KT Tape Pro Ultra-Breathable Synthetic Kinesiology Tape, Jet Black, 20 Precut Strips

This tape is great if you are looking for support that is not bulky or slides off like the sleeve type braces. Once you get the hang of applying the right tension (stretching the tape) across the affected area you will quickly notice the difference. I use the tape on my knee to support my patella after having meniscus surgery and it works wonderfully. I can do my knee exercises in comfort with minimum pain. Again, watch the videos on youtube on how to apply the tape and you will not regret it.

After walking for years, first for weight loss and then for exercise, I recently decided to start running. After buying a few different kinds of sneakers, hoping to relieve the horrible shin splints I was experiencing, I settled for spending a ton of money on a new pair of asics. When those only helped a little bit, a friend told me I should try KT Tape. I admit that I was very skeptical, I mean, how could a few pieces of tape help something that hurt SO bad? Well, I wish I would have tried it sooner, because the relief was immediate! I easily YouTube'd the video that demonstrated application, which is simple, and felt no pain during my run. While I don't think I could leave the tape in place for 3 days like it says you can (it itches my skin if I leave it on for longer than a day and a half lol), I believe that, as long as you apply it to properly cleaned skin, it has the ability to stick that long! I also tried the original KT tape, but the pro is so much better, and not much more expensive. Walmart was also the cheapest place I found online, and site to store shipping was free and only took a few days! I recommend this to anyone with pain anywhere. It works!
