I’m still in disbelief of how pain relieving the KT is! I broke and dislocated my elbow more than a decade ago and this is the best relief I can get from the pain and strain of my elbow. I first learned about this tape during physical therapy for tendinitis in the Achilles. This tape is wonderful!
my wife used these instructions and helped me tape my (agonizing) tennis elbow. I've tried many different tape variations and this one provided the greatest relief for me and I highly recommend to anyone the KT Pro Synthetic Tapes in pre-cut 10" strips. I feel relief!! Awesome video and thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the tape and video guys. I've been really struggling as a tiler with tennis elbow and had been lashing on Ibuprofen gel. I started with the tape 8 weeks ago and haven't used gel since and been pain free. I really didn't think tape would work so well but it does. Thanks again.
I thought the tape was a sham until I tried it! I followed your steps and all I can say is wow this stuff really works when applied correctly. Thanks for the videos
Thank God for KT tape! I use this for so many different parts of my body. LOL. I really appreciate your videos because they help me in between my physical therapy appointments. God bless you.
Thanks so much for this! Through a combination of weightlifting and guitar playing I've given myself some nice inflammation issues in my left elbow. I can't wait to see how using KT tape will help!
Your video has helped us tremendously. Thank you so much for explaining how to use the kt tape sufficiently. You explained it perfectly. Thank you again so much
I got tennis elbow for a while and was pretty terrified and depressed for about 5 - 7 weeks. Real bad stabby pain in the elbow area. My pain decreased when I did these. ICE ICE ICE. I cannot stress how impt this is. Do not apply heat! It made my pain much worse. Relax your arms. Make sure your elbows do not touch hard surface. Stretch but not too much. Do not stretch elbows over your head. I did that and it made everything super bad. I applied Voltaren which had diclofenac diethylamine. Omega 3 fish oil and sometimes Neurobion. Make sure your not allergic to the stuff I took. Hope this helps.
Thank you for your comment! You should definitely try our new Ice/Heat products! They are amazing! Here is a link to our Ice/Heat Massage Ball: www.kttape.com/kt-recovery-tm-ice-heat-massage-ball/
This should help. You won't become dependent on the tape. In fact we don't want you to have to use it forever. We want to help you heal so you can continue playing without the tape.
I recently began having serious elbow pain on the outer pointy bone of my left elbow. It was severely impacting my workouts, keyboarding and daily grabbing and carrying of bags and or backpacks. I thought it was a bruised bone, but no amount of Ibuprofen seemed to do anything for the pain and it was not getting any better.. In a last ditch effort, I bought some KT tape and came to TH-cam to see how to apply the product. There are a few Elbow videos, but the Tennis Elbow description in this video matched my pain location. It can be a little tricky to do the application by yourself, you will need to set the anchor tape end and then do the stretch and anchor the other end as described. I have serious relief finally! I can type and bend with reduced discomfort. Thanx KT, you gave me my arm back!
That's the cool thing about the tape. You can do whatever you want. Try it without the crossover piece and see if it gives you the relief you need. If it doesn't then try it with the other piece.
KT Tape Pro is made of a synthetic fiber, has a stronger adhesive and is water proof. It will stay on for a week or more. The original KT Tape is made of cotton and is water resistant and will stay on for about 3 days. If you're doing high impact, high endurance or water activities or using the tape on your feet, we recommend the Pro.
This is nice and all, but how about a video for when you don't have someone to help you apply the tape. I mean what am I supposed to do, go ask my neighbors?
Paige Junk You don't know a single person? What do you do when you need a back massage, try to bend impossibly just to do it on your damn own? Stop complaining and just ask someone.
Hello the best info that I have had was by following the Freds Elbow Helper (i found it on google) - without a doubt themost useful resource that I have ever followed.
Nick, I recommend going to our "ask an expert" forum on our website and explain in detail your particular situation. Then one of our experts can come back with a more customized application for you.
Great video content! Sorry for the intrusion, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you heard about - Parlandealey Flexible Elbow Process (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a great exclusive product for learning how to cure tennis elbow without the headache. Ive heard some super things about it and my friend at very last got astronomical results with it.
