Sports reviews of KT TAPE Original Cotton Elastic Kinesiology Theraeputic Tape - 20 Pre-Cut 10" Strips, Beige
Customer Review: Easy to use, stays on through multiple workouts, and effective!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I first learned about kinesiology therapeutic taping during a flare up of elbow tendinitis. I'm an avid climber, am prone to repetitive stress injuries and tendinitis, and am not good at "resting," so worked with my physical therapist on a plan that would allow me to recover my elbow while not taking an extended break from climbing. Part of that plan included weekly applications, in the PT office, of kinesiology therapeutic tape. The tape stayed on a couple of days, provided pain relief, and allowed me to gently keep working my arms without aggravating my tendinitis. Unfortunately, though, the tape wasn't commercially available to consumers, so after that round of PT, I went back to traditional athletic taping when I had to for my wrists and knees.
Enter KT Tape. I first tried it for my knees a few months ago -- I don't like to wear a brace, or to use McConnell taping because they affect the natural movement of the knee, when really what I need is just a tiny bit of support to keep my knee tracking properly. KT Tape is described as providing "muscle pain relief, increased mobility, and enhanced recovery," rather than "support," but I find that when I KT Tape my knees according to the directions included with the tape, my knees are less sore at the end of a workout (running, biking, hiking, etc.) and my recovery is much faster. Without KT Tape, I have to rest my knees between impact workout days to recover; when I'm using KT Tape, I can do workouts on back to back days, and even 2 a day.
I haven't tried it for other injuries, but I'm currently rehabbing a case of bicep tendinitis and am looking forward to giving it a try for that. I also heard from a friend that kinesiology therapeutic tape (in general) has helped her avoid shoulder surgery so far; and, have heard a lot of chatter about its use for Plantar Fasciitis (though that's one malady I'm lucky to not struggle with, knock on wood)!
And, quick hits: I love that I don't have to carry scissors with this tape, since it's precut. The adhesive is effective; I've had it on up to four days in a backcountry hiking setting, which exceeded my expectations by about three days. I have yet to do an "adhesive test" in less strenuous settings, but I believe the manufacturer's claim that it would stick for up to 4 or 5 days. I am looking forward to picking some up in the beige color, which will hopefully be a bit more subtle in between workouts than the bright pink of my first box (which garnered questions from almost everybody who sees it). The videos on the website are easy to follow and don't require a PT degree. And, the product is affordable, and doesn't require a trip to the physical therapist.
