The KT Tape team loves getting feedback, testimonials and pictures of KT Tape in action and one of the best ways to do that is through our Facebook page.  One of our favorite posts in recent history comes from an enthusiastic KT Tape fan named Stacey who has a running blog called Staceyruns.com.  From her blog she writes:

This weekend I had a chat with my friend (whom is a personal trainer and in school working on her Masters in Clinical Exercise Physiology (in other words: she has credibility!) about my knee injury and how down I was about not being able to run more than 3 miles at a time.  When I was finished complaining she mentioned that she had the same injury and that she used KT Tape on it and Poof!  It was gone!  No pain, no swelling.  She could run again, just like that!

Ohmygah.  Get me some KT Tape and get it on me NOW!  Right after “work” I went into Sports Authority and fount it in the middle of an aisle.  Oh the colors!  Pinks, greens, blacks, browns, reds, blues… I chose pink, of course.

Now, I’m a bit skeptical when it comes to “miracle cures” and what-not.  But since my friend is a marathoner (3 time over, I think?), runs avidly and is in school for the stuff, then I chose to give it a try.  Coming from anyone else, I probably wouldn’t have run off and bought it an hour after hearing about it.  I at least had to give it a try.  These 3 mile runs aren’t cutting it for me anymore.  I want to train.  I want to race.  The website provides instructional videos on how to place the KT Tape on your leg (or wherever your injury may be).  I lay on the flour of our office and patched myself up.

There is a 4 mile route in Cramerton I used to do that is packed with hills, so I thought it would be best to try it out there.  You guys… I felt no pain the entire run.  No comfort issues.  I felt totally normal, like it used to!  There was no knee pain at all!!!!  I was so happy I wanted to cry.  You know what that means: races, look out, because here I come!!!  I’m slowly going to start increasing my speed and endurance, and maybe… just maybe shoot for a marathon in December.  A little crazy?  Yes!  A lot of fun? YES!

I was so excited about my run that I came home and did ninja moves in our front yard: Hiii-yahhhh!  Take that knee pain!

Thanks Stacey for your great testimonial and for throwing some wicked ninja moves into the mix!  We are so glad that KT Tape was able to help you.
