Dynamic Tape Original | Biomechanical Adhesive Tape | Physio Tape for Knee, Ankle, Shoulder, Leg, Muscle Support | Sports Tape for Football, Rugby, Ideal for Athletes | Beige & Beige - 2" (101' Roll)

Pain relief.

I have very, very week connective tissue in my ankles and feet. After 20 years of sports injuries I have had 3 lankle surgeries, including replacement with a cadaver tendon. That being said I was looking for an alternative to the PT braces. I have tried this tape and the black tape. The support of this "2nd strongest" tape provides effective stability and movement support. The tape adheres nicely and last me about 3-4 days between changes. It handles the run-off soap and the water of a show without a problem. For my situation, I do prefer the black tape if I do things outside that will require my ankles to work better. This mid-strength tape is nice for me in an everyday environment. I really appreciate the comfort and support over my braces, especially at night to keep from turning my ankles in.. But, as I said, if I need to really rely on my ankles I use the black tape. It's unfortunate that it doesn't come in bulk, that would be less expensive for me.

I work with clients suffering from all types of injuries, and can't say enough about this tape. I've used all the top brands, and dynamic tape is always the winner with my clients. It feels better (more like skin), is less irritating, and stays on longer than any other brands I've used. Buy it!

I like the design and latex texture. Not anymore hypo allergenic than any of these other brands. Still will irritate or blister my skin if I leave on longer than a day.

Good stuff. Very smooth. Doesn't hurt the skin

When I saw this product was available to try, I assumed there's "nothing to it" & that it would help me with some of my issues- but to really get the best results from this, I highly recommend learning how to use it properly first, because making some "little mistakes" can make a big difference in your satisfaction & success. In a perfect world, have your physical therapist demonstrate, but there are easy to find videos online too. In case you're new to sports taping, there are various kinds of tapes- the older types are designed to restrict your motion & limit pain while healing- but this "dynamic" tape actually allows full range of motion with 4 way stretch. It has a strong recoil that takes a load off tendons & muscles- it supports & assists movement but in a controlled way, & is the least restrictive type of sports tape. I find it very comfortable- in fact, once it was applied I wasn't aware of it at all, except that it lessened my knee pain. From what I've read, if you apply it incorrectly, it shouldn't "hurt anything" but it won't be effective either. I knew about creating un-stretched endpoints when applying it (about 3" wide) but on my first application, I failed to press & hold it down for 30-60 seconds on each end, as shown in a video I later found- with the result being that the ends didn't stick very well, though the middle part did. Now I know better, & just a few tips can make a big difference. Turns out, the longer you hold it, the better the adhesion, especially if you cross 2 tapes one over the other, you need to hold down that crossing point also- not just the ends. And then rub over the whole tape a bit more after application. This tape is designed to stay on through showers or swimming, & even for some days when it's correctly applied. There's also a bit to know about removing it- that is one way you could hurt your skin if you do it wrong- you don't just yank it off. I've had no bad effects from using the tape, or from removing it, so I'm very glad this is a big roll as I've several areas to work on, now that I'm getting the hang of it. Incidentally, I did first discuss using this with my doctor & they approved. And so far, I'm positively impressed with it.

This tape has good adhesion and is still easy to remove. It offers support for injuries and other muscular issues during workouts. It has good stretch and hold, and doesn't cause skin irritation. It lasts a few days even when it gets wet.
