While at physical therapy, I noticed the physical therapists use it a lot. They work on the Penguins, so take that for what it's worth.
It has its uses, but only by trained professionals. My physical therapist used it on my knee and when he was putting it on, I realized how complicated it can be to apply the stuff. Each piece has a very specific way that needs to be put on in order to create "pull" it needs. Anyone else putting it on would be just stupid. It actually worked well too. My patella doesn't track correctly and he put it on me so that it pulled it back in to place.
How does it last, shortz?...
Instead of using KT Tape buy Rock Tape. There is a difference and YES, kenesio tape does work when used correctly and applied correctly. It's not just as simple and cut, apply, and voila. You need to know the actual issue and then how to properly apply the tape. It can be used for structural support, corrective measures, and for putting excess fluid back in lymph nodes.
