Great idea - not effective

This product comes off as a great idea and seems as though it could serve a great purpose, but the purpose of taping is to limit certain movements and provide support. The support that joints and injuries may need cannot be supported nearly as well athletic tapes with more stiffness. Not to mention this product is much more costly.

I have limited range of motion of my arm, shoulder and back on my right side due to a shoulder injury. I purchased this tape to help support the tendons in my shoulder/back to make running more comfortable for a race I was preparing for. It was a great price, and I love the instructional videos online make it really easy to understand how it works and how to use it. It definitely made a difference in my training because I had less pain. Unfortunately however, due to my limited range of motion in my arm, I was unable to put the KT tape on myself (and often unable to take it off myself either). This was frustrating and extremely inconvenient because It meant I had to rely on someone else and wait on someone else in order to train. For this reason, I see this being more beneficial for someone who doesn't have range of motion issues.
