great deal August 29, 2010
Barbara A. Acosta (Hauppauge, NY United States)
I went directly to the company to buy this and one of the colors my daughter wanted was out out stock so the rolls would be back-ordered for a month. I wound up getting the Kinesio tape here at Amazon for $12 less and the shipping was free. Kinesio tape, for all it's oddness is a wonder. My daughter has to use this in conjunction with physical therapy to re-train the muscles in her legs. She's had much less pain and zero swelling since this product was incorporated into her daily therapy.

Best product I've found yet! August 11, 2010
Nevermore
I discovered Kinesiotape through an ad online, and after some research, decided it was worth a try. It is definitely worth a try and worth the money! I have multiple joint injuries which cause recurring problems, and this tape works wonders! For years I have used braces, Ace bandages, and standard athletic tape, but they all have their drawbacks--braces and elastic bandages restrict circulation and movement, and standard athletic tape immobilizes the affected area, which is fine for an initial injury, but for a re-injury or chronic condition, it can hinder healing by preventing muscles and ligaments from gaining strength. Kinesiotape flexes with your muscles, and if applied correctly, it doesn't wrinkle and bunch. It provides much more support than it would appear from the way it is applied (along the muscle fiber, not a "figure eight" around the joint) It also appears to aid in circulation and reduce swelling as claimed, and it helps get my knee and ankle back in line when they have been locking up.

That said, it is a MUST to learn to apply the tape correctly, either from a chiropractor, physical therapist, or from the many online demonstration videos, if you are able to learn in that way. I can see how incorrectly applied tape could do nothing for a condition, or give a sense of false security. There is certainly an element of trial and error, but I think a good starting point is essential. It also helps to have an understanding of how your body works, how your muscles and ligaments operate, and how your condition disrupts that operation.
For anyone willing to take the time to learn the correct application, or for professionals looking for additional ways to help their clients/patients, I would definitely recommend this product!

Impressive performance! August 10, 2010
Forever 29 (Walla Walla, WA USA)
Since another reviewer said that the black Kinesio Tape seemed to adhere better than the beige, I ordered one roll of each. I really didn't notice any difference between them. The trick is to be absolutely clean, dry and shaved before application. A little sweat can make a big difference initially. Any sweat after application was not a problem, and neither was showering. I found that if the tape had already been on for 2 days and I was swimming vigorously it would start to come off.
I have been using it for shoulder instability (after dislocation), and to my surprise it really makes a significant difference both in comfort and in functionality. I've also been using it for calf / ankle / foot swelling (after a crush injury to the leg) and I was pleased to find that I can go all day without using an Ace wrap. For a treatment I thought was probably voodoo and placebo effect I have been absolutely astounded by its undeniable effectiveness!

I thought this would likely be placebo at best, August 3, 2010
Some Guy
but I was pleasantly surprised. When my back pain got so terrible that every small iota of relief counted big I was ready to try anything.

So I gave kinesio a try and this is what I found:

It gives you a constant 'cooling' sensation on the muscles taped - so it feels kind of like you've got a fan on those exact spots. A little strange.

In and of itself the cool sensation isn't pain-relieving or particularly unpleasant or pleasant for that matter, but interestingly after wearing the tape for a little while, the area just feels stronger.

I can't tell if it's because the tape is "lifting the skin" such that oxygen can reach the area better and "lymph tissue can drain better," as the advertisements say, or if it's because the tape is bracing or aligning the area, or whatnot - but it definitely feels better.

It's as if the act of taping it gives your muscles a counterforce to play off of, if that makes sense.

Anyhow, I don't know exactly how the product works, other than that it's not merely placebo. Don't expect it to save you from a burning building, but it's certainly not useless or a total sham as it may appear.
