How I use the tape I an everyday thing, from my own kids that are very sport oriented to the the kids I work on in the training room I call my own, all the athletes that have benefited from some sort of application of KT Tape to another. Being as I have a very limited budget I wish I could have more of it but just can’t afford it with school budget cuts and the necessity of ordering other supplies.
Happy Fathers Day to y’all as well…..
I Just taped two IT Bands and a low-back on a runner preparing for a race tomorrow. Yesterday, I taped a Knee for a softball player insisting on playing through an injury and needed something. (It worked!) My son and my nephew had an ankle taped up recently, and at one point I had half of my daughter’s basketball team taped up in one way or another! KT Tape is simply the best out there and the protocols work without a doubt! I have tested the rest and KT has still proven that it is the best product out there! Thank you for all of your service. You make my job much less of one!
I tape up my ankles with KT tape so I can chase my kids around and play “Monster” a modified game of tag where I never get to be not it. But when I do catch them I carry them to the sofa and give them a helicopter body slam. They are so short and quick (ages 5 &
that I would never catch them with out the tape. Thanks.
I started using KT Tape about a couple of months ago because I was trying to find some help with my strained Achilles. It worked amazing so I recommended to my dad for a problem with his forearm and elbow. He used to be a goalkeeper (soccer) in school and college, but had to quit because of an injury in his hand. He’s always has worked with wood, designing and making furniture and toys as a hobby since I can’t remember. A couple years ago he started doing it less and less, which made him kind of sad. He had treatment on his arm (as his doctor told him), but couldn’t do much of his hobby.
Since using KT Tape is back at full working on that almost every night and every weekend
It’s really helped us both. Thanks KT Tape
Two years ago I was 325 pounds, out of shape, out of energy, out of patience, and killing myself. In December 2009 that all changed. I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes, high blood pressure, and my sleep apnea upgraded to severe. While the diagnosis explained my awful temper, my mood swings, and my elevated stress levels it did NOT excuse them.
I resolved myself to lose the weight, recover my health, and give my family the Dad/Husband they deserved. I set out, with help from a few friends, to drop the weight first. With the right diet and right activity the pounds melted off. After 7 months I’d lost nearly 90 pounds but was stalling and couldn’t shed more weight. My diabetes educator, a runner himself, advised me to get running. He dared me to run a a marathon.
Well, I didn’t start as a marathoner, I started with the goal of completing a 5 mile race. I ran pretty much daily but 7 weeks before my race I felt a twinge, a pain, an excruciating pain in my knee. Only when I ran and walking felt better. IT Band! You guessed it. I was sidelined and upset. I did the stretching, the exercises, and still no real improvement.
I googled IT Band support, devices, etc and came across KT Tape. I was leary but the testimonies, videos, and website convinced me to try it anyway. I was desperate and only 4 weeks away from my 5 mile race. I picked up the roll and experimented with different taping patterns until I settled into the Lateral Knee Pain method. It worked and I was elated.
Not quite ready for my 5 Mildred by way of stamina having been 3 weeks waylaid but I hit the course. To my happiness, no pain, all joy. KT Tape WORKED and I was able to complete my 5 mile race and my first running goal.
A few weeks later I picked up with a marathon training group at Fleet Feet-Buffalo and set put on my mission. I completed my first half marathon in May and will complete my first marathon in October. All with KT Tape on my knees.
How has this made me a better man? Dad? Husband? Well the answer is pretty simple. Running helps me stay fit, being fit and healthy makes me happier and more focused on what’s important – family. Without KT Tape I would be running and I would have my little girl cheering me on at every race, even the rainy ones.
Thanks KT Tape, you make me a better Dad because you help me run safer, longer, and with more stability.
Mike
I use KT Tape to tape my sports hernia and IT Band on my knee so I can keep on running. Love the stuff!
I use it all the time —Its works Great!!!!!!! Happy Fathers Day to all
So, I remember the day I was playing Wii Fit with my kids and got on the scale and the Wii fit made my little Avatar FAT and told me I was obese. The next day I went to Dick’s got a pair of running shoes and have not stopped since then. I have had my ups and downs with pain. I entered my first 5k race that was held the morning of my son 5 birthday and I ran my but off with several work friends and I ran my butt off. I beat them all but one and when I was done I thought I was going to die from the pain I felt in my knees. The woman that I did not beat after told me all about KTape and the importance of it. How it had changed her running life and allowed her to run pain free. So I had tried it for my knees and had fallen it love with the product. Well lets just say my son just turned 8 a few weeks ago. My Avatar is thin and so am I. I am not longer obese and I do not want to throw the Wii out the window. Folks dont every give up. Get out there and have fun. Make it a goal to just enter a race and you will get hooked. You have the product to keep you running and with there step by step video’s to show you how to use it you can do it pain free. So no more excuses. Lets get out there and have fun on our feet again.
Hey MIKE!
Great job, Keep it up we are all proud of you!
I found KT Tape online while looking for something to help my Achilles Tendonitis while training for my first marathon. During my 22 mile training run, I felt a sharp pain in my achilles at about mile 15. Since I was on an out and back run, I had no choice to keep running. After my run, I could barely walk. I treated the injury with the conventional RICE (rest ice compression elevation) therapy and was out of training for 3 of the 4 weeks before my race. I found KT tape’s website and purchased a roll of black tape and began watching the instructional videos to learn how to tape my injury. I was amazed at how well KT tape helped my achilles during my marathon. I was able to run pain free in my achilles, every where else hurt on my legs, and finished in 3:53.
I know use KT tape on other parts of my body. Recently I used KT tape on my right knee during my first Olympic Distance Triathlon, placing 3rd in my age group. It stayed on during the 1.5K swim and held during the 40 K bike and 10K run with no problem from my knee.
I am a true believer and a loyal user of KT Tape. Thanks for the support!
I have been having some ankle issues and my trainer wrapped it in KT TAPE. Although she only had the Hot Pink colored Tape, it was well worth and I sported it proud. Within a few minutes I felt relief and even went out that same day and purchased some from Dick’s Sporting Goods. Of course I bought the blue tape.
I swear by KT Tape and have used it on my 9 year’s old back and my mother in law’s foot. We have a very active family and I try to stock up because between spending our weekends at the US National White Water Center, running, and training at the gym, KT Tape is a necessity.
