Just wondered if anyone ever?does use this KT sports tape,see plenty footballers ETC wearing it and by looking online it should do the trick for my Injury,symptoms,Lot less bulky than the 661 or TLD wrist guards you can buy,
or am i looking at the wrong remedy
Cheers
give it a go. You can get a 20 strip roll from Amazon for about £12. It really worked for me when I injured my knee a couple of weeks before a big run. The website is excellent with its help videos. Kttape.co.uk
I have had some good results while using it, helped relieve some bursitis in my shoulder by physically preventing the shoulder moving in the way that aggravated the bursitis.
Also think it helps relieve some recurring stiffness in my lower back, apparently taping the muscles in a certain way can promote better bloodflow and reduce spasm/tension.
However, one area it didn't really do any good was my wrist, wasn't really possible to immobilise it enough, and because of where it is the tape just kind of fell off or got rubbed off against things.
Comes under many different brands or just as Kinesiology tape. Can't do any harm, not convinced it helped me much though
P.S. Rocktape does the bestest colourways imo

Like Legend says. Get the one with the best colours. The brighter the colour the more effective it is. For the same reasons a placebo injection is more effective than a placebo tablet. 😉
