Just a while ago when we were playing at Cottonwood, Fran had her knee protected with a tensor and a gentleman noticed this and asked her if she had heard of KT Tape which he was wearing. He indicated that this was quite an amazing product and much more comfortable and effective than bulky braces and tensor bandages. There are many of us who do suffer from the aches and pains of sore muscles, joints and tendons so here is the low down on this product.
KT TAPE is an elastic sports and fitness tape designed for muscle, ligament and tendon pain relief and support. It can be purchased at Shoppers Drug Mart and comes in some funky colours like Roaring Red or Laser Blue to name a few.
Whether you’re training for your first marathon, getting ready for your next game, reaching a personal fitness goal, or just trying to get through the day, you already know that nothing slows you down faster than pain and injury. KT TAPE is lightweight, comfortable to wear, and can be used for hundreds of common injuries such as lower back pain, knee pain, shin splints, carpal tunnel syndrome, and tennis elbow, just to name a few. It can also be used to treat plantar fasciitis.
KT TAPE not only looks good, but it also provides 24 hour relief per application for days at a time through sweat, strain and humidity, and can even be worn in water because of a specially designed adhesive.
KT TAPE is applied along muscles, ligaments, and tendons to provide a lightweight, external support that helps you remain active. The kit also provides detailed instructions as to how to correctly apply the product. KT Tape creates neuromuscular feedback that inhibits (relaxes) or facilitates stronger firing of muscles and tendons. This feedback creates support elements and will keep us swinging.