Cheers for the video content! Excuse me for butting in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you thought about - Parlandealey Flexible Elbow Process (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is an awesome one off guide for learning how to cure tennis elbow minus the headache. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my BF got cool success with it.
A lot ask how you do them by yourself. I've been doing my elbow for about 2 years by myself using the "general elbow" way and I apply the same way he did but instead of using a second hand to stretch it I just use the "anchor" part as my second hand and stretch it. The only one Iwould need help laying in this particular video is the last piece. The tape well for me. I've asked others to apply but they either make the excuse that they don't know even after watching the video or they say they don't want to mess it up so I've just made do
....RULE #1.....Shave Your Forearms Before Applying This Tape......Best to let viewers know at the Very Beginning of your application demonstration......at 4:00-minutes you finally get to this essential point.....Not Criticising.....Just Suggesting.........also to note---shaving your forearm will greatly help with self-massaging the injured elbow & forearm muscles and tendons....
Have you tried our unique Ice/Heat compression wrap yet? www.kttape.com/catalog/product/view/id/40/s/kt-recovery-ice-heat/ It's awesome for ice-after-activity. And we also now have an Ice/Heat Massage Ball: www.kttape.com/kt-recovery-ice-heat-ball
I bought a roll of this kt pro tape for tennis elbow for using this application. Followed the instructions to a tee. Within an hour i the tape started peeling. So I ended up shaving my arm thinking I may have too much arm hair same results. Tried the other way shown to apply it for tennis elbow same results. I bought the Pro because it was to last for 3 to 7 days. I cant get a half day out of it.
William, DON'T go for the electric fence option! :) If you'll go to our website (kttape . com) we have a store locator that will show you where you can get it close to you.
I wish you'd answer all of those who want to put it on themselves. I am about to try it by stick the end down with no stretch and doing the 80% stretch from there. Will that work?
excellent video, as are all your vids, but you need to describe more the positioning of the actual Elbow/Arm/Wrist. I know its clear to see, but some people would be rather strange about this.
I think I stuck the tape on a little too tightly and I don't dare to remove it for fear of it not being able to stick back again. Should I just leave it there? Its not that uncomfortable I just feel a bit of restriction in my movement.
Tennis elbow is a condition in which the person suffers medium to excruciating pain on the outer part of the elbow and forearm due to inflammation or soreness of the muscles. The condition can become serious if the treatment is not started at the right time. This condition should not be taken lightly.
I don't see how this can be applied with a bent elbow. Every time I've had tennis elbow, the pain has been below the bend, not above it! If I were to tape over the painful area, with a bend, it would have to cross the bend in my elbow. This is ridiculous.
Use Kinesio Tape. Much much better product. It's been on the market since the 70s, and it's the original. Plus it actually stays on. KT tape falls off in minutes.
Watched b/c I need a refresher for application. Watch twice more for Michaela... She's a goddess that seems down for a competitive athletic match... would probably kick my butt, depending on sport, AND look good doing so!
old videos, nevertheless. This makes nonsense of the original description as to why and how kinesio tape was invented. Kinesio tape was designed to lift the skin which allows or helps to increase blood and lymph flow to the tendons. It cannot do this if it is layered over itself, or. if it crosses normal blood flow IE taping across the arm.?????
I think I need a test subject to practice on if your athlete is available. For practice purposes only of course. Great information. Thank for the video. Lol.
Duct tape is designed for a variety of materials, but not skin, so be careful. It is not recommended to use duct tape on your skin if you want to avoid skin damage. Another shortcoming of duct tape for kinesiology is that it is not flexible and doesn't stretch. Kinesiology tape is designed to apply stretch with the skin and move with the skin so that you can retain mobility while also applying support and relief through applying tension and stretch on the skin. Very different design and application than duct tape. Use duct tape for home improvement and KT Tape for your body!
They are just called that because it’s a common injury in these sports but any one can get them they are caused by an inflammation in the tendons due to repetitive motion you should go to a physical therapist to get checked

