      @@SuhailkcOfficial it helps but u MUST get the correct type. I got the cotton type at first and they dont stay on for long, if u sweat or shower, they will come off very easily. But i saw KT tape sells the “extreme” type thats water proof and stays on much better even if u run or workout

    I got the precut KT tape in the color pink. It was $10 at the grocery store. I somehow pulled a muscle in the bend of my elbow crease. I do not know how because it was so fast that it happened. I had to cut the tape because it was too long for my arm. I put the tape at the start of my muscle pain and ran the tape down my arm to my wrist. Because my instructions in the box didn’t say anything about arms. So I looked at the human diagram of the different places to put the tape. Online says can leave on for 3-5 days depending on the placement of the tape. I never used KT tape before so I don’t really know how it works.

    Me and my girlfriend was extremely sceptical.
    But fact of the matter is, for us, it helps.
    It support the tired out muscle strains, and lower the pain.
    The Way we use it (remember to do your own research) is to 80% stretch the tape over the muscle tendons that needs support.
    Remember to Apply it in a Way that follow the muscles normal movement patterns, so you dont Strain the muscles further.
    Also remember to supplement with a healthy protein rich diet, rest and physical therapy to get your muscles, tendons and bones back in fighting shape.

    KT Tape does help support my knees when I run. It helps control the movement of the joint and the kneecap movements. KT tape alone is not a complete answer to joint pain. You have to stretch and exercise the joints and muscles and allow enough time for recovery. For example, at my age, I allow one- or two-days recovery time after a running day. You also have to eat right and rest and listen to your body. Never force a workout through pain or you will make things worse. But I have found that KT tape is a must when I run.
