Does knee taping actually work?

[marroonrider]

as a clinical massage therapist, kenisotape literally reinforces weak tendons and ligaments, stabilizing the joint

[leetheleef]

KT works to helps my joints to stop slipping out of place. It most definitely works.

I am recovering from an overuse injury to do with my fat pad and patella tendon. Taping has done wonders for the recovery process and movement

[BreeCrutch]

Ummm sir, depending on the injury, tape can reduce pain IMMEDIATELY.

YES IT ACTUALLY WORKS.

[headscrewedonright]

Yes it works! KT is my go to for my knees I run every day. You just have to apply it correctly.

Ive had almost every knee injury! 💯 % kinesiology tape works (have to tape properly, per injury) I ain’t heading out without that and my finger tape lol

[emtr]

If you are saying it doesn't work, you don't know what you are saying

[TimRHillard]

I don’t know exactly why, but it does help with old knees suffering from knee strain. It doesn’t cure anything but it makes it noticeably better.

[differenceofexistence]

It totally works. I have a damaged MCL. I loaded and unloaded a moving truck for 4 days with my knee taped and never had a twinge of pain. An emphatic YES, it absolutely works.

[GoldenWeavile]

Respectfully disagree but thank you for sharing.

I've been using KT Tape for 10 years... I am never without it!!

KT tape is a proprioceptive tape. Structurally it doesn’t do all that much but it helps the body focus on the stabilization of the area.

K tape helped my meniscus tear! Better than a brace!

[joannebrown]

It takes some.of the strain off injured, weak or inflamed.tendons and ligaments helping them to heal.

[susielainemarble]

It works and helps pain for me. A pro Physical Therapist is needed to learn the technique of taping.

[hockeysmash]

When done properly kinesiology taping does work. You’re putting out incorrect information.

I had lump on outside calf. Saw multiple doctors, PT. It pressed on nerve. Diagnosed as a HERNIATED muscle. After morecthan a year of pain, I used kinesiology tape and heat. In several months the lump shrunk and no more pain. Now when doing strenuous work, I tape up!

[kaystar]

It does work. I used it for the first time today at the gym and i was definitely more able to do my workout without the pain stopping me

[catcolb]

I use it to prevent ankle sprains, and have had physical therapists recommend it for my knees, as well as for shoulder and neck pain. If applied correctly, it helps with both pain and stability. I have hypermobilty in all my joints, so the tape has been very helpful for me.

[gatorclown]

For hypermobile joints it’s like actual heaven!
