I have had pain for 3+years and I tried your tape this week and felt tons better. I could not belive that tape would help relieve pain!
My PT has introduced me to KT tape, after the first application I noticed a difference in my pain from my patella tendonitis and mal-tracking patella. KT tape has made it possible for me to do everything, without wearing an awkward knee brace, and still feel secure that my knee won’t give way.
Unfortunately I do not have a mom. My mom and dad passed on a couple of years ago and me and my children helped them through the very hard times of being ill. We did not want them to know how very ill they were so most of the time we would all keep their spirits up. My mom was the best. I remember growing up there was always a roll of KT tape in the house. As a youngter there was always a injury and KT tape was always our life savor. Now as a mom myself I always have a roll of KT tape in the house. My children are dancers and there is always a sprained ankle or even a pulled muscle. My children use the tape to band there feet when dancing. My daughter broke some of the bones in her foot and unfortunately could not be fixed. She dances with no shoes and it if very painful. Now she bands her feet with KT tape and it is a life saver. It is a wonderful tape.
My mom has had both hips replaced this year! I sent her a pink along with a list of good physical therapists in her area so that she could attain better mobility! I hope she sends pictures!!
I had pulled a calf muscle in my aerobics class at ODU and I put some KT tape on my calf before my next class – I felt TONS better and was able to participate in all class activities. I am a FIRM believer in KT Tape!!
I’m a mom of three who had never really run — but after learning there was a Disneyland marathon, I HAD to try. I trained all year — after finishing the Disneyland 1/2 Marathon, I had terrible pain in the side of my foot — I immediately went online to see what it might be and decided to try the taping for Peroneal Tendonitis…before the KT Tape, I was limping and in ALOT of pain. After the taping, I wasn’t limping and the pain left was minimal! I LOVE KT!! I’ve used it for my ITBS too with great results. I tell EVERYONE I know about KT Tape.
If I hadn’t of discovered KT Tape, I’d of had to stop running. I’m now doing my first half marathon on Sunday
I was seeing a physical therapist for tendinitis of the posterior tibialis. He showed me how to use KT Tape to tape for it. It helped so much! I never thought it would because it didn’t need to be stretched tight like most taping. I was amazed and am hooked on KT Tape!
Shin Splits are my worst enemy! Trying to get back into running after my pregnancy and trying to recover from my c-section went smooth in the beginning but once I started to increase my mileage then it went back to having shin splits. Before I had used regular athelic tape because no one will sell KT tape locally. Finally bought it and I use in every run! Makes a huge difference in my runs and its fun trying to educate people about KT tape because they do give you weird looks. My husband is a marathon runner who just recently started using KT tape as well and he makes comments and what a difference the KT tape does on him.
I’m not a mother in the traditional sense. I’m the mother of 28 wonderful and amazing roller derby girls. I’m currently dealing with a sprained MCL & ACL. KT helps during PT & Yoga. Myself, my girls and our refs use KT on previously injured area’s and places that have taken a beating from our sport.
I am not a mom, but I run in honor of my mom that lost her battle to breast cancer. I am a faithful runner that runs almost every breast cancer run locally (dedicated to the D.C KOMEN 5k for the 3rd year, and loves to stay in shape and stay healthy. I recently have been having achilles problems training for the Broad Street 10 miler… and I am hoping (praying) that your tape will help me in some way so I can continue my training to do my utmost PB at this year’s Komen 5K. Now that it is at Walmart, I hope to go and buy a roll and PRAY that my Walmart carries it!
I would really like a pink roll to match my outfit for the KOMEN 5K in June!

I found your product at the Disney Marathon Weekend expo – and have been a huge fan since! Thank you!
I love your tape, I use it for many different things, but mostly on my knee and back. I too can’t beleive how much it helps, it’s wonderful! But here’s another use I found for KT tape, which I carry with me in my car…I needed to repair my outside mirror on my car, and didn’t have any duct tape, so I jused KT Tape It worked! It held my mirror onto the car
Ever try lifting a 30 lb. 1 year old aaaaalll day with horrible carpal tunnel? No? Lucky you
DS was a chunky monkey all through babyhood and my wrist hurt like heck-and-a-half until I tried KT Tape (admittedly for metatarsal pain from TMTS barefoot running. Long story short I decided to try an app for helping my carpal tunnel one day and BOOM! I was cured! Ok, *almost* cured. I still get twinges from time to time, but I now can lift DS (now 32 lbs at age 2) and carry him for longer with almost not pain. I get to be a mom in a much better mood while wearing KT Tape, so my son and family thank you for your help in keeping mama happy!
I had sprained my ankle a couple of years ago and suffered for months wearing the brace the doctor told me to wear. After about 6 months I went to a fitness expo with my aunt and there was a booth for KT Tape and a guy taping people up. I tried it, and I was not in pain for the first time in months! I have used it for a sprained MCL, and now using it to deal with plantars fasciitis and an achilles tear. (Slightly accident prone here!!) This product is now a staple in my First Aid kit!!
