talkpoliticsCrazy tape on Olympians: does it work?
Athletes and physical trainers swear by the stretchy tape, but the evidence is fuzzy.
THE GIST
* Elastic therapeutic tape made a highly visible appearance on athletes in all sorts of Olympic sports.
* Athletes and physical therapists say the tape reduces inflammation and pain, and improves performance.
* The evidence is still fuzzy on if or how the tape works, leaving open the possibility of a powerful placebo effect.
Has anyone tried it? Is the placebo being nice to you? ;)

Date: 10/8/12 12:52 (UTC)My favorite part is that you have to be licensed to be able to put the tape on correctly. Cause it seriously looks like some starving artist went to work on some of these athletes.
I don't know if i believe in it. But, I'm a lazy fuck, so what do i know.
