I’d never used KT Tape before and ran a half marathon today (Houston Half & 10k; 10/27/19). I used this video and used compression sleeves over them for my calves and I had absolutely no pain which is off because I did before during smaller mileage training. I was skeptical on KT Tape but will use it and these videos again.

We found that most people weren't using it and when the tape is split it has more edges which can effect the adhesion. So we re-shot all of our videos with out using the y-strip. They'll be the videos on our website. They're on KZread as well, each of the older videos has a link to the newer version. But, if you like the y-strip you can still cut it with scissors and apply using the older techniques.

@ChinitaPhuongVyDinh Thx for the question. To answer your question- no it shouldn't fall off after 10 minutes. There are many ways to tape each injury- we usually recommend that you try different options until you find the one that works best for you. For tips on keep the tape on go to our website and search on “8 Tips for Excellent Adhesion” in the top right corner search field (sorry there’s no link- KZread doesn’t allow linking). Let us know if we can do anything else to help. thx

KT Tape will give you better support and relief. If you watch our newest video (there is a link to it in this video) it will show a simpler way that is still very effective.

@clonla1977 We appreciate the correction. Most people, especially consumers, refer to shin splints in general terms including issues with the anterior tibialis, so we've adopted the term.

Yes. But it will be cheaper for you to get it from our team in Europe. Google kttapeeurope and you'll find them.

@clonla1977 Absolutely- agree with you. We are already working on a v2 of our apps that will provide much better education. FYI- if you're interested in being a guest writer on our blog we'd love to do a post that addresses this issue of common misnomers directly. If you are interested email us at marketing at kttape dot com and we'll discuss further. thx!

Spot on comment, I watched the video and after the start thought wtf!!!! I am glad someone identified this and it has been voted up so people can see it. What is even more impressive is that the author was mature enough to accept your comments. Refreshing to see. Well done to both of you.

I am not on a high horse and I actually got a very good response from kt on this matter. And if you are using shin splints as a catch term for all leg pain I would hate to get treated by you. And no it can't be broken into posterior and anterior cause you don't have s shin on the back of your lower leg. it can be differentiated by medial and lateral.

WHY are there so many different ways/methods of applying the tape for MTSS,(tibialis anterior),REALLY i have seen like 10 different ways.My injury(21 years)on Tibialis Anterior is so bad,after like 5 minutes standing its already TO MUCH.I have baught these tape some time ago,but stopt using it because i got Crazy with all the detail of how to apply it(different ways you see on internet).1 thing they all have in common,is that they all go from bottom to top(foot to knee),i think i should just try different methodes,and see which 1 works/helps.........but if i see a video of some1 taping from top to bottom(knee-to-foot)i Kill Myself.............AAAAAAAAAGGGHRRRRRRR,some do 1 tape,some do 2,some do little stretch,so do much or no strech,so do with foot,or ankle etcccc.

Ive tried this product after reading about it and thank you for the videos. I have bad shin splints that even knot and are visible on the outside anterior of my shin espically after running. This product has greatly reduced pain and increased my run times though i still do have pain in the area. This is the only thing ive tried for my shins that has actually worked

The main reason was to increase ease of use and adhesion. Some clinicians still prefer to cut the Pro into a Y strip.

Even though this is a medical/physical topic video, there are men of culture here.

Shin split sufferers you need nose breathing- antioxidant supplements (quercetin, pycnogenol, astaxanthin etc.), vitamin D, increase nitric oxide levels (drink beetroot juice and take l-arginine, l-citrulline supplements) and at least 2,5lt water a day and maybe wear compression socks. This problem is un oxygenated muscle problem... and than do your stretch workouts. I am not a doctor just a sufferer like you, so before doing any of these ask your doctor if it is ok for you.

Hi .. you have 2 videos with different styles ...how would I know which one is best for me? Thank you

I have really bad pain in the lower inner sides of both my shins. I got it last year running track and quit track bcus it hurt so bad. I went to my trainer and he said I had a inflamed periosteum. I let it rest for a year and come back to track this year ( my senior year) and its back. It doesn't hurt as bad as last year but I think if I keep going It will end out even worse. Can you please give me some ideas how to fix this bcus it hurts like hell and I'm trying to run for a scholarship.please reply I've been looking for a answer for a looong time.

charles rob how's it now any better?

Most sports & athletic stores, tho I was actually able to purchase mine at the supermarket in the sporting goods section.

