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

Really helps.

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.

Love it

I had a bad shin splint for over a month. As soon as I applied the KT Tape and compressed my muscle to the shin bone the constant pain subsided and allowed for the injury to start healing properly.

This tape is way better than the regular black kt tape. It sticks much better. Wish it came with more.

I’m not entirely sure how I functioned without KT tape before. This is a wonderful alternative to bulky braces. If you have any adhesive allergy, like me, I highly recommend starting with skin prep, then laying cover roll over the adhesion area, finishing with KT tape. I’m a big believer in preventative practices but when you have an acute injury, this stuff is miraculous. Their website has a thorough list of videos for various tapings that you can adjust for your needs.

When I first used this product, I was going through so much muscle pain from the arthritis in my knees and shoulder pains. I work overnights and this definitely came in handy cause I applied it before I started working and would go through the entire night without pain. When it was time for me to remove the tape, I can tell the difference cause the pain would return. Definitely recommend this product to anyone who is active like myself that needs anything that can relieve pain without medication.

I have a shoulder pain that becomes unbearable at times at work with some repetitive motion I do lifting a heat sealing machine. I tried everything from creams to pills to vitamins and herbs and heat and cool patches. Nothing worked ! Based on all the reviews I bought this and I am happy with it. The reason I dont give it 5 stars is because it helps reduce the pain ( and it does so greatly) but it does not eliminate it all together. And to be quite fair about it I dont recall the company making any promises to eliminate 100% of pain. The strips also to my surprise helps give my arm support making it not so hard to do the lifting. I made the mistake of thinking the tighter I put it on the better and that was a bad idea. I got blisters and bad red marks that burned for a couple of weeks. So I would caution you to make them tight but not too tight. I was in Walmart the other day and I was surprised to see they were selling these. I was relieved to see I got them cheaper on Amazon ! That always makes me feel good. And keep in mind that was at MY local Walmart and I have no way of knowing what they sell for at other locations. I really hope that helps and hope anybody with muscle pain can get the relief I did with these or even more! [email protected]

I have lived the last few years of my life with severe back issues. A few issues aided to this, but mostly a car wreck that damaged my spine was the final blow. I had several herniated discs, bulging discs and issues that made day to day living a pain. I did my best to find ways around doing things, but still missed simply working out or even sitting up to watch television. KT tape was recommended to me via physical therapy. I thought the entire ideology was a joke. You mean tape, apply to my body, can make me feel better? It sounds absolutely ridiculous. After a few days, I fell in love, and now, almost a year later, I live daily with strips of tape on my back. KT Tape Pro is my SECOND different tape tried. I had heard a few different things about this tape, and was mainly looking for something that applied more support to my spine. KT Tape Pro does this, as well as applies a fantastic adhesive that lasts for 3-5 days (mine averages about four, depending on my workouts, clothing and showers). KT Tape relieves pain to my spin, allows free movement and adds phenomenal support to my spine. I stand up straight, and have next to no pain. Without tape, it is completely night and day difference. This tape was also used on my fiances sprain foot. She has had several issues with her foot, and reinjured it. After a few days of pain, I decided to apply it to her, and see if perhaps this tape just worked on me. Perhaps Ive become too mentally safe with tape, and was just receiving a false sense of feeling better. Within a few days of having this tape applied, my fiance had zero issues with her foot. Swelling had decreased to none and she could freely move without issues. If you have any sort of body pain, or issues, buy this tape.

Not sure if this the production line and/or quality of this particular color, beige, it did not adhere at all like the other two colors, blue and black, I used many times in the past and stayed at least 2 days! It is worst than the cotton version I used, It kept coming off as I start running, knees mostly but lower back also did not stay after 1st time I took shower!
