One thing that is common in summer Olympics among athletes of different countries is Kinesio tape. The only difference is some have been wear pink colored tape and some wear blue colored tape.

Main aim of the tape, which athletes have been sporting at different body parts, is to support muscles and joints and that too without disturbing the blood flow of the body. It is not a novel technique and has been in use since 1979, and is the brain child of Kenzo Kase.

Experts have compared the use of the tape and have reached at a conclusion that the tape was used in Beijing Olympics, but not to the extent of London Olympics 2012. Though people known to the matter are aware of the tape, they are not amazed onlookers.

This is the reason that people in amazement have been asking questions about the tape. Whether it is Twitter or general forum, people are eager to know about the tape, which participants have been sporting.

As said that the tape is not a new invention and is used as a form of manual therapy. It helps a person to reduce pain and swelling and helps him playing his game.
