Treating A Muscle Tear

Here's more proof that Kinesio tapes if used correctly helps with a muscle tear. Have a look at my patient's hamstring injury from the pictures below.

This is the picture he sent me before he came to see me in the clinic.

Check out the muscle tear

After treating his back as well as his hamstring, I put some of the original Kinesio Tex tapes and here's another picture 3 days later.

How's that for improvement 3 days later

Well, I rest my case, for those of you with muscle tears, make sure the person treating you is using the original Kinesio Tex tapes, because the copy cat/ imitation tapes simply cannot compete.

Treatment For Hamstring Tear

Nasty looking muscle tear on 080113

Have a look at my patient's injured hamstrings when he came to see me 2 days ago on Tuesday (8/1/13).

After assessing him, I first treated his back (if you're wondering why, read this), and treated his hamstring with some dry needling as seen below.

Of course I also used Kinesio tape on his hamstrings and showed him what he had to before sending him home. Well here's how his leg looked today, just 2 days later (100113).

Amazing or what? You be the judge.