Yes. The tape is meant to be worn during your activity. Thanks for following with us!
I thought the tape was a sham until I tried it! I followed your steps and all I can say is wow this stuff really works when applied correctly. Thanks for the videos
This was really helpful! Tried this with my mother-in-law and she was thankful, hope that's apple pie for me next week😊
Thank God for KT tape! I use this for so many different parts of my body. LOL. I really appreciate your videos because they help me in between my physical therapy appointments. God bless you.
Thanks so much for this! Through a combination of weightlifting and guitar playing I've given myself some nice inflammation issues in my left elbow. I can't wait to see how using KT tape will help!
KT Tape Original will last 1-3 days and KT Tape Pro will last 3-7 days depending on skin type, type and intensity of activity, etc.
Thanks for the comment. Keep us posted on how it helps!
Your video has helped us tremendously. Thank you so much for explaining how to use the kt tape sufficiently. You explained it perfectly. Thank you again so much

KT Tape how do you apply this on yourself?.?????
Maria Buchholz Madsen they still don’t know
This is a very informative, clean and crisp video.
Now I am wondering what it was that I gripped with my wrist in the prone position when I was packing and moving. Great information. Thank you.

Rock tape tennis elbow
Paige Junk You don't know a single person? What do you do when you need a back massage, try to bend impossibly just to do it on your damn own? Stop complaining and just ask someone.
Because we don't ask them to tape us often enough. Let''s go buy some tape right now and find out who's on the other side of the wall.
KT Oh, i know them alright....
Hello the best info that I have had was by following the Freds Elbow Helper (i found it on google) - without a doubt themost useful resource that I have ever followed.
Thank you for the demonstration! Love the tape, it definitely helps.
I'm grateful to have proper instruction. Very well done sir.
Nick,
I recommend going to our "ask an expert" forum on our website and explain in detail your particular situation. Then one of our experts can come back with a more customized application for you.
You could try combining our tennis elbow and golfer's elbow applications. Let us know how it goes.
I just purchased this tape for my boyfriend because he is into BMX and digs a lot of dirt jumps. Over the years it has taken affect on him.
These are all 10 inch pre-cut strips. The small ones have been folded in half and cut into 5 inch pieces.

This application with KT Tape Pro will stay on for 7 days or more.
Great video; is there a special technique to apply yourself? I don’t have the luxury of an extra person around.
Ice after activity helps me a lot, along with the tape and an elbow arm band...
Have you tried our unique Ice/Heat compression wrap yet? www.kttape.com/catalog/product/view/id/40/s/kt-recovery-ice-heat/ It's awesome for ice-after-activity.

My amazing Dr. suggested this!
I'm by myself, is there a video you can make to show a different way to do this when you don't have an extra set if hands?
I bought a roll of this kt pro tape for tennis elbow for using this application. Followed the instructions to a tee. Within an hour i the tape started peeling.