Thank you for answering so promptly. I appreciate it :) Is using the I strips vs the Y strips more beneficial for any reason, such as support and so on? Or are there any disadvantages with using the Y strip vs the I strip, other than the edges/efficacy of adhesion? I was just wondering about the pros & cons of I strips vs Y strips.. Thanks you :)

Did your shin splints ever improve?

i tried this today but the tape did not stay on for long. within 10 minutes of running the ends began to fall off although i did not touch the adhesive. its not supposed to do that right? there is a different way to tape that was shown on the instruction packet that came with the product, though, that shows the pink tape being taped on the bottom of the foot instead of the shin. will this be more effective?

It will pull off some hair. I recommend you shave the area. It will stick better and hurt less coming off. Also you can shower with it on and it should last multiple days.

Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else needs to find out about shin splints x ray vs normal try Mackorny Run Fast Blueprint (should be on google have a look )? It is an awesome one of a kind product for getting rid of shin splints minus the normal expense. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my work buddy got amazing success with it.

so is there any exercise will help to make it less painful and make your legs stronger? like legs workout, stretching?...etc cuz i see ppl do cross country and they run a lot without having any trouble, and im also practicing fencing but it hurts a lot after a while, even when i do running.

Where i buy that tape..what is the name..i from philippines..thaks .i suffer pain in my shin and numbnes.this tape can help?pls answer me..plsss

@LumosInc thanks for the quick reply!

Lol girl same but I found only black tape locally. Literally only my PT test murders my shins every time

thanks so much. i actually have a small pencil sized depression from the mucel tearing do to shin splints. thanks for your uploads.

@clonla1977 your right that is not how to tape one. My shin splint is on the insides of my legs. Im a volleyball player. Do you know how to properly tape shin splints? If so can you make a video because im really needing to know how to do it.

The original KT Tape had the perforation down the middle so you could easily tear a "I" piece and convert it into a "Y" strip. Does the KT Tape Pro still have that perforation feature, or is it only in the original? If not, then why was that feature done away with? I found it very useful ... I just figured since the Pro version is supposed to be better than the original, there has to be some reason the perforation was taken away...? Thank you.

I have pain from shin splint both sides of my tibia, which would be the best way to tape my shins?? help?? KT Tape

@clonla1977 Do you know how to properly tape a shin splint? Because I'm a volleyball player and I would love if you could make a video about it. Also If you know how to tape arches too would be good because years ago I tore one of the ligements in my right foot and the doctor said it would be a permanet injury so when i over use it it hurts so bad. Thanks:)

hey ,if anyone else trying to find out how to stop shin pain try Mackorny Run Fast Blueprint (do a google search )? It is a good exclusive product for getting rid of shin splints without the normal expense. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my buddy got amazing success with it.

@LumosInc Do you not think it would be better to educate people rather than succumbing to what they believe to be shin splints. You guys are the experts you should be telling them. Apologies I am a sports therapist and this is one of the things that drives me nuts, that and when people are telling me they have been treated on the patellar tendon for runner's knee. Too many diy fixes lately.

Other than the visual differences of this version and new one.Which one is better for shin splints on the outside of the leg? Thoughts KT Tape ?

That's where my pain is too

Could this be done with medical tape?

Thanks for this video,im suffering for 18 years on this injury (even have surgery twice on both legs)so now im recently trying this tape,because its the only thing that help a little,but i seeing this video im doing it wrong and i dont have the mony to go to profecional therapist My question is if i can use CureTape,because thats the 1 i have (just baught 6 rolls) or do i have to use KT tape ?

I need to order some of this tape, but before I do, can I just ask: do all KT tapes fold in the middle the same way the one in the tutorial does? I don't want to order the wrong one, that's all! Thanks for your help!

What if the tape I got dosent split down the middle

what type of kt tape is this? the one here that splits in half vertically?

@vietdude1979 yeahhh um I doubt that would do good. haha but ive, thankfully, discovered the shin compression brace. the tape is pretty pricey and runs out quickly so i invested in the brace that can be worn at any time.

You guys ship to The Netherlands?

What lengths of tape does this video use?

That is not Shin Splints what you are taping there is the tibialis anterior associated with chronic anterior compartment syndrome. Shin Splints is the periosteum on the medial side becoming inflamed and pulling on the bone surface....Good video but completely inaccurate...

i suffered this 1 mile into my 5k... it did not go away until i was done and was off my feet. it cost me easily 10 minutes lol. I went from a decent pace to walking and skipping

"shin splints" is a catch all term for leg pain...so it's not incorrect. It can be divided into the categories of posterior and anterior shin splints, as they have done in this video. Get off your high horse.
