5.0 out of 5 stars I bought and now I'm sold.
Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2016
Color: Pink (2 Pack + eGuide)Verified Purchase
I bought this tape out of a minor sense of desperation. After bilateral Acheilies tendon repairs, getting some relief from plantar fasciitis in both feet from shoe inserts, my remaining hurdle for an upcoming 10K was shin splints in both legs. I'm not sure if I should be down from my list of physical woes or be proud of my symmetry.

After researching my list of options to help get me through my 10K, which I'm determined to finish (it has a predetermined time by which the course must be completed) with some quick walking, I decided taping was a viable and quick thing to try. After researching tape, I found Physix Gear Sport.

I have suffered with shin splint flair ups since I was 18 years old. I am now 61 and had my Acheilies repaired in 2014. The years leading up to the surgeries left me fairly idle with resultant weight gain. So walking is a joy for me and a necessity to try to return to some state of better health. Now that you have some history you might have some sort of perspective for my review.

Once the tape arrived, I took what YouTube advice I had and taped both legs for shin splints for the outer portion on the shins. I had recently aggravated both legs but need to keep up training for the upcoming 10K. I wore the tape for two days without training so that I could give some support to the muscles while they rested. On the third day, I did 2.44 miles in 31 minutes. I had a mild warming in the right shin but I had no pain in either leg. NO PAIN. I consider this a personal victory and attributed to the Physix Gear Sport tape. I have no doubt that both legs would have flaired up again without it.

I am totally satisfied with the performance of the tape, especially given my minimal knowledge of how to effectively tape. YouTube and this tape will make my 10K completion possible.

The tape was worn for three days and I showered with it. It adhered and performed flawlessly. I have a mild topical-adhesive reaction and, after three days, one small area reacted. It was an area smaller than a dime and it was the only area with all the tape that I used. Totally acceptable, in my book. I'll just apply it for use and remove it afterward. Easy peesy. I'm so happy to have bought this tape because now I'm sold.

4.0 out of 5 stars Comes Off Easily in Water & When Contacting Other Surface Materials
Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2017
Color: Beige Nude (2 Pack + eGuide)Verified Purchase
I'm going to preface this by saying if you are dealing with a new injury, you should chat with your doctor about what you're doing and planning on using this with. This is one of those "do what I say and not what I do" moments. Because I know sometimes life doesn't give you the best choices, and you have to make do and make it through regardless of what is going on with you, I do think this *can* be a useful product. I purchased it because my Achilles tendon is pretty much junk. The last surgeon who worked on it told me I should take up swimming. Hopefully you're a better listener then I am ;) But anyways, life handed me a set of circumstances I can't really get around- namely, an amazing special needs son who has extensive care needs that requires strength training to provide the best support for. Then my daughter said she wanted me to do a 5K with her, and there is no way I could tell her I wouldn't. Because if I take risks for him, I have to take risks for her, I just do the best I can to moderate them, which is I'm sure why you're interested in this product as well. So the 5K training is actually what I purchased this product for, but I have tried it for many different uses in and out of water over the past couple of weeks and I have some things I want to pass on.

First off, this doesn't adhere terribly well over contoured areas, and it can come off pretty easily in water. I cleaned off the areas it would be applied to, scrubbing them down with alcohol even before I apply the tape. I have made sure to follow typical KT application protocol for Achilles tendonitis. It stays on well enough if you're wearing a sock over it, but the edges can roll up if edges of your leggings or socks rub up against them. Today I did strength training bare foot with this stuff, and it was rolling up on the part that was on the under side of my foot just from catching on flooring. I have taken it into the pool to do therapy work with my son, and it was most of the way off and totally flopping off my foot by the time I was out...and I wear a full body swim suite that has an ankle strap, so it was even supported and protected a bit from the drag of the water against it as I moved. It will make it mostly through a shower, but enough of it will be peeling off that I will just finish the job because it's of little use at that point.

When we first started the 5K training, my motto for her was we are training you to complete not compete, so we started just walking a mile, then walking 2, so I wasn't seeing heavy impact, and I did notice that it did help my tendon feel less cranky afterwards. Now that we are up to interval training for her where we jog a little bit and then walk a bit, I'm noticing that it does keep it from being as cranky as it would be without it for that activity. Because I forgot to put some on before my job last night, and let's just say my tendon woke up this morning feeling like an angry toddler.

Now, from what I've looked at, studies don't really support the therapeutic benefits of this, some researchers ascribe the benefits to the placebo effect, but...you know, pain is always subjective and that really makes it hard to I think provide any sort of meaningful analysis, just my opinion on that though. Because the type of people who use this product successfully are probably the "soldier through it" types that would grit their teeth and get it done regardless. I personally felt like it did add an extra bit of support and relief while it stayed on, but I have yet to make it through a single day without it coming off before the day is done. Some activities hasten the demise of it considerably.

So I don't have experience with other brands of Kinesiology Tape to compare this to, all I can say is that in my experience, this comes up easier with things rubbing up against it, it doesn't stick well to some curved areas, it comes off really easy in pool water, and it may not make it through your shower or your bath. But I do feel like when I'm using it for the 5K training stuff my ankle is noticeably less grumpy afterwards, and that's mainly what I wanted it for, but I do think it's not enduring as well as this type of product is marketed to generally. And again, yes, I know I shouldn't be jogging with my Achilles tendonitis, but chances are you shouldn't be doing whatever you're doing either, so we'll just cut each other some slack because we both know we're doing the best we can with what we've got to work with. Just heads up on the coming off bit for this tape...

The tape has been a big relief for endurance running. I have been experiencing runners knee (ITBS) and just used the tape for a 35km run yesterday. The pain the next morning is much more tolerable & thanks to the tape I am able to recover much faster than before. Due to the high levels of sweat & part of me knee that still had some hair on it, I experienced some adhesion issues, although I'll be sure to fix that for next time. Overall great product!