do you eat garlic?
Thanks alot,can I please ask you what if I don't have the tape already precut how do I cut it for the perfect fit?thank alot
Excellent video; very professional. Thanks.
Does it mean, after applying the tape we can play tennis again without pain?
William,
DON'T go for the electric fence option! :) If you'll go to our website (kttape . com) we have a store locator that will show you where you can get it close to you.
Where do get the scrap appt yo elbow
Where do I the elbow for the scrap
I wish you'd answer all of those who want to put it on themselves. I am about to try it by stick the end down with no stretch and doing the 80% stretch from there. Will that work?
excellent video, as are all your vids, but you need to describe more the positioning of the actual Elbow/Arm/Wrist. I know its clear to see, but some people would be rather strange about this.
Nice biceps Chris 💪😎
Can and should you wear a tennis elbow brace with this tape?
Hello, how do I get the KT tap?
Not available in Hungary!
Great video - thank you for sharing!
Where would I get this tape? It looks hoke bit my arm hurts so bad I would piss on an electric fence if I thought it would help.
is it available in medical shop?
is there a different way to apply the tape when i have pain on the "inside" and the outside of the elbow. My condition is tennis elbow.
I think I stuck the tape on a little too tightly and I don't dare to remove it for fear of it not being able to stick back again. Should I just leave it there? Its not that uncomfortable I just feel a bit of restriction in my movement.

Can this work for volleyball elbow pain?
Can you let me know what he lengths are for the pieces shown in the video...thanks
I recently fractured my elbow and little piece of bone is sticking out a little towards the outsside of the elbow. How should I use the KT tape?
Dude that duff and shooter shit was the stand out in this imo.
Is the wrist flexion throughout?
I don't see how this can be applied with a bent elbow. Every time I've had tennis elbow, the pain has been below the bend, not above it! If I were to tape over the painful area, with a bend, it would have to cross the bend in my elbow.
This is ridiculous.
Why do you stretch the tape and then say absolutely 0 stretch?
do one for volleyball pleassse my elbow always hurts so bad when I serve and spike
How do you do that byyourself? if no one is around to help??
Just follow the instrutions step by step like i always do
Okay but how do ya tape your own arm?
Is the color of the tape important? And what size the best?
Pink tape only works on odd number days
Sooo I threw my shot put today and my elbow area hurts pretty bad. Would KT tape help?
I'm in allstar cheerleading and i did a back walk over and kinda hyper extended it how would you tape for that
Do we HAVE to take another piece and cross over?
Thanks for the comment. We're always looking for ways to make things clearer.
Immediate relief! Thanks!
Great!!! Thank you for the vid... It works!!!

Do we buy these at sport stores? Im from philippines
sa tobys sa chris meron
Thanks, that´s helpful.
Her name? :) :) :)
Thanks!
Helped a lot
What about if you got the numbness tho ???
Use Kinesio Tape. Much much better product. It's been on the market since the 70s, and it's the original. Plus it actually stays on. KT tape falls off in minutes.
It's so weird how these tape work.... Still mind blown lol
What's the difference between Pro and Regular KT tape?
Can I apply kt tape after being operated of ulna fractured .its been 7 weeks
You bet. Let us know how it works for you!
So helpful. If you have someone to apply it for you.
Yep. Just pat it dry when you get it wet, don't rub it with your towel.
Watched b/c I need a refresher for application. Watch twice more for Michaela... She's a goddess that seems down for a competitive athletic match... would probably kick my butt, depending on sport, AND look good doing so!

Check out our Golfer's elbow application. That should help.
Awesome - we like it ☺
How long do you keep it on?
Thanks.
BOBHNJEMT you’re welcome
I would recommend you visit our website and check out our "ask an expert" forum to get some expert advice and a customized application.
What about people with body hair
The Pro will stay on longer for sure.
I use the silver duct tape- amazing! 💪🏻

เจ็บ...ดูแล้วน้ำตาจะไหลฟังไม่เข้าใจ..😂
wow, super helpful!!!!!
Working in a factory assembly line messed me up big time. I'm in so much pain every day, I hope this works for me
I don't play tennis or golf, yet still have pain there.
They are just called that because it’s a common injury in these sports but any one can get them they are caused by an inflammation in the tendons due to repetitive motion you should go to a physical therapist to get checked
I've used an application for tenns elbow and wrist. It worked quite amazing good.
Thank you!
Some helpful guidance from the model knowing that her wrist was to be bent lol.
i like watching this video and pretending this guy is my future father in law and I'm asking for his daughter's hand in marriage.
