Very large agencies and state police/patrols use this model. No matter how much experience or education you have someplace else, you can't be an officer for the NYPD, LAPD, Chicago PD, or most any state patrol unless you complete their academy. With in house academies, the trainee is on the payroll from the first day.
The tape was invented by Japanese chiropractor Kenzo Kase in the 1970s. The U.K. web site for Kinesio tape claims it can alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, relax muscles, enhance performance, and help with rehabilitation as well as supporting muscles during a sporting event.
Muscles are the âengineâ that your body uses to propel itself. They turn energy into motion and are incredibly sophisticated. When muscles are stressed, they block oxygen and nutrients, leading to inflammation and chronic muscle pain. Toxins build up in the fatigued muscle tissue. A deep tissue massage loosens muscle tissue, releases toxins from muscles, circulates blood and oxygen properly, releases deeply-held patterns of tension while relaxing and soothing the muscle. It is both corrective and therapeutic.
