Mueller Sports Medicine Kinesiology Tape Pre-Cut Strips

Here's my experience with kinesiology tape: while in the midst of rehabbing from a knee replacement, I thought I might try some support tape to help with the pain during and after physical therapy, and to assist with mobility and proper alignment. While at a chain off-price retailer, I spotted a box of KT tape that was marked at a significant discount to what I had noted it sold for where I normally shop. So I thought I'd give it a try, and it helped. When I needed a second box, however, I couldn't find it at the same store, but instead found a box of Mueller tape, so I bought it instead. I think the Mueller tape is considerably better, as others here have noted. For one thing, it stretches better and stays put better. The support is great; although I will note that I don't use the knee-taping technique in the Mueller instructions, I still use the KT- method, which I just find easier. I think the difference with the Mueller tape is you will notice a wavy-line pattern on the adhesive side of the tape, which I think makes it stay on better. It is very comfortable once on; I'm wearing it right now as I type this, and I don't even feel it. I don't leave it on more than one day; I'd rather remove it to shower and put on fresh tape the next day, so I don't wear it at night, although I suppose you could. I tried wearing it once when I went lap-swimming, but it started coming off after a few laps, so I can't recommend it for that. But otherwise, it's been very helpful for me. It can be a little tough to remove (like a stuck-on band-aid), and being female, I shave my legs. So I imagine guys would want to shave before using this anywhere they have much body hair. I should also note that Mueller is a more cost-effective product than the KT brand, in my experience.

It works VERY well on my knees (patellar tracking issues). Greatly reduced pain and flexible enough to do the activities I love. I find it sticks well and lasts 3-4 days, even with showers and hard physical activity. The only thing that really reduces adhesion is bug spray. If it's not sticking well for you: prepare the skin by wiping thoroughly with alcohol. Then use a "Skin Prep" wipe to apply adhesive and protect the skin. Let dry a few seconds before applying the Mueller tape. Skin Prep is intended to create an adhesive bond with the application and protect the skin. When removing, start with a corner that's coming loose. Use a "Uni-Solve" pad to gradually soak the tape off, then if you are going to reapply the Mueller tape, clean thoroughly with alcohol, then use "Skin Prep" again. I learned this method of adhering when I had a medical port that required dressing changes. Both "Skin Prep" and "Uni-Solve" are available here on Amazon, and I also suggest getting large size alcohol wipes. In addition, I have also cut small squares of Mueller tape that I put on over edges that come loose as I'm biking, etc. It's worth all this trouble--and it's also worth the questions and stares I get from people about the tape on my knees. Life is short, I want to do things.

This stuff is the best kinesio tape for the price. I use to buy KT tape ($20+ a roll) because it comes in fun colors and had a reputation for staying on for extended period of time, even during swimming. but that stuff doesn't even come close to this. - First off I can find this at any Walgreens when I run out, which is great if I need it right away. - Second, the adhesive unbelievable. I wipe down the parts to be taped with alcohol, apply the tape, and rub it in to make sure it adheres. The ends never fray or start rolling off like they do with KT tape. - Third, it stays put for a LONG time. I think the longest I've worn the tape is 10 consecutive days and it didn't budge once. I shower with the tape on, being careful about not getting soap on the tape, and it dries within minutes after I'm out. - Fourth, the price is ridiculous compared to the competitors. Its affordable and the roll lasts a decent amount of time because I don't have to keep re-applying it. Kinesio tape is amazing stuff if you know what you're doing (I learned how to apply it by watching a lot of youtube videos) and it can provide instant relief form pain. I highly recommend this.

My chiropractor alerted me to this tape when I had a painful muscle/tendon issue in my wrist. Apparently it draws the blood to the area for greater healing. Obviously I have no idea whether my injury would have healed at the same rate without the tape, but it didn't make the area feel warm, kind of like a light burning sensation. It didn't bother me, but I knew it was there. For informational purposes, the tape usually last a 2 or 3 days, depending on your shower schedule etc. You need to shave any hair from the region your placing it or it won't stick. There also will be a heavy glue residue left behind that you practically need a chisel to get off.

My physical therapist used this stuff for my tendonitis and I loved it. When I developed tendonitis in my other hand and had a bad flare up in both hands, I immediately thought of this stuff and placed an order. I recognize Mueller over the other brands since I have some of their hand braces. I'm not sure how this compares to other brands, but I'm happy with it. The tape helps improve circulation in sore areas and gives me a break from the brace at night (my fingers go numb when I sleep with a full brace on vs the tape which is much more comfortable). During the day, I just wear the brace over the tape. It's not sticking as well as whatever brand my PT used, which lasted 3 days before having to be reapplied, but I get a full day-to two days in it. It's hot and humid here tho, so that might be why it's not sticking as well. Great product tho, and I'll be ordering more!

This tape is the best one I have found for sticking & keeping the pressure. Plus cutting your own strips allows you to use it properly for all injuries.

Purchased it over the other cheaper options because it was recommended by my physio. But to our surprise, the tape did not stick at all. Really bad quality glue. Not worth the money at all. Would definitely NOT recommend it for anyone rookies or pros. Go for the cheaper ones or if you can afford it - rock tape.

It helps

Il prodotto era in scadenza a fine 2017 e tramite email mi hanno chiesto se volessi proseguire l acquisto... ho accettato perche ne avevo bisogno con un aggiunta 2 rotoli gratis( sempre in scadenza però 😮).... complessivamente professionali

Mueller siempre es calidad y la mejor marca en cintas kinesiológicas. El precio de amazon fue el más bajo que encontré además.
