I swear by both of them. My right leg and knee are relatively pain free as a result. My left knee was replaced 3 years ago and I am hoping to avoid the same procedure on my right knee. So far so good. By the way, I remove the tape while in the shower, working it off while applying creme rinse to the area. It works pretty well.

I've never been hurting badly enough to think that I needed to wait 1+ hours to have it done - so I'm glad my wait there was 15 minutes or so. :) Looking forward to more. And YES THE COLORS.

So far, so good. I'm a believer after making it thru my last marathon. I too cringe when I take it off.

It's done in a wave-like pattern on the back of the tape that encourages blood flow and pulls away your blood flow from tired muscles, thus relieving the muscle ache you feel, or shin splits, or what have you. <br /><br />My knee certainly didn't hurt after the half. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18444420379270376225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685563959731209847.post-31276367594381565012013-03-22T11:25:25.602-05:002013-03-22T11:25:25.602-05:00I'm still not sure what KT tape is supposed to...I'm still not sure what KT tape is supposed to actually <em>do</em>... is it not just a bandage or an elastic wrap?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685563959731209847.post-74713906685097254102013-03-22T09:58:04.010-05:002013-03-22T09:58:04.010-05:00I think I'm becoming more and more sold.
