KT Tape: Runner's Knee

CHECK OUT THE NEW VERSION: bit.ly/xbCG1H
Runners Knee is a condition characterized by pain behind or around the kneecap. Poor kneecap tracking is believed to be the main cause this condition.
Runners Knee Pain is due to an irritation of the undersurface of the kneecap. The undersurface of the kneecap, or patella, is covered with a layer of smooth cartilage. This cartilage normally glides effortlessly across the knee during bending of the joint. However, in some individuals, the kneecap tends to rub against one side of the knee joint, the cartilage surface becomes irritated, and knee pain is the result.
KT Tape provides immediate relief from Runner's Knee by providing support to the patella tendons and aligning the knee cap for better tracking over the joint. The support provided is similar to a patella knee band but KT Tape is very comfortable to wear and doesn't constrict circulation, therefore not interfering with normal body mechanics.

WOW. I am happy to say I ran brace free and on sidewalk for the first time in 16 months. I am beyond amazed right now. I cant wait to try some of my old routes out. So far KT tape is working for my runners knee!!!!

[@KTTapevideos]

Absolutely- KT Tape is perfect for use in training and competitions.

@mvdragon91 The other one is a brand new technique that we will be filming in the studio soon. We think the new one is better than the original, but truthfully they both deliver great results.

@coolwhip616 you can keep KT Tape on for up to 5 days at a time- including wearing it in the shower or pool.

[@KTTapevideos]

We are almost ready to post another couple techniques for taping various knee pains and injuries that we've had great success with.

[@KTTapevideos]

That's great news! Thanks for sharing!

[@KTTapevideos]

Shaving will allow for better adhesion and less pain when removing.

[@DragonSolidSnakeNY]

There's two videos on runner's knee and one on the instructional paper that came with the tape. Which one do I use?

[@KTTapevideos]

@bardaso you gotta look harder- they ALL wear KT Tape. Gareth Bale, Beckham, Djokovic, Lee, Williams sisters are just a few recently photographed taped up.

[@panther.city.roller150]

[@kurtkobain21]

Hi! I wonder i got a knee injury for 4years ago while running at school i was planning to run 800m but after 700m i broke my ligaments the two on the sides of the knee and the one at the front of the knee. I heard like a Loud clear "POP" and i was on cruches 8 weeks and now 4years later still having trouble with the pain.I can't sport because of the pain and i am only 17. If some one can anwser i have tested kneepads and tape but dossn't help please anwser what i should do.

[@1flyhigher]

today i tryed to train but after training my knee got very swollen and hurt very badly. I just don't know what to do really.

[@galanie]

@joneberle Just seems that titling the video "runners knee" then taping for jumpers knee is a way to reinforce the misinformation you mention. Wouldn't it be better to explain the difference first?

[@killjoy445]

Thanks KT tape

[@sadihymas]
