At the annual conference of the Professional Baseball Athletic Trainers Society late last week in Glendale, Ariz., KT Tape’s brand marketing manager, Jacki Cassady, was working a convention booth when she was approached by a doctor with some questions on how the company’s kinesiology tape might help a very specific abrasion in a very particular area of the hand near the thumb.
Cassady does not recall the doctor’s name, nor did the mystery doctor reveal that of his patient, except to say he worked with trainers of a few NFL teams, including the New England Patriots.
