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

My husband decided to try this after he had a tennis elbow injury. He loves this tape and it keeps the pain at bay for him to be able to do his job

Love it

I have used this product for years and swear by it.

KT Tape continues to perform better than other brands weve tried. My wife has chronic knee issues and it enables her to play tennis with minimal discomfort. Without it, she wouldnt even be on the courts.

About six years ago I was having problems with my plantar fasciitis and my pt recommended KT tape. I watched YouTube videos, bought some on Amazon, used it and it really helped. Recently Ive been having problems again. I bought some more. It doesnt stick like it used to. I used to wear it through showers, for a couple days. Now I put it on at night and its loose by the morning. It wont last through a shower at all. I shower at night, scrub my feet clean so its going on a completely clean surface. It helps, but where it used to last at least 3 days now it lasts 6 hours at most.

I have runners knee where my kneecap doesnt track straight and I get pain from high mileage and downhill running. I have used all kinds of braces or supports in the past. I was hesitant to use tape because I thought I may apply it incorrectly and actually do more harm than good. Then I found the YouTube videos for KT tape and decided to give it a shot. The tape has allowed me to keep training for a marathon I have. I was at a point where I was in pain after one mile, but as soon as I started using the tape the discomfort became less and less. After three weeks Im back doing 15-18 mile long runs and about 40 total a week. I have applied the tape four times in a month. Each time I did it right after getting out of the shower so there was no body oils on my leg. I have normal leg hair for a guy and the tape is OK on the leg hair when in place, but removing it even after a week is not pleasant. This last time I shaved the area that would be taped. I havent removed it yet, but Im sure itll be a better experience. I have also noticed that its holding up much better on the edges. After 4-5 showers the edges get a little ratty. I have taped my wife for her plantar fasciitis. The ankle rubs a lot more in the shoe so the tape lasts less than a week. Even so, she has been happy with the support and guidance provided by the tape. In the end it costs about $2.25-2.50 each time I tape my knee. Im hoping to stop using it after my marathon and work on strengthening my legs more but until then this tape makes running much more bearable. Watch the YouTube videos, clean your skin with soap and dry, dont touch the adhesive and consider shaving the area for best adhesion and comfort. I forget its even there.

This product works. I have runners knee on my right, and a bone contusion on my left and it helped with the pain! I purchased this tape to avoid using knee braces after my specialist recommended it. So far it’s helped with supporting my knees and relieving pain. I must admit that once in awhile I still get sudden shocks of pain with the tape on, which is to be expected hence my 5 star rating regardless. Nothing can be perfect. Anyway, it took me awhile to realize but you have to RUB THE TAPE once it’s on your skin so that it sticks properly. Rub it a good ~35seconds but not back and forth, rub it STRICTLY one direction. Otherwise you’re risking the tape peeling off from the edges. Then you have to wait a couple hours before you can do any vigorous activity or else the tape starts wrinkling real bad. Trust me I’m taking with experience. The tape sticks alright in water but it takes its time with drying. Peeling off the tape is surprisingly easy if you don’t rub it in. I am yet to find out how easy it is after actually rubbing it in. If you need 5inch strips from the 10inch just cut it in half and CURVE THE EDGES! If you don’t then the corners will peel. I recommend shaving the area where the tape will be placed because it hurts when it tugs the hairs.

Great for sports injuries

Long distance runner. Strong tape.

KT tape is so useful for so many injuries and sprains. I rely on it a lot