As a Mom I’ve learned one of the most important things I can do for my family is take care of myself – I ran the OKC Memorial Half Marathon last weekend and used KT tape on my left knee to ensure I didn’t have any pain and could do my “Mom duties” as soon as I crossed that finish line! My 4 year old daughter and husband were there waiting for me and through the rain, wind, cold and hail my KT tape held strong and I felt great when I finished!
I have a suplaxating shoulder and KT tape helps with the pain.
I love KT tape. I used it for shin splints and ITBS while training for the Women’s Running half in St. Pete last fall. It was amazing. I always keep it on hand in a few colors just in case. My daughter will be wearing it at Disney tomorrow night for our Mother/daughter Expedition Everest challenge.
Absolutely I use KT Tape – what else are we suppose to use for the “C” in R.I.C.E. ?
I use it for longer runs/races or if I feel I might need it as extra support. In fact, bought another box today.
It has helped minimize strains and pains. During my recent PT for a hip injury, I was told that me wearing my KT Tape most likely prevented even greater harm to my hip.
I am 49 yrs old and I have two school aged children (yes, I started motherhood late in life). I am an avid runner who races 1-2 times a month from distances of 5K – up to Half Marathon.
Happy Mother’s Day to Everyone!
I play tennis 4-6 days/week and loved the game but i started having sciatica problem that goes all the way down to my heel. I have done accupuncture, regular massage theraphy that gives me temporary releif but when my husband saw KT Tape, he made me try it and he taped me pretty well and boy, I’m so glad he discovered KT tape…it has been 18 mos. that i get by playing tennis as much as i enjoy it with lesser pain and now, my sciatica is under control because of KT tape… One thing i love about it too is that you can keep it for a couple days which really helps heal your aches and pain. So my hubby and I are a KT Tape fanatic that we share it to all our fellow players…..
Can’t let shoulder or knee pain get me down …. gotta keep those homefires burning and kids where they need to be!At one of dd #2′s College Volleyball games was the first time we saw your amazing tape, then dd#1 strained her MCL skiing over Christmas and became a huge fan after her PT used it; I’ve used it for shoulder tendonitis and neck pain (I have fibro as well) and it’s AH MAZE ING! Where have you been all my life? Oh well I’m glad I found you now! I recommend you to all my friends who are having issues and we sent a roll to hubby who’s currently in Iraq (go round #4) for his runner’s knee and some neck issues as well! I guess as a Mom it’s my job to keep it stocked now too?! Thanks again!
ran with shin splints (without kt tape huge mistake) then pinched my sciatic…KT Tape to rescue!!! Made it through 4 spin class this past week. My students were surprised to see that I was taped and still going 100%…so thankful for KT Tape this week. Only down side, is no excuses at home, I tried telling the hubby my back was still bugging me and he laughed and offered to tape me.
I am 63 years old – a mother and a grandmother who had my right hip replaced 4 years ago. My left hip now is ‘cranky’ but KT Tape has given me enough relief that I can go to my aerobics classes three times a week and walk other days.
The thanks for this goes to my eldest daughter, Colleen, who suggested I give it a try.
Thanks for everything ‘KT Tape’!!!!
I have known about kinesiology tape for a long time. As a busy Mom, I can’t wait for mail orders. I am so glad it is easily available at stores like Walmart and Sport Authority because now I can use it as much as I like when I like! It’s a great product and is easy to use. Love the colors. I have recommended it to family and friends.
Personally, I use it for my bilateral achilles tendinitis. I’m on my feet a lot and I love to do aerobics and it helps me through my activities. My daughter has had trouble with shin splints in track this spring and it has come in quite handy. My husband has a torn meniscus and I’ve been taping him for pain/swelling. We have all noticed a difference with the tape.
We are a KT Tape Family!!!
My wife has used it to tape my knees and shin splints several times, but the best use for it was when she had to tape the leg back on one of my sons army guys that the dog had bitten off. She didn’t know how to get our son to stop crying so she said to him if it help daddy with his pain it might help you solider. We laugh about it all the time.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mom’s who have posted here!
I’m a 50 yr old mom of two wonderful sons. The youngest (19 yrs old) is still at home, but preparing for a trip to Europe. He and a few of his friends are planning on trekking through several countries on foot. This is a lofty goal for anyone, but perhaps even more so for him since he has been dealing with Plantar Fasciitis for the past 10 years (it’s rare to have this problem at such a young age).
I’m a trail runner (working towards ultra distances). I’m currently recovering from my own experience of Plantar Fasciitis. If it wasn’t for KT tape I wouldn’t be able to continue with my training. KT tape has helped immensely!!!
I will be sure that my son has several rolls of KT tape as he sets out for his adventures through Europe!
KT tape is amazing!! Thank you!!!
My daughter just went to the BYU invitational and she loves it! Thanks for letting us know about this! Her whole team wants to try it now.
I am a mom of 4 who just I just bought KT tape the other night for knee pain and neck pain. I’m amazed at the difference it made right away! I would love to win a roll as I know I’m completely addicted now. Pink would be awesome

I’d love a roll of KT for this (2012) Mother’s Day. I’m the mother of two and a roller derby skater. KT is a fabulous product! I use it to prevent injuries as it gives me that added support I need right where I need it. Thank KT!
