The athletic trainer at my son's game flipped my whole view on tape

I used to think kinesiology tape was mostly a placebo thing, like a mental crutch for athletes. But last month at a track meet in Eugene, I watched this trainer put a strip on a sprinter's hamstring and the kid went from limping to running a 48.9 in under ten minutes. She explained how the tape lifts the skin just enough to change how the nerves fire, not some magic support. Now I'm actually looking into taking a taping course myself, has anyone else had a similar moment where a pro changed your mind?

Take that course, you'll see tape works on your own skin real fast.
