This tape saved my Sanity!!!!!!!!!!!! As a wife of a UNITED STATES SOLDIER who was serving in Afghainstan at the time he ended up with a injury that caused him to be in pain nonstop since my husband is the stubborn type and believes the motto no pain no gain, he continue to take on his task of a soldier and continue to do his daily functions without the tape I do not think he would of been able to make it thru the long days on his feet…. I as a spouse of this fine Soldier do not understand what the meaning is behind this colored tape and still have not found out but all I can say whatever this magic tape has in it… well it does the job and did a outstanding JOB for this SOLDIER of mine who request for it to be sent to him in his care packages when he was deploy… THANK YOU for all that you do and thank you for coming up with a product that saved my LIFE and my SANITY… a PROUD WIFE of a UNITED STATES SOLDIER…
As a service memeber, the events of 9/11/2001 make me realized that we take everything in life for granted. I can still remember that day like if it was yesterday I wake up I turn on the TV when I hear my fellow soldiers talking about it and then I ask them, What’s going on? They tell me have watched the news today? I switch the TV to CNN and I see both airplanes hitting the World Trade Center. At the moment my life change forever my beliefs on how great is this country and how we never go down without a fight and how we can embrace union as citizens. Having 4 combat tours under my belt I got diagnosed with PTSD and I found running my cure or we can say my therapy, now that I have problems with my right knee, I use the KT Tape every time that I do any physical activity and I love it!!! It’s a great product to use to aleviate pain on my knee. Now I’m running strong everyday and looking forward to run my first Marathon which will be the MCM in 2012.
Red, White and Blue these color never runs!!!!
I am a volunteer canine handler with our Sheriff Search and Rescue. I don’t even begin to compare my abilities with those handlers who were deployed to Ground Zero. They are the FEMA handlers who train every day and have the dogs with the most experience. I am a local resource for city and county and stand ready for any needs, searches for missing people, live or deceased. I train with my team every week, twice a week between work and family and give everything to help others. My dogs will be there for whatever happens and I will gladly step aside to assist the FEAM teams and take care of their dogs if we were deployed to a major situation. I am a proud first responder with our search and rescue team, but a small part of the bigger picture. I was running the day of 9/11 and running still. I take my hat off to those who serve full time and thank you for my chance to run freely and without fear.
I am a 3rd generation Marine currently stationed on MCBH Kaneohe Bay, HI. Both of my parents served in the military during my child-hood years and my step-father is still an active duty officer in the USN. My father was a Marine and my mother a retired sailor. It is a right of passage in my family to serve our country before we pursue personal endeavors. To earn our place in society and to never wonder if we did enough for our country. People say you never forget where you were when you first heard that the towers were hit. This is very true, I was sitting right next to my mother as she watched the news on tv and waited to get a phone call on when she would get deployed. I pray that all the family memebers of those passed in the attacks on 9/11 and especially those service members who payed the ultimate sacrifcie by going to the enemies front door and personally delivering a boot to the face of the enemy, may find peace. Thanks to all who have served, currently serve, and the those who will serve in the future. Semper Fidelis
I am a police officer and I run as a hobby. I use KT tape on all of my long runs for runners knee. It helps me get through the tough 15+ mile training runs and supports my knees in the days after my run. I love KT tape!
Many thanks for a magnificent web page, you have supplied excellent information for your visitors looking for pain relief from bad back pain. This really is such a debiliatating problem. I appreciate all the work you’ve put into your site with the intention of will help folks get some pain relief from this pain.
I’ve been law enforcement foe 15 years and part of SWAT for approx.8-9 years. I use to have no problems training. But my wife and I began grainy for half marathons and after my first half the outside of my knee began to hurt during the run I finished but in pain. I heard about KT tape ( can’t remember from where) I bought a roll and used it no None Zero pain after watching the video on IT band taping. I now tape before every long run and SWAT training also the arch and right ankle have been hurting KT also helps me get through SWAT training and even my long runs. My team and I are now training for the international SWAT competition in Orlando FL. In Nov. We all are hurting and could us a little help to make it through all the bumps and bruises and aching muscles and sore joints. Also I have my wife hooked on KT (pink)!!!!
Thanks,

Kt Tape,
I have been serving in the military for the past ten years. During that time I have deployed 3 times in support of the Global War on Terror. During these deployments and throughout my service I have been banged up, blown up, bounced around, and humped more weight than I care to say. Doing all this has let to some back issues. I have tried everything from all kinds of different patches to multiple cream’s and even a brace and nothing have helped. I have been training for my first marathon and went to get some news shoes and saw the KT Tape. I figured why not try it the clerk said it had worked wonders for her. Soon as I put it on instantly I noticed the support and my back pain went away, that was the first time in awhile that I can remember not having it. It actually felt so good that I went a couple of extra miles and still didn’t have pain. So thank you KT Tape for helping me achieve of my lifelong goals. You have made a loyal user out of me!!!

I’m currently serving in the US Navy, 13+ years now. I love using KT tape whenever I go for a run, it keeps my plantar fasciitis at bay. My friend tuned me into KT tape after I ran the Virginia Beach Shamrock Dolphin Challenge, which was an 8K followed by a half marathon the next day. It has made a huge difference for me, and I’m so glad my friend told me about it! I just wish I had heard about it a few years ago, I would’ve taken it on my deployments!
