 Great Relief for Whiplash Feb 22, 2010
My physical therapist had taken many measures to help relieve the tension in my neck resulting from a car accident. The Kinesio Tape has been the only thing from physical therapy that has made me feel so much better for extended periods of time. I will admit that I was a skeptic that tape could make me feel better, but an hour after application I noticed a significant difference.

Kinesio tape works great on my chest truncal lymphedema Feb 20, 2010
Kinesio tape totally improved my chest / truncal lymphedema. I had a relatively minor case, but it was bothering me and I've been working very hard to get the swelling down. My breast was hard and swollen - I have tried MLD, herbal supplements, etc and nothing has gotten the swelling under control.
My chiropractor put kinesio tape on my breast and chest area and it is amazing how much better it feels. The swelling is way down and the hardness and thickness is much reduced. He is putting this on me once a week with two pieces - one from my breast up toward my collar bone and one piece from my breast across to my right side chest. If you are suffering from lymphedema and haven't tried kinesio tape, I would highly recommend it!
Some tips if you are not going to an expert to get this applied:
* The adhesive is heat-activated. So to get it to stick well, you need to rub the tape on the skin a bit. I can get it to stay on for a week.
* Cut the tape so that each piece has a solid area at one end and then four little strips on the other end where the lymphedema is.
* Place the solid end at the terminus point and then stretch each little piece down and across the area. Make sure to rub each strip so that it stays attached.
Even Good For Bowlers Feb 03, 2010
I'm a bowler and bought this to help me hold on to the bowling ball. In the bowling pro shops they sell a product made of the same material. In the pro shops it's sized/cut to fit along your thumb to help you get a better grip on the ball... and it's much more expensive. This is the same material, but in a roll form. I just cut off several pieces and include them in my bowling bag. Works great for me.
 Did not work for me Jan 27, 2010
I bought this product to alleviate some IT Band issues I was having. My physical therapist taught me how to apply the tape and sent me on my way. I have never been able to get this product to stick for more than an hour or so. I have followed the instructions for skin prep, but as soon as I sweat the edges start to come off. This has happened with all 5 attempts I have made at using the tape whether running, cycling, or CrossFit. People swear by this stuff, but it really didn't work for me. I don't sweat any more than the average person, but perhaps I need to the super waterproof type?
