Why does kt tape work? i broke my ankle last march and ever since i have had terrible pain in it. i tried the tape and it decreased the pain.

KINESIOTAPE: Kt tape provides stability and support for joints by providing an external layer of support around the joint. You recreate tendons and ligaments using various techniques around joints and along muscles and tendons. The added support will give you the confidence and support during the rehabilitation phase of an injury as well as the stability and pain relief during activity. Its good stuff!
