KT Tape is applied along muscles, ligaments, and tendons to provide a lightweight, external support that helps you remain active while recovering from injuries. KT Tape creates neuromuscular feedback that inhibits or facilitates stronger firing of muscles and tendons. KT Tape can be used for hundreds of common injuries such as lower back pain, knee & elbow pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, & shin splints. Tapings usually last 3 to 5 days.
