KT Tape, Pro Synthetic Kinesiology Athletic Tape, 20 Count, 10” Precut Strips

I tried the KT Tape a while back for minor issues and really couldnt tell the difference. I threw my back out a month ago, babied it, forgot I had the KT Tape. Back got better very slowly, then finally was all better...until I tried to drag a 50 pound mat. Oops. Back went out and I was back to square one, which meant I could barely walk and sitting and laying down werent too comfy either. I remembered the KT Tape this time, put it on the wrong way, and it still made an instant difference in the pain. I didnt expect it to work as I was walking out of the bathroom right after applying it! Im still using a heating pad and a little ice, but hoping I dont have a 4 week recovery period again, and that I can sit at my desk and work. Thank you KT Tape!

I got this as an upgrade to the cotton tape, and found it just doesn’t stick as well. When applying it creates gaps and won’t connect to my skin, and it only lasts 1-2 days vs cotton lasting 3-4. Definitely won’t but again. Does the trick, just not with the longevity of the cotton tape.

This tape is not like the one given at Physical therapy. Its not that sticky and falls off when it gets wet.

So I bought a bunch of this stuff after I had people recommend it to me. I seen that doctors sometimes used it, so I got some. I was told I had plantar fasciitis for 2 years until an MRI said that instead both the bones at my foot joint were dead. When I thought it was PF, I was doing the wraps they said to do with KT tape and the only positive I got from it was the fact it helped to hold my foot into place. I guess that might be all it’s suppose to do or maybe the fact I didn’t have PF was the reason it never provided me with much help or relief. It’s hard to say. A girl at work sweared by the stuff. I’m giving it 4 stars only because I can’t really say that it was terrible since I was using it for something I never had, but even with my dead bones, it did hold everything in place more than compression socks and it was much less hassle free in comparison to fully wrapping my foot. This stuff is expensive though. My only advice… Don’t stock up on it like I did without knowing if it’s going to be great or not. LOL

Ive always had hot spots on the pad of my feet just before my arches due to my sweaty feet with the smallest amount of friction. Ive tried every cream, gel and powder available and just about every running sock on the market to minimize friction. I usually have problems going beyond 6 miles due to the burning pain and was fearing whether I could go the distance in my upcoming half marathon. I attended the Chevron Houston Marathon Expo and saw the KT Tape booth where there was a long line of people waiting to be taped by KT personnel. Being the Guinea pig that I am and having tried everything else on the market,I said what the heck and hopped in line too. After describing my issues, she taped each foot with one full strip longways from just under my toes to the back of my heel. She then cut a strip in half and put both short ways across the pad of my foot so that the entire pad was covered by strips. Well, I walked about 500 feet before feeling the tape starting to peel on the ends. Another expo participant shared that the oils and lotions on my feet were the likely cause of the peeling and that alcohol helps. So, I went back to the KT booth and sure enough she sprayed an alcohol solution and applied fresh tape. This time it lasted through the rest of the day and through my half marathon the following day. No pain, no burning, no friction and no peeling of the tape!!! I did another half marathon last Sunday. I wiped my feet with alcohol first and applied the tape exactly as it had been applied by KT....again, worked perfectly!!!! This stuff is amazing. I went on a 2 mile run this morning, applied alcohol first as usual. This time however, I only applied half of a strip across the pad of each foot. Worked like a charm. Gonna try using this same method for longer runs. In short, the tape is very effective even in the moistest areas but the key is to apply alcohol before applying the tape to remove excess oil.

Bought the Pro hoping it would withstand more motion but it really doesnt. In fact, I think the regular KT tape last longer. save money and buy the regular, or even the amazon brand.

