A few months ago, I had a minor calf tear which kept me out for weeks. Despite the many hours spent staying in the physio’s room getting my DTMs done, I was never really back at my full potential. My coach then happened to introduce to me the KT tape which I am still using! (Colours are amazing, btw!) and they have definitely helped me with my performance not only in games but in training. The tape has definitely reduced any pain and it certainly does help! I have used KT Tape for my neck, quads and calves so far and I’m most likely going to start applying it on the other areas that definitely need some attention! KT Tape has also saved me some good money! No need for the physiotherapist when I have KT tape :pppp Definitely spreading the word about this amazing tape!!! Works wonders!! Good thing about is that it has the adhesive on it so it doesn’t pull out my leg hair when I remove it :p
Oh darn! Forgot to leave my age behind. I’m 15 btw!
I may not be a teen or in high school, but i am in college and going thru the police academy and have started running again to get back in shape. i played softball and ran track in high school and injured my knee(s) several times. I was told i have runners knee and jumpers knee and they have bothered me doing any activity like running or squatting. I started back running my knees started hurting again like they did and got stiff. i bought a roll of tape and with in one hour my knee was feeling better and not as tight. i could bend it and i could feel my knee pop a couple of times and the pressure was off. I use it when i run and by the end my knee is not bothering me like it did before, I am hoping my december i can run with little to no pain. thanks KT tape. i love it.

I’m 17 years old and I’m going to be a senior at Hillsborough High School. I’m a nationally ranked tennis player and I play practically everyday. Last year, I began having some pain in my back. It turned out, I had an overuse injury called a stress reaction. I had edema and inflamation in my lower spine, specifically the L3 vertebrae. I used the KT Tape to help reduce pain and swelling and luckily, I was able to get back on the court within two months. KT tape really helped me recover and I was able to further improve the way that I play tennis.
Hello to everyone!
I’m a 17 year old Volleyball player from Slovenia, in february I injured my ankle prety badly(cracked talus bone, partialy torn ligaments, medial sprain), which required a surgery, to remove the parts of the broken talus bone, but because the finals of the National Youth Championships were coming in just a few months(7th may), I decided to undergo the surgery after the season, and so with lots of help from your facebook page(Posted about my problems and some of your guys posted an application for my problem which helped me a lot) I managed to train for 3 months, and then play both matches at the finals with an acceptable level of pain and swelling. In the end I helped my team to acheave the best result in the history of our club: Slovenian Youth Vice champions!!
After winning the medal it was time for the surgery, during the rehab proccess KT helped me again to reduce the post-op swelling. Finnaly, two weeks ago I was able to start training again, but because my ankle is still weak, I suffered a partial calf tear, but again that didn’t stop me, because KT Tape was there to help me!
So to finnish this post, I just want to say: THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH KT TAPE! Withouth you, I don’t think I would be able to feel the best feeling in the world: To celebrate the silver medals around our necks, with the best teammates in the world!
Thanks again, and keep up the good work!
I am 14 years old and entering 9th grade (freshman). I play tennis and i practice everyday and have matches twice a week. I am actually using kt tape right now. I was practicing basketball with my sister and i twisted my ankle and i found kt tape and it worked GREAT. I wish i had this stuff last year when i broke my kneecap. This stuff works like magic. KT tape i my new favorite product. THANKS KT TAPE!
hey guys at KT,
Im a fifteen year old soccer, and baseball player that has been threw enough injuries to be considered a old man until i found KT tape. I have had a major hip flexor problem for the majority of my freshman year in sports. I missed almost my whole soccer season as a goalkeeper and suffered in my baseball season too. I went to physical therapy two times a week for a month with little improvement after shock therapy, ultrasound, strengthening exercises, ect. They told me it must all be in my head. So i suffered on the sidelines rooting my team on. Than one day after a game wishing i could have played i was online searching for stuff to help with sports injuries and i found KT tape so i read reviews saying it was some miracle tape and said to my self “I need a miracle right now”, so i went down to my local Sports Authority and bought some. I went online watched the instructional video and put it on. Within a week I recovered faster than i have in 7 months. Now im back to and better than ever in goal blocking shots. I also have had a rotator cuff injurie, a calf injurie, knee injurie, and an AC joint sprain that have all passed by with KT tape. This tape has honestly saved my career in sports and still is today.
I’m an 18 year old sporty boy from manila, Philippines. I play a lot of sports, volleyball, badminton, table tennis, soccer, swimming but exceeded in playing basketball a sport which i love the most. Considered the MVP in our family. When i was in high school i was a member of our varsity team. member of badminton team when i was a sophomore, in Junior i was in the volleyball and Basketball in my Senior year. My coach always encourage me o play harder and win the game not for myself but always for my team but the only thing he is worried about are my cramps. my playing time is limited because of my cramps so watching PBA and NBA i saw this players who has this kind of tape around their body. I said why not o try it could be effective because professional players use it. I went to Sports Warehouse and look for this tape. They recommended KT tape and no doubt i bought it. Then i ask for a video on how to put this tape in my calf in facebook. After that I’m back to normal. My playing time is now longer and when playing good extended. then i experience this shoulder pains then again look for a video about it and recovered a lot form it. thanks to this KT tape and please i am running a out of tape and the tape cost me a lot of money my allowance is not enough for buying the tape. Let me win.:) Thank you.
I am 16 years old and play soccer and kick for the Varsity football team. I had a soccer game early yesterday morning and a football game last night. During my soccer game my quad made a pop sound and went down in pain. The athletic doctor told me strained my Quad. That night I dressed for our football game and tried to punt once in warmups and there was no way. So through the game our second string kicker/punter played and did well, although he did not kick extra points. We were up 40 to 19 the start of the 4th quarter. with 2 minutes left it was 40-40. WE were on the 15 yard line and they put me in for a field goal. I am quite good at field goals, but by the time i got to the ball and extended my leg i was in the worst pain in my life. I couldnt even get off the field. Our team won in OT 46-40. Today I cannot even walk.
i couldnt run so i used kt tape to get rid of the pain
It was the semi final for high school soccer in my state. We had never made it this far in the history of our school. I was one of the best 3 players on our team. I already knew about KT Tape. During warm ups me and our best player collided and we both got hurt. I couldn’t walk and neither could he. He had a really painful bruised knee and my ankle really hurt. I told one of our teammates to rush to Dicks Sporting Goods and buy a wrap of KT Tape. ( He sat the bench so it was ok). He got their 15 mins into the first half and we were losing 2-0. I quickly told my dad to wrap me and then i wrapped my friend (i know how to apply the application for both knee and ankle due to previous injuries). We then warmed up and felt good to go. We both came in 5 mins before the first half but couldn’t score. In the second half we scored 4 goals and won 4-3 and took our team to the finals! He scored 2 goals and I scored 1 my self. Ever since, he has been using KT Tape and of course, I never stopped. Thanks KT Tape! We went from 4th place to 1st thanks to you guys! I <3 KT Tape!!

