Kineseo tape - works very well for me May 17, 2010
The kineseo tape seems to do just what it claims. I am a 63-year old jogger (usually 4-6 miles at a time three times a week, occasionally longer) with very imperfect biomechanics and have had persistently tender knees for a long time. I began using the kineseo tape in place of Cho-Pat straps on my knees to provide some tension on the ligament just below the patella. It seems to achieve the same effect as the Cho-Pat without the constricting band across the back of the knee. Since using the kineseo taping, my knees have been quite tolerable and generally free of any appreciable soreness. I even completed a marathon two weeks age. It was run pretty slowly but without any noticeable soreness either during or after the marathon. I was back to my normal jogging three days after the marathon without any unusual aches. How much of that is a result of the taping, I cannot be certain, but I feel it definitely makes a big difference in my case. I found that the black-colored tape seems to adhere better on sweaty or rainy days, so that is what I have been using. I remain a little self-conscious about being the jogging geezer with visible black stripes on his knees, but they seem to work too well to worry about the cosmetics.
I'm allergic - but it worked perfectly otherwise Apr 12, 2010
I've given this tape 4 stars because it did exactly what I wanted: protected my neck from the rash I get from my triathlete wet suit (obviously while swimming in it). It stuck on very well though I should add that I washed my neck first and then wiped it with rubbing alcohol to make sure of good adhesion.
The first time I used it my neck felt like it had been sunburned - and that's what I thought it was. Today I used it in a race and it hurt like hell to pull it off and underneath my skin was very red and later turned to a perfect 2" rash around my neck.
Granted, this is not a typical use but I am disappointed that I'm allergic. Still, amazing this stuff stuck on through the continuous rubbing of a wet suit on my neck in water.
 Excellent product Mar 21, 2010
I have been using this product for years because of multiple arthritic ailments. Amazon has the best price for this product esp. with the Prime membership.

 Kinesio tape Jan 25, 2010
I'm not happy with the product that I got from amazon. I ordered black kinesio tape and recieved red instead. I wanted black. The only reason I give it a 2 rating instead of a 1, is that I got the tape 4 days before the expected delivery date. I don't know if I will by tape from here again, because I want/need black tape, because it is stronger than the color tape. Can I trust that I will get the correct order the next time I order from here? Thank you.
Does what it's supposed to Nov 03, 2009
I found this product useful in treating minor overuse injuries in my feet and legs. It certainly seems like it helps improve recovery time and aids injured areas. It stays on fairly well--you can shower, swim, and even apply ice cups right over it. However, it's not a miracle, and it's not an instant fix. Remember, each application is supposed to stay on for about 5 days. If you have a serious injury, it's not going to allow you to compete injury-free, nor will it cure a long-lasting chronic injury permanently. It is a very good recovery aid, but you still have to address the cause of your original injury. I have less experience using kinesio tape on acute injuries (sprains, bruises, and the like) since my sport (distance running) involves relatively few, so I can't comment on the manufacturer's claim that it can reduce swelling and edema.
