This stuff is amazing.... I use it every summer. I have pulled a hamstring and a calf muscle this year and havent missed a game due to the KT tape..... Make sure you watch the video's on how to apply it and it works like a dream... I played 2 games after pulling my hammy on the same day I pulled it just by putting the KT tape on.....
I have been using it off and on for many years .... make sure you follow the instructions and watch the videos for correct use for your injury... (the Pro version tends to work better for me in high humidity Florida)
The key is to remember its not just for while you are playing, it is to help in the healing process and you should leave it on for a few days to assist in that process

This stuff is amazing!!! Was turned onto it about 5 years ago by the surgeon who reattached the ligament and tendon in my thumb. It helped with the swelling during the healing process as well. Since then I've used it to help with a shoulder problem with great results, although it will still need to be repaired soon. Another great use for it would be when you take a ball to the shin. Apply the tape to the whole goose egg and it will help the blood circulate better, speed up the healing process, and reduce the chance of a bacterial infection which can often happen due to the blood buildup on the spot of impact.

I got turned on to it when I separated my shoulder. It really works to help with pain and speed up healing

I was going to do this .. to my shin but didn't want to shave my leg
so just putting ice on it and massage. Seems to be healing.
The people who helped with my double knee replacement which I had done on 11/01/2010 turned me onto this tape and it did wonders. I still use it to this day.
I play softballl 4 times per week and I play hockey twice a week also and without this tape, I would definitely not be ale to perform the way I can. Just make sure to follow the instructional videos etc. for proper application.

Started using it last night and it did seem to make a difference on my hamstring and knee. Not once did I think about my hammy running bases! It held up in 90*/95% humidity weather. Like everyone said, be sure to watch the video on how to apply it and do not apply it over hair...it will hurt like hell lol

I use it on my knee and have used it for lower back pain as well. I suggest using the KT PRO Tape as it hold up better and as long as you are not a wookie you wont need to shave application area but as someone posted above WATCH THE VIDS ON YOUTUBE! Many different applications for different types of injuries. Awesome stuff though!

So the only place I can use this is the palms of my hands and the soles of my feet?

Apply it wherever you want, but I'd recommend you remove hair on & around the area you want to apply it.
