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

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

I use it on my lower back for pain I didn’t think it was gonna work it did give me some relief

Adhesive power was better before

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.

My daughter is a competitive dancer and injured her shoulder, so before every dance competition, we use this KT tape, which stays on very well, even when you sweat 

Ive been using ktape for a knee injury for a while, thought I would try the pro. It is smoother and lighter material but the tape doesnt stay stuck as well as the regular version. I hoped it would stay on longer but the ends come off when moving and after it is wet it needed replacing. I love the color and the smooth feel but seems inferior for more money.

Love it

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!

ive lost over 130lbs and on my way down Ive developed knee pain and had to stop doing alot of exercises i would normally do.but then i found out about KT tape and at first i told myself what can sticky tape do for me and well my answer is it can do alot!!! i wrap my knees up...(my wife does) at least once per week and it last 4 days maybe even 5,and thats with showering everyday(hint use a blow dryer after the shower on the tape) and omg!! i feel the relief right away on the knees and can do alot more in the gym without pain!! it helps so so much! dont think twice order it now!!. side note: my wife uses the KT tape for her plantar fasciitis and she says it helps with pain relief in that area.
