Unisex Kt Flex Knee Support Pro Synthetic Tape, Blue, 10 UK

I bought this KT Flex to support my knee whilst skiing replacing the use of a knee brace. A bit of background... I have a couple of old injuries on my knee that require support - ACL tear and missing cartilage (bucket handle tear has been removed). I have previously used wrap-around knee braces and found that using a brace, my knee develops a baker's cyst as well as my calf swelling (presumably due to the brace restricting normal blood flow) leaving me with pain in the knee and calf to ski with! I have been using the brace for years. Not ideal but it seemed to work to some affect. Fed up with the swelling and pain previously experienced (and I started a good exercise routine for developing my overall strength and fitness levels), this year I decided to look for an alternative knee support solution looking into using KT Tape and found the KT Flex. Reading up on this, it made me feel that I should give this a go. I'm so glad I did! No more calf swelling, no baker's cyst and the KT Flex gave me the level of support that I needed to enjoy my ski holiday! I'm sure my exercise routine had some affect too! Now, about using the KT Flex...I read some reviews and found that the best advice was about making sure that you follow the instructions AND to make sure that there are no hairs on where you apply it (I use an epi-lady) and CLEAN your already cleaned skin with rubbing alcohol to get rid of any oils (70% maximum only to get it in your luggage on a plane) immediately prior to applying. So, how long did they stay on? I found that the first set lasted for 2 days (having put them on the night before needed) and the second set I applied on the morning just prior to hitting the slopes lasted for 4 days! They lasted beyond the time I expected them to - very pleased! Only one issue - the box and instructions it came in from Amazon were not in English. I got around this by looking on the KT website. Good videos available there as well as the standard instructions for the KT Flex. I would definitely use the KT Flex in future!

Good but will not last long

The idea is a good one, but the plastic breaks easily and ends up not being as supportive as it could be. Product could be improved if there was one plactic rib with a metal core (to add flexibility and strength), with strips you can add the rib too like a refill (reduce waste).

Used for skiing. Was concerned that a twinge in the side and back of my knee felt that I might twist. The tape definitely gave me support and therefore confidence.

The part with the “plastic bone” is a waste of time. Have tried every way to make them stay on but no matter what I do they always come in stuck at the bottom end The ordinary tape side works but the other side doesn’t last a day. Waste of money

I could feel it doing the job but not sure if it was due to running at -2C/5C that they just kept coming unstuck even on a shaved leg( don't get this with normal KT). So being it turns each run into almost £5 not sure they are worth it better to use tape and a reuseable brace.

This tape is great at supporting your knee and reducing pain until you recover.

Ran the NYC Marathon with this, kept my knee in place and less pain than without.

ovviamente questo prodotto da un pò fastidio dovuto alla sua rigidità interna, ma serve proprio al suo scopo, lo ricomprerei.

This is fantastic, I can now walk around comfortably, I’ll need more!

Très mauvaise adhésion et déçue du vendeur qui Indique remplacer le produit mais ne l’a jamais envoyé

Idee gut, hält aber überhaupt nicht auf der Haut! Ging gleich bei der geringsten Bewegung wieder ab. Sehr schade. X

Todo muy bien, conforme a lo anunciado
