KT Tape, Original Cotton, Elastic Kinesiology Athletic Tape, 20 Count, 10” Precut Strips

I guess you could blame genetics, but I just never had great knees. At 34, and for no specific reason, my left knee gave out over the course of a week. I could put no weight on it, and my doctor was stumped as to what it could be from. I went to one specialist, but after I received the bill, that was the end of that (love America’s medical system). My only guess is too much squatting for IKEA furniture assembly in a new apartment. I lived with daily pain for about two years, and was very seriously debating knee surgery when I discovered KT tape. For me, and I have to stress this is only my particular experience, but the moment I put it on I knew that there was a major shift in the way my knee felt. Right away I gained almost my original mobility back and the pain was drastically reduced. Over the course of about nine months (tape on for about 5 days, off for about 3) my knee is 90% better! At this point I don’t experience pain as often as a sort of “weird” sensation when I sit for long periods. But the best part is, I’m down to only wearing the tape once a month. If you debating whether or not to try this product, just looking at the cheap price! What’s the worst that could happen, you’re out 20 bucks? There’s no chance of it hurting you, just a chance it won’t do anything.

I have tried several brands of kinesiology tape and this brand has always worked best for me. It allows for the perfect amount of tension and it does not peel off. It comes in a great assortment of colors. I have used it on myself and for my daughter who was born with torticolis. After a few months of PT and using KT Tape, her condition was corrected. I trust this brand.

Tried several brands - This was by far superior - Adhesive holds for days - Comfortable to wear - Not an athlete - Just a little old lady with muscle pain - Follow instructions for removal

Works really well for my knee pain

I originally ordered this tape to put under my sports bra band as I was getting some major chafing. It worked like a charm and I now use it on every run to prevent chafing. As my mileage has increased while training for a marathon, my feet have really started to hurt towards the end of the runs and throughout the days following. While researching some remedies, I saw a suggestion to use KT tape. I was skeptical but after running a 16 miler was willing to give it a go. Taped up the feet and was astonished at how much better they felt!! I’ve done various types of stretches, soaked them in warm water with epsom salt, tried compression socks. None of that has come close to the relief I got from the tape. KT tape is now one of my must haves for running!

I saw a demonstration on YouTube for how to use this product for golfers elbow. I have been sidelined from golf for over a year and have a few years in the tendon so PT has been unsuccessful. I tried these and did well at the range and then played 18 holes successfully. I’m reconsidering having the surgery as I may be able to play with the help of this product. If you have golfers elbow, go onto YouTube and see how it is applied. It is easier if someone can help you but I’ve managed to put it on myself. I believe if I tried this product a year ago I would have been able to play a lot more golf.

My daughter uses this almost every day for her shin splints. We tried others, this is our fav

Just what I needed

Used it to stave off my knee pain long enough to run a 5K. It did the trick and then some.

When it comes to this stuff, the only thing better than regular KT Tape is KT Tape PRO! This product is wonderful. I have been using this tape on my entire family. From my daughters sprained ankle in basketball, to my hubbys golf shoulder, elbow, and thumb tendonitis and arthritis issues, to my own sad state of chronic knee condition, worn out shoulders (pre and post surgical to help me rehab), and in general on whichever body part is deciding to either fail or not cooperate on any given day for any number of activities, I would highly recommend this product. I also advocate using the prep cleaner and adhesive, and PRO versions if you tend to be a oilier skined or person or if your activities will cause you to get wet or sweat much, as this, along with how well you cleaned and dried your skin before using has a direct impact on how well it adhears and/or how long it stays that way. Also, if the area you are taping has you having to put clothing on and off frequently, (like knees endure when using the restroom, for example) this can sometimes cause ends to get pulled up (another reason why I recommend the prep and adhesive spray as well). Aside from how expensive it can be if you are needing to continue using for for your desired activities, I have found KT tape to be a godsend in it allows me to continue doing the activities and sports I love despite my own genetics determination to fall apart. The products ability to stretch with my skin prevents much of the discomfort that traditional athletic taping causes, and the adhesive is quite gentile on my skin (which is known to react poorly to nearly all adhesives from Band-Aids to paper tape), while still providing the nessesary support needed to stay active. In addition, it is available in a variety of fun colors or skin tones so you can go as bold or subtle as you wish. The online video tutorials are well made and easy to follow to assist you in getting just the right amount support for your area of need. I highly recomend to all and have bought this product many times and will continue to do so until science can fix my battered body. Till then I thank God I found the great product!
