Orem, UT – Nov. 30, 2010— Don’t let months of hard work be wasted due to common training injuries, muscle soreness, or joint instability—the KT Tape Team is coming to town!  This weekend, KT Tape will offer free Kinesiology Therapeutic Taping demonstrations and samples for competitors at the Rock ‘n’ Roll Las Vegas Marathon and Half Marathon Zappos.com Health & Fitness Expo. The KT Tape Team will answer questions, demonstrate taping methods, and introduce this revolution in pain relief and performance enhancement to the runners of Las Vegas.
