This is the only brand I will use... it stays on and doesnt hurt the skin and also doesnt leave any black residue. Its worth the extra money!

Good price and help me alot with 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 tore my PCL, meniscus, and completely tore my ACL in my knee back in 2012 as a result of a car accident. I have struggled with my knee and have had a ACL reconstruction, PCL repair twice, meniscus repair twice, and a lateral release of my knee cap due to a tendon being too tight and my knee cap not moving in the correct place resulting in severe pain. The lateral release has definitely helped with my pain, but as of late I have been getting excruciating pain when walking that hits right in the middle of my knee and radiates all throughout and brings me down to the ground most of the time. I have struggled with getting my knee cap to cooperate in the healing process even a year later and it still wants to go to the side when flexed (because of the lateral release). The anti inflammatory pills, huge knee braces, icing, and PT exercises haven’t seemed to help. This product has mixed reviews, but I decided to try it based off the fact that the reviews for knees seemed good. I applied it in a way to keep my kneecap from going to the side when flexed. It is not a complete fix for my issue, but I have to say as soon as I put it on and started walking around I could tell such a difference! The pain is much less severe, and it feels a lot less like a constant thought of “is this step about to take me out” and more like “oh I can keep doing things and not think about it”. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone with knee pain from injuries that is looking for something to help on more active days! I needed to share this ASAP, so I haven’t had it on for long. I noticed a lot of people complaining of peeling, but it looks as though those strips were applied too stretched out and that is why they are peeling. I completely removed the backing, then I stuck the strip at one point with my knee straight out and gave it a LIGHT stretch to compensate for bending my knee, and stuck the rest of the strip down. So far, there is no sign of peeling. I will update my review when I have worn these for a few days. Overall, I am so very happy with my purchase! Update: I am remodeling my kitchen, so at the end of the day after lots of bending, getting up and down, being in weird positions, I was having some issues with my knee and did have a sharp pain that took me down. My chiropractor told me to apply differently (updated pic: bend knee and apply strips in a V shape around knee, then straighten knee and add a strip snug below knee cap). This pic is 3 days after wearing the tape, no peeling! I will note that I have not submerged it in water at all though. I have not have any of the sharp pains at all! I still stand by it being a great tool to use!

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

I use this for plantar fasciitis and I noticed that it’s really helpful on days that I’m on my feet or doing a lot of walking. Definitely reduces the heel pain and it makes me able to stay on my feet a lot longer than usual. I don’t even notice that they’re on my feet when I wear them.

If you have pain, its the best way.

Very easy to apply.used it to tape my shoulder.

Over time it starts to wear and not be as sticky

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!
