What does it do?

KT Tape Original provides pain relief and support for hundreds of common injuries including ankle sprains, runners knee, hamstring strains, carpal tunnel, wrist pain, neck strains, calf strains, shoulder pain, Achilles tendonitis, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, plantar fasciitis, shin splints, rib pain, gluteus pain, quad strain, IT band hip, groin strain, hip flexor pain, foot pain, heel pain, bunions, turf toe, SI joint, back pain, Osgood Schlatter, peroneal tendonitis, abdominal pain, rotator cuff, finger jam, thumb pain, bicep pain and tricep pain.

KT TAPE is applied along muscles, ligaments, and tendons (soft tissue) to provide a lightweight, external support that helps you remain active while recovering from injuries. KT Tape creates neuromuscular feedback (called proprioception) that inhibits (relaxes) or facilitates stronger firing of muscles and tendons. This feedback creates support elements without the bulk and restriction commonly associated with wraps and heavy bracing. KT Tape Original gives you confidence to perform your best.
