Dynamic Tape Eco | Biomechanical Adhesive Tape | Physio Tape for Knee, Ankle, Shoulder, Leg, Muscle Support | Sports Tape for Football, Rugby, Ideal for Athletes |Grey & Black - 2" (1)

I’ve been on the fence about this tape for a couple years because regular kt tape is often not enough support. But between my allergy to adhesives & confusion about which tape would be the right support I had put it off. I also love the ethos of the company & that as a part Indigenous person, the designs were done by Aboriginal artists not just “inspired” by them. It is in my opinion, the coolest looking tape on the market but I digress.I recently found out that my PT uses dynamic tape & had been using it on me all summer. They had stopped using this particular tape when a few of their more conservative clients complained it looked like they had tattoos. (As I said, I love the designs!) Armed with the knowledge I wasn’t allergic to their adhesives I asked my physiotherapist which tape she thought would be best for me of these three & if this one would be too strong for my needs. She works with a number of different zebra patients & agreed the grey/black was the best choice for my needs right now. I have some areas that are particularly unstable & deal with a lot of intractable pain, particularly in my knees, my non dominant side was badly injured a couple years ago from a dislocation that tore both menisci repeatedly as it was healing. So this tape is meant to act more like additional tendons for me in some spots. It’s great & I don’t always need to wear my compression & mechanical braces on top of it depending on what I’m doing. It is on the expensive side but totally worth it so far. People who say it doesn’t stick, I haven’t had that problem yet but I always prep with iso alcohol first to be sure I have no oils on my skin. I find once it is stuck down it is really sticky. It’s pretty hardcore tape.Edit & addendum:It has fantastic support, *much* more than standard kt tape with less give. But after wearing during a cosplay event where I got potsy, too hot & the tape shifted under my costume (a corner got stuck to my leggings at one point without my realizing because I was in pain in too many places & wearing a large skirt over as well plus using my walker to aid my walking) it ended up repositioning itself on the underside/side of my knee on that sensitive thin skin where it pulled repeatedly every time I moved my leg. It ended up not only tearing the skin but causing widespread bruising, including pinpoint hematomas over on my patella on the top side I’ve never had before & creating blisters of lymph that were all around the injured area when I finally noticed the new pain & removed it.So I would advise those with tear prone & sensitive skin to NOT use the heavier two tapes without *first* using tape spray to protect your skin or getting an in person lesson from your physiotherapist on proper application if they are familiar with this particular tape. (I hadn’t done that yet because I got it in between appointments & have since done so which I’ll note below) I’d also recommend being careful when removing the tape early. Water, oil or iso/rubbing alcohol can make it easier if you need to take it off though I wouldn’t use alcohol if your skin is at all damaged. I had one other spot it irritated when I just pulled it off like I do regular KT tape because I was experiencing some sensory overload issues from my pain levels getting too high in too many places while trying to be out in public socializing at a noisy event. (Which had nothing to do with the tape) Overall, still highly recommend & I didn’t react to this adhesive at all which is amazing because I react to a number of KT tapes. Before Dynamic, I could really only use Haruto or OK. (Even OK’s regular tape would make me itch sometimes if I was in an autoimmune flare) But if you have sensitive skin, I would use a barrier spray of some sort to err on the side of caution, it’s been a game changer so far. My pt has also since advised that they think I pulled the tape just a little too much on the spot on my shin where it broke the skin & we barely stretch this tape at all, unlike regular kt tape. I’m currently testing two brands of pre tape skin prep with sample wipes from my pt clinic (Smith & Nephew as well as one by Medline both recommended by my pt) to figure out which brand works best on my skin & haven’t had an issue since with any tears or reactions. The tape is also sticking great, the only place it lifts is if I use it on my dominant cmc joint & thumb instead of linen tape & cover roll. Even with the pre tape, because of hand washing & the way movement is on that spot it will lift at the palm side edge only after about 6-12 hours depending on how careful I am not to use that hand. I also regularly need to tape both knees, my dominant shoulder, my lower lumbar spine & in support of one particularly tricksy rib at my spine.I hope this is helpful for fellow zebras.

Discovered this product after a PT session. It helps so much better than case tape. I did not realize that there’s different strengths of this tape so to speak. The only problem is with the shipping. somehow it separates and I only get the lid instead of the actual tape, but Amazon has been great with sending a replacement.

The best. My chiropractor introduced me to this. I now tape myself. I had my left meniscus removed when I was a kid. And whenever my knee feels a bit off, I put these on and ramp up my leg strengthening exercises. Never fails. Solid product and looks fantastic.

I tore my ACL this spring and even with surgery and lots of PT I was still having patella pain walking down stairs or hills and squatting. My PT recommend Leuko Tape or KT tape. KT tape was too stretchy and didn't offer enough support. Leuko Tape is great but on hot days it gets uncomfortable, quickly. Dynamic tape has enough stretch to wear all day without the discomfort I had with Leuko tape but way more support than KT tape. If I was doing something physical for a short time I'd stick with Leuko tape but the Dynamic Tape is something I can hike or bike in and wear for a day or two at a time without issue. I've recommended it to many of my hiking and skiing friends.

This was the same tape our PT used to help when recovering from a small rotator cuff tear. We purchased it so we could change it between appointments.

I wish there was a bulk option to refill the dispensers!

Therapist recommended this product by name. Sticks great and does what it is supposed to do. This was recommended over KT. But, to be fair, i have never used KT, just the therapists word.

I hate to be so negative but this is, by far, the worst tape I have ever tried. The design is super cool but I've tried it about four times now with no luck. I tried it the first two times and heated up the tape with my hands as instructed but it did not stick. I hadn't showered those days so I thought maybe it was due to oils on the skin. I've tried it twice since, fresh out of the shower, and still had no luck with the product. It is also definitely not waterproof. Even though the edges were peeling up, I just decided to deal with it and still get in the water for one of the times trying it. Within 30 minutes it was falling off.
