Is KT Tape available on the Camino Frances?

[Yumadons]

KT Tape helps with my posterior tibial tendonitis (ankle/foot). It's popular here in the U.S., readily available at Walmart and elsewhere. Does anyone know if it's available on the CF?

I haven't seen the brand KT Tape in Spain but you can get kinesiology tape at any farmacia.

Hello Yumadons,

northern Spain is not the middle of the amazonian jungle.

Kinesiology is a common form of therapy all over the western world.
You can find it in Pharmacies and sometimes in Grocery stores even in Spain.

Buen Camino!

Yes. Farmacias have it or similar.

Bought KT tape at a running shoe store in Burgos. Still have some of it in our medicine cabinet at home.

Hi Yamadons, I find Omnifix stretch tape very good, and you can get that at pharmacies in Spain too. It does not bunch up as others tend to do.

 

[Yumadons]

Awesome, thank you guys.

Lol @Roland49, the first stop on my trip is (almost) the Amazon jungle, Machu Picchu. Will use up my KT Tape there and buy more in Spain.

The only color in stock at the pharmacia in A Calle (Galicia) was bright yellow when I was there. You could see me from way down the path!

They do, but i never did find the pre-measured, perforated, easy-tear like we can buy in Canada. Not a big deal, but it does require purchasing scissors to cut it. Found some perforated in Leon at a physio place but he said he could not sell me that, just the one that needs cutting.

I saw other brands on the walk in various locations, but I prepared by precutting the sizes I needed from a roll before leaving on our trip. I use the super adhesive/hd one so cutting with my small travel scissors is a bugger so having strips ready to go in my kit worked really well.
