What is KT Tape?
KT Tape is the leading kinesiology tape brand specializing in athletic support, injury prevention, and muscle recovery solutions for active individuals and professional athletes.
Founded in Utah in 2008 by Greg Venner, the brand revolutionized the market as the world's first manufacturer of 100% synthetic kinesiology tape.

Their products are used by professional sports teams across major leagues and are HSA/FSA approved, latex-free, and dermatologist tested for safe athletic use.
How does KT Tape kinesiology tape work?
KT Tape kinesiology tape works by providing structural support to muscles and joints while maintaining natural range of motion during athletic activities.
The tape's elastic properties help promote proper muscle function and blood flow when applied correctly to the skin.
KT Tape's synthetic microfiber construction offers superior durability and can stay applied for up to 7 days through sweat and water exposure.
The tape comes in precut 10-inch strips for convenience or uncut rolls for professional customization.
Each product includes application guides and educational resources to help users achieve optimal placement for their specific needs.
What is the best KT Tape product for extreme sports?

The product maintains the same flexibility as other KT Tape varieties while delivering maximum adhesion strength.
KT Tape vs RockTape - what's the difference?
KT Tape distinguishes itself from RockTape primarily through its 100% synthetic microfiber construction, while RockTape uses a cotton-synthetic blend.
KT Tape was the first brand to market fully synthetic kinesiology tape, offering superior durability and adhesion longevity of up to 7 days.
KT Tape provides a more comprehensive product ecosystem including recovery tools, topical treatments, and specialized infused tapes with ingredients like lavender and magnesium.
The brand also offers more extensive educational resources and application guides.
Both brands serve professional athletes, but KT Tape's synthetic formulation typically performs better in hot, humid climates like the UAE.
How do I apply and remove KT Tape properly?
KT Tape application requires clean, dry skin for optimal adhesion.
The tape should be applied with the muscle in a stretched position, using the brand's comprehensive application guides for specific body areas.
Apply with firm pressure and rub the tape to activate the adhesive.
KT Tape can remain applied for up to 7 days and is safe for showering and swimming.
For removal, gently peel the tape in the direction of hair growth while supporting the skin.
Using warm water or oil can help ease removal.
KT Tape provides detailed video tutorials and step-by-step instructions for proper technique.
Does KT Tape offer infused therapeutic tapes?

Their product line includes lavender and magnesium infused therapeutic tape that combines the structural benefits of kinesiology tape with aromatherapy and mineral therapy elements.

Additionally, KT Tape's topical product range features 5% Arnica Montana with magnesium chloride cream that complements their tape applications for comprehensive muscle and joint support protocols.
