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

The first time my physical trainer told me she was going to tape my foot for bunion relief, I thought she was selling me some Harry Potter nonsense. One application and the pain relief was instantaneous. She taught my fiancé the proper technique to apply it and I stopped using my orthotics that was just causing me additional pain without relieving the symptom. This has kept me on my feet and able to keep exercising. Make sure you know the proper application and it works!!

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!:)

I first want to state that I love this tape! It does everything I was told it would do, everything it advertises, and is fantastic. I purchased it to help manage my growing belly weight as I get more and more pregnant carrying our first child. I loved that I could wear it for three or more days comfortably, sleep in it, work in it, and did not feel hampered or agitated the way I feel using a belly band. I even took a shower in it. The corners where I cut the tape did start to peel after a day or two but I just trimmed them down so they wouldn't be annoying, it did not stop from the product from working.My one complaint, or rather, my sadness is that the adhesive does not seem to agree with my skin. I've always had sensitive skin so when I did the test strip and had no problems I was delighted and started to use the tape regularly. My first box did not have any adverse reactions. My second box, however, left a minor pink burn when I removed the tape. At first I thought it was the natural pinkness that happens when you're ripping a band-aid off (we've all been there) but then a day, two days, three days later I can still see the wavy design of the adhesive in my skin. It was no longer pink but clearly a new feature on my flesh that I did not have with the first box of tape. So, sadly, I have discontinued using my second box after this so I don't continue to annoy my skin. Was it a horrible, painful problem? No, not really. I was itchy and sensitive for about 48-72 hours after removal of the tape. I'm just avoiding it to be safe.Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy this tape! It is really amazing! I wish I was not so sensitive to it.

As a massage therapist specializing in bodywork, I am using my arms all day long in a way that requires stability and strength. I recently strained my rotator cuff and needed something that would help give my shoulder some stability and support while I worked without restricting my mobility. I have used other brands of kinesio tape in the past and it usually stays on anywhere from 24 hours to 3 days. This is the first time I tried the Spartan tape and I am impressed! I am currently on day 7 with this tape on my shoulder with no sign it's going to come off any time soon. I have had continuous support throughout all my day time activities as well as sleeping at night. This tape still allows my to move through my full range of motion while I rehab my shoulder and work. Even with it getting wet in the shower every day, it has stayed in place without any problem.I applied this tape to dry skin, rubbed over the tape on my skin to really warm up the adhesive, and kept my shoulder warm by wearing a sweatshirt for an hour after the tape was applied. If the tape doesn't hold up as well for you, it might be the way it was applied. Some suggestions...clean dry skin, shave area of needed, do not have any lotion etc on your skin, and warm the adhesive a bit after it's been applied.Another concern I often have is that my skin can be sensitive to adhesives - itching, redness, welts. There has been no sign of any irritation with Spartan tape. It's easy to apply and comfortable to wear. My skin does great with it.Now I am not a swimmer and even when working out I don't tend to sweat heavily so I can't speak to how this tape would hold up in those conditions. But for help with stability throughout my workday, while rehabbing my shoulder, light/moderate sweating, and showering every day, it has held up great. I'm impressed and will continue to use Spartan tape for my personal care and client care.

Sticks very well.

Protege la zona dañada y tiene buena adhesión. Puede durar varios días pegada

Wirkt zunächst wie anderes Tape auch. Erweist sich aber sehr schnell als minderwertig . Ränder rollen sich ein, bereits nach einer Dusche klebt es nicht mehr.

c'est très efficace pour maintenir un organe en place (un genou par ex) et ça tiens bien et ça s'enlève sans soucis aussi.je recommande

Ich war leider nicht zufrieden. Nach einer anfänglich hochwertigen und teuren genutzten Marke fand ich dieses Produkt günstig, aber es klebte einfach nicht so gut und insbesondere die rundgeschnittenen enden lösten sich schnell.Die zwei Sterne gibt es für den Preis. Leider zu hoher Verschleiß.