I work on my feet in a large theme park on concrete all day. I have plantar fasciitis in my left foot and arthritis in my right knee. This makes standing and getting around a little difficult. I started seeing Guests in the park with this very colorful tape on their knees. I started to do a little research. I asked a couple of Guests if the tape really works, each time I got a resounding, YES! Finally, I gave it a shot. Today was my first day trying the tape. I watched the video this morning on You Tube for my knew and my foot. I have to say, I LOVE IT! I actually walked around today with a real smile on my face! I havent done that in months. 1 piece of tape did start to curl. Ill chalk it up to operator error. It is my first time. Even if it isnt my fault, I dont care. I still have some pain, but nothing like yesterday, or the day before, etc. I feel so much better! This is a God send. It feels like Im wearing a knee brace, but its not too tight and it doesnt slip. This is well worth the money, even if I have to reapply it everyday, which I dont expect. I really do love it. Ill update this review if anything changes. Get some. Thats all I have to say!

Ive used KT Tape off and on for a chronic ankle problem I got from running. When it flared up Id use some tape on it which would provide some relief. The only issue I had with KT Tapes original product was that since I used it on my ankle and foot, the ends of the tape would tend to come loose when you put you shoes and socks on and took them off. And once the ends come loose, its not long before the whole piece of tape wont stay. KT Tape advertises that it will stay on and can be worn for up to 5 days and occasionally I would get that much use out of it, but many times it would only last a day or two. Enter KT Tape Pro. I read a very positive review of it from someone I follow on Twitter and since I already knew the tape worked for me as far as providing relief from my injury, I decided to try a roll of their pro product. Im happy to say it works as advertised. If you apply it as directed (make sure to burnish it down good), it stays on. For several days. If youre wearing it on your feet, you still need to take some care putting on and taking off socks, but as long as you do that, you can wear it for a few days before it needs to be removed. If youve used KT Tapes original product, you will notice KT Tape Pro doesnt have the pre-cut split down the center of each piece. IMO, this is a change for the better. In many applications of the tape, you dont want to split it and its much easier to lay it down as a single piece without that pre-cut split. And if you do need that, its simple enough to do it yourself with a pair of scissors. All in all, a definite improvement on the original KT Tape. Highly recommended.

I have a connective tissue disorder (EDS) that causes my joints to be hyper mobile. My knees, regardless of how much PT I do to strengthen, still dislocate, as do my elbows and many smaller joints like fingers. During the hotter months, my joints get worse, and the colder months make my joints stiffer and therefore less painful. I had a friend recommend these to me after they had a sports injury. Best. Idea. Ever. I slap these babies on and around my knees and look out world, I’m held together with tape, but I’m coming through!! I do have to be careful removing the tape, just because I bruise easily and can tear my skin very easily, but the adhesion is spectacular! These bad boys aren’t moving anywhere! I also love that they are discreet, so I can still wear clothes without a bulky and uncomfortable knee brace. They help alleviate some pain, but they’re not perfect. It would be lovely if they made some with some pain relieving gel inside. I’m still hyper mobile with them on, but I can still go on jogs in the summer like I would in the winter. If you have a connective tissue disorder or have bad joints that need some support, definitely give these a go!

Been using this product for 10 years, ever since I was an injury-prone athlete treating jumpers knee, shin splints, IT band syndrome, knee surgery and shoulder impingement. Worked so well, the staff at Memorial Hermann in Houston doing my physical therapy took an interest for their other clients. Now that Im in cancer treatment, Im very prone to vicious calf and foot arch cramping, as well as vascular pain where the blood vessels just burn and ache in this one spot on the inside of my calf. I was pretty beat up from three airports and in so much leg pain, I could barely stand up to help my family do a puzzle over the dining room table. Also knew I was hiking up a small mountain on the same trip so I was in dire straits Enter KT Tape! Taped my problem arch and soleus muscle where the vascular pain happens and some of the cramping. Hike went off without any pain! When I got to the car, my knees were pretty beat up from the descent and overall body inflammation. Used my old jumpers knee taping technique, and poof, my pain was gone before I got home with takeout. Also, it never came back! This helped me avoid days of knee soreness. The Pro version is totally worth it. Seems more expensive, but if you apply it to clean skin and not over lotion or sunscreen —put that stuff AROUND it—its actually more economical because itll last through multiple days of showers. And because the metallic sheen on the purple just looks that cool!
