    You might see our elderly Asian elephant, Methai sporting a new look in the yard! She's been fitted with KT tape by Dr. Marziani, one of our consulting veterinarians who specializes in physical therapy, chiropractic, and other non-invasive therapeutics in animals. 1/2pic.twitter.com/J2nOX5Wc1w

        KT tape is an elastic sports tape designed to relieve pain while supporting muscles, tendons, & ligaments. At 51, she is starting to show signs of arthritis & stiffness. Our animal care professionals work hard to ensure every animal at the Zoo receives the best care possible! 2/2

        You’ve been scammed, I’m afraid. KT tape does nothing for humans. It certainly does nothing for elephants.

        KT tape has not been show to be more effective than placebo in humans so what you think you are doing with animals is unclear. It is essentially just a fashion accessory.

        Even if KT tape worked, that is probably not enough for an elephant. Physical Therpay is probably going to be the thing that helps her most.

        KT tape can be used to target specific muscles and joints in ways that support or relax the muscles and help them function more effectively and heal faster if they were strained! I have joint/muscle issues and it helps a lot!
