A few years ago I visited the orthopedic surgeon and physical therapist for a knee problem - patella not tracking correctly. The PT taped it a few times for me, and said if it helped he would order a kit for me and show me how to do it myself. Luckily the knee has not bothered me too much so I haven't had to do anything for it lately, but I'll try the tape if it gets worse again.

I had my knees taped to correct patella tracking issues but I don't think it was Kinesio taping.

I've used it and agree that it was amazing how it helped with the pain and allowed me to hike and run (pretty much) pain free. Sounds like we taped in the same area. You can do it at home but I always had help because of how I had to stand and kind of "stretch out" the area as it was being taped. Good luck to you...I still have trouble with the IT band.
