KT Tape is the newest product to arrive on the Fleet Feet Syracuse floor.  KT Tape is not your average athletic tape. It's a cotton elastic sports tape that provides comfortable support while offering pain relief from a wide range of common injuries.  KT Tape is applied along muscles, ligaments, and tendons (soft tissue) to provide a lightweight, strong, external support that helps to prevent injury and speed recovery. KT Tape works differently for different injuries.

 

KT Tape can:

- Lift and support the knee cap, holding it in place for Runner’s Knee.

- Support sagging muscles along the arch of the foot, relieving the connective tissues for Plantar’s Fasciitis.

- Lift the stress off of shin splints to allow pain release and give the body a better opportunity to recover.

- Last for multiple days at a time. It is recommended that you do not wear it for more than 5 days. KT Tape can also be worn in the pool or shower without coming off!

Depending on how it is applied, KT Tape supports, enables, or restricts soft tissue and its movement. The tape is a strong adhesive that doesn't irritate the skin or sensitive areas which means it is very comfortable to wear. For those who don't aren't recovering as well, KT Tape promotes circulation for pain relief and a faster recovery as well as a better range of motion and endurance! To see how KT Tape is applied to different parts of the body check out their website.

KT Tape comes as 20 easy-to-use precut strips in each box and reatails for $13.00. Fleet Feet Syracuse will be carrying them in four different colors: Black, Nude (tan), Blue and Pink.

Just last year, KT Tape was featured in the Wall Street Journal.
