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

This is not the genuine KT tape. I have been buying KT tape from places like Jewel etc, and it has been my go-to for knee pain, as well as any other injuries that may pop up. The store-bought KT tape is amazing, it is very comfortable, the fabric feels nice and soft, and provides the needed support. Store-bought tape would last me forever, as the adhesive is strong enough, but also gentle on the skin. Ordered this stuff, and even out of the box, it did not look the same. Muted color, less stretch, and fabric felt plastic. Upon application, the edges would begin peeling off immediately. I have gone to sleep with tape, and woken up with no tape. It does not last 1-3 days as advertised. The store-bought tape would last me well past the 3 days and I would only remove it to let my skin breathe, and not because it fell off. Don’t waste your money here. This is not the genuine product. It does the job but for the same price you could actually have a working product that would stay on the entire 3 days or longer (yes, the original tape, not even the Pro).

I have had back pain for years… it would make me cry because I was limited in doing activities I loved because of it. I went to PT and they put this stuff on my sciatica because my hip pain was becoming too bad. Well wow that’s al I can say….. for some reason it seems to just take away all the pain. So because I have a small twisted spine between three and four vertebrae, I decided to put it down my spine, not on the muscle. And it is literally taking away all my back pain when I take it off it all comes back after a few days lol so I have to keep putting it back lol but wow this stuff is just amazing

Works great for shoulder

I use it to prod text tattoo from the sun. Works well

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

I had gone to a joint doctor and he offered cortisone shots and shoulder joint replacement to relieve my pain. Since Im in a wheelchair that would be a last resort. So when I needed Home Physical Therapy for my legs I mentioned my shoulder pain. This was my 6th therapist and I was fortunate that she had training with KT tape. We tried it and it has been the greatest advice I have received. I heartily recommend it for you. She instructed me on effective application and this brand has good online videos. Dont buy a cheap brand. They last 1-2 days. I can wear this for up to 2 weeks before it comes off. You wont believe how quickly it relieves pain!

I dont know if it is placebo or what, but I dont care because it helps immensely. I went from only being able to do 45 minute run with pain in my hips, back and knees at TWENTY FOUR years old...to being able to do hour and half runs with the tape on my knees (sometimes hip or back) and the aching goes away almost entirely. I compared one time with putting tape on one knee and not the other, there was literally more color in the leg with tape (hence more blood flow) which showed that something was moving in there. Also at the end of the run my left knee without the tape was aching while the right knee, wasnt. At the end of the run, it would feel weird because my body was so used to the pain in those joints, that there was this feeling that it would come back any second. It was analogous to the feeling of having hiccups and you hold your breath for a minute and they dont come back, but that minute of waiting for the next hiccup to come feels like it is going to happen...but then it doesnt. It was like that at first. Anyways, the product is awesome and I am ordering more and recommending more to others. I am trying to become a PA (not PT) and so hearing the science on it makes total sense, knowing what I know about the body. Highly recommend yall! Its also preventative health for your joints by putting less wear and tear on them as well as allowing more blood flow to go into the knee area, this helps with healing. No doubt.

It helps well to support my knees and recover from the overuse injury.

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.

Just what I needed
