Here are three more recent KT Tape video's requested by our customers on Twitter and Facebook. If you'd like to request a video please let us know!
BICEP STRAINS
KT Tape can help relieve the pain in the bicep by relaxing a damaged muscle, increasing blood flow to reduce inflammation, or relieving pressure off of the area. However, pain at the bicep can range from a minor issue to a severe problem. If you are uncertain, see a medical professional.

TENNIS ELBOW
This video is an update for our tennis elbow application. KT Tape helps to treat tennis elbow by increasing circulation to a relatively non-vascular area. KT Tape also decreases pressure and creates fascial manipulations to reduce pain. To minimize healing time, one should also perform light progressive stretching of the forearm muscles, ice after activity, implement massage, and focus on core movements rather than overuse of the extremities. NSAIDs may also be taken to reduce pain and any inflammation that may be present.
Once symptoms have subsided, implementation of a strength training program targeted at the shoulders, back, and core will help to reduce strain on the forearm. Technique improvement during sport or occupation will also greatly reduce the occurrence of tennis elbow.
