Kinesiology Tape use?

I understand that there is very little evidence confirming or denying it's purpose but there are things where I could see it working, such as Osgood-Slatter disease and from what I've seen it is excellent for vascular supply and bruising etc. I've also heard how it helps people with arm pump, in particular motorbike racers. It would be the build up of lactic acid causing the muscle to remain contracted. Because it stops the body resuming normal activity it helps to ease it. I'm still a bit sceptical as placebo effect plays a huge part but I'm remaining open to it because there is nothing to disprove it.

It would be interesting to hear how it has helped people who have used it as I know a lot of athletes use it.
 
Placebo effect is even more effective on animals - i.e. they fed Cocaine in water to mice once and the mice went crazy. They did the same with just water and the mice went crazy again for example.
Kinesiology tape works very effectively on animals apparently.
