over and around muscles in order to assist and give muscle support, or to prevent over-contraction of the muscles.

The university's current curriculum includes hands-on application of Kinesio Taping during several courses and during students' clinical internship. Currently, practicing physicians who want to learn Kinesio Taping can do so through weekend continuing education programs at NUHS.