I use KT Tape on my knee for my Osgood Disease. I love to run 5K’s and I am currently working towards a half-marathon but if it wasn’t for KT Tape I wouldn’t be able to run 100 feet without pain. With the tape on my knee I can run the whole 5K without any knee pain what so ever. I am 11 years old and hope to run a full marathon by the time I’m 15. Thanks KT Tape, I wouldn’t be able to do it without you.

Thank you so much for posting the new video application for Osgood-Schlatter disease. My 12 year old son was diagnosed with the disease and from the beginning KT tape; coming by recommendation of my niece; has been a lifesaver for him. A lot of people have never even heard of the disease, let alone take the time to research it and provide public information on how to help alleviate pain for athletes. My son’s orthopedic told us as long as he could tolerate the pain, any sports involvement would not effect the progression or severity of the disease. I haven’t found ANYTHING else on the market that provides an all natural method of pain relief. My son and I appreciate all KT Tape does in efforts to assist athletes reach their peak performance!!
6 months ago I found out I had torn my meniscus due to overuse. My doctor gave me the option of surgery or playing my senior year of basketball in intense pain. I love playing Basketball so I decide to bypass surgery and play ball. I’ve been trying many remedies like braces and athletic tape, but both didn’t worked well and slowed me down. So I saw an ad for a different companies Kinesiology tape at the local drug store. I tried it and to say the least, it sucked. So I began shopping around and found out you could buy KT tape at sports authority so i gave it a try. I LOVE IT. I’ve been wearing it a month non-stop and have felt a major impact. I feel like my old self, becoming bigger, faster, and stronger for next year. To sum it up, KT tape saved my senior season.
I am 15 years old, a cross country runner, and play soccer right after cross country. I had posterior shin splints with KT Tape my shins dont bother me in either sport, and i no longer have to ice for as long as i had to.
16 yr old wrestler in the state championships pulled my trap dad had KT tape with him.

Age 17
im 14 and i am a freshman i play for the freshman football team and when i go to tackle my lefy shoulder feels like it dislocates and then pops back in. i asked the trainers if they could tape my shoulder up and they said there is no propper taping for the shoulder. when i was at sports authority i saw the kt tape and i bought it to try it. i use the tape before every game and i can not beleive how good it works if u didnt have this tape i would not be playing football for highschool. every time i hit if reels stable and firms not so loose. i am trying to get the athletic director to order the kt tape to use and if the players like it , start to use it
