Sparthos Kinesiology Tape - Incredible Support for Athletic Sports and Recovery - Free Kinesiology Taping Guide! - Uncut 2 inch x 16.4 feet Roll

I was having pain in my foot, a plantar fasciitis type of thing, but no doctor I went to could figure out what was causing it or how to successfully treat it since there are so many different places it can be with so many bones and ligaments in the foot . My chiropractor even adjusted it but it didn't help. Then I heard about this tape and what it actually does...it lifts the skin microscopically so oxygen can get to the injury easier and heal it, and many athletes use it because they can heal while staying active in the sports. I watched videos on you tube that explained how to wrap my foot so I did as they said for 5 months and the pain is GONE!!!!! IT WORKS!!!!! GET IT!!!!! As far as it not being the original K-tape, I read reviews and one said that it holds better than the original!

Consistency is one or the most important qualities we strive for in life. Consistency as it is defined and hoped for in health, love, finances and happiness; as well as in the strength, flexibility, durability and the price we pay for the things we grow to depend on, to like and love. In the products we choose, we also hope to save a buck of two here and there. But how practical that is when every time you purchase the same product, reminisces playing the Russian roulette?I've used Spartan Tape for quite a while now. This is the very first brand I ever purchased. My very first impression was its fair price compared to other similar products along with satisfied customer reviews. Upon deriving great benefits throughout my trial and error usage, it motivated me to seek and learn everything I could about its origin and proper usage techniques as well as basic anatomy, physiology and kinesiology. As we know by trial and error in life itself, there is a proper way and technique to achieve everything we seek; so as to Kinesiology taping. Spartan Tape is thoughtful enough to provide a booklet to introduce new customers to the basic techniques of Kinesiology Tape usage. As basic as it may look, I strongly encourage you to read through, apply and experiment everything you find in it. The most basic but vital essential pointers you'll find in page 3:#1 - Wash and shave your skin - so the glue on the tape better adheres to your skin, and then when taking it off you won't screaming (or crying) ...#2 - Round the corners, so the tape won't accidentally get caught on your cloth or else.#3 - No stretch on the anchors - probably most important for performance & usage durability. I personally found it is best to at least use one inch on ends as anchors (absolutely no less).#4 - Activate tape by rubbing - another must do or the tape will not optimally perform. Once you place the tape on your skin as you need it, rub it to sort of create friction and make sure it is all sticking evenly. I've kept the leftover cardboard tube of a tape roll to rub and activate the tape and it works great for me.I will add a #5 - Try to sit and not exert the muscle where you place the tape for about 30 minutes. I can honesty tell you I've used Spartan Tape to recover from injuries I would probably have not ever acquired should I had been using Spartan Tape. Right now I'm recovering from a very bad shoulder injury my doctor failed to diagnose and prevent by declining to prescribe an MRI when I timely requested one. I can honestly say Spartan Tape has been one of most vital tools. With Spartan Tape I've been able to do cold/hot therapies, TENS/EMS and Ultrasound therapies, physical therapy exercises/stretches and much more without negatively impacting its performance. It has helped me enormously by providing stability to my shoulder while preserving basic mobility and usage while I continue to heal.The last thing I'll share, I've found it is easier to take off the tape when wet and under a warm shower.I'm no doctor, therapist, or professional athlete, but I do strongly recommend Spartan Tape in the aim to prevent injuries and to assist with their recovery; not only for its high consistent qualities, but also for their fair consistent price and their great discounts and sales.I'm in no way affiliated with this company nor is anyone paying me anything to do this. And absolutely NO, I'm in no way liable or responsible for anything that may happen to you should you be inspired to do anything by what I here say. With that said I conclude with my best wishes to you, and Happy Spartan Taping!:)

Love it so much I purchased 3 of them. I use this tape every time i workout. Was having pain in elbows when working out, just slap this tape on and it's like I am 18 again.

this does works.i put it on both wrists and both ankles.i need it for support.

I have bought this tape several times. It helps for aches and pains, but in this case I broke my kneecap and had surgery. This tape supports my kneecap and helps relieve pain. Easy to apply.

I got this KT tape because I was looking for an alternative for binding and honestly, the tape held up pretty well! I used it when going to the gym and even when sweating and running, it was very sturdy. However, when it came to removing it, it does hurt and tug at your skin if you don't apply oil or something to make the adhesive less sticky. Overall, the product is great for anyone looking to find a safer alternative to binding and just be careful with remove as it is hard to remove at first. Hope this helps anyone looking for some good KT tape!

Does what it should !

I use this tape on my knees to relieve pain , and it works very well — stays on when wet, holds its elasticity, and is easy to remove.

Sticks very well.

It's a lot more adhesive than others I've tried from other suppliers , it's easy to use and of good quality and feels a lot softer than others , it has a basic guide of taping guidelines and access to an online version too

Good quality kinesiology tape, got it for my husband and it worked perfectly. Excellent customer follow up from company. Recommend

I tried this product to help with back pain during pregnancy but unfortunately it caused blisters and red sore patches on my skin! I'm fine with normal plasters so would just warn if it itches or feels uncomfortable then remove straight away and don't use again!Since writing my review the company have very kindly (without me asking) refunded me for my purchase!So for great customer service I am increasing my rating from 1 star to 3 as I feel although the tape wasn't right for me the company saw fit to care about it's customers!

when I first tried it, the ends rolled alittle, but Throughout the day it never budged.It gave me the full surport I needed. Perfect.So good I then ordered the blue and black and used it for my hike from Richmond to brighton last weekend.Had it on my knees from the beginning and I never had any pain.Spartan tape is just what you need for endurance training
