Taping

I got my Endura tape last week and taped my knees on Sunday for my 7 mile run - no luck the tape rufused to stay on for more than a mile and a half. Since then I've tried cleaning my skin with alcohol before applying the tape, using a hair dryer and hot packs to warm the adhesive after apllying it (it is supposed to be heat activated adhesive) all to no avail. I've been a bit stressed since this seems to be my best chance of alleviating the pain (if only I could get the tape to stay on!).

After talking with my mother last night I thought of a Physical Therapist who has helped me out in this past and this morning I was able to catch up with him. It seems the Endura tape is very skin friendly but it actually does not stick all that well and he recommended Leukotape P as a better tape and gave me a roll. I will let you all know how it works after tomorrows run (I had already worked out today when I got the tape).
