Albuquerque, New Mexico, Sept. 27, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On Tuesday September 26, 2017, the University of New Mexico School of Medicine Department of Neurosurgery and Kinesio began their Educational Collaborative Agreement involving the UNM’s new Center for Kinesio Taping Methods within the UNM Pain Center. For Dr Kase, this is his dream come true…
In 1979, Dr. Kase’s whole purpose of inventing Kinesio Taping Method and his tool, Kinesio Tape, was to extend his chiropractic services to his patients. This would go beyond his practice to do what he has always been passionate about … to help anyone with muscle, ligament, and joint discomfort in a non-pharmaceutical manner, avoiding the use of opioids or other narcotics. It is no wonder that Dr. Kase’s Kinesio Taping Method revolutionized the Elastic Therapeutic Taping global industry. Kinesio Tape was invented out of a deep passion to help and be of service to others.
Since developing the Kinesio Taping Method, thousands of independent case studies have been performed by practitioners all over the world. Since moving to New Mexico in the 1980s, Dr Kase dreamt of a collaboration with hospitals; what better place to build this relationship with than the University of New Mexico. Now, to bear witness to everything coming into fruition it is, according to a much fulfilled Dr Kase, “The perfect timing.” This collaboration will take Kinesio Taping Method and Kinesio Tape to the next level.
Most importantly for Dr. Kase, it will take individual pain management to the next level in helping patients suffering from the discomforts of diabetes, edema, fibrosis, arthritis, among others, as well as ailments associated with sports.
