Taping Trials Take 4

Injuries

Over the past 6 months, I’ve had my knee taped up almost every way you could imagine. I’m starting to feel like Humpty Dumpty, only the “back together again” part isn’t quite working out yet.

Time to try another round of tape:

(That tape goes all the way through my shorts and out the top. Yes, it was as awkward as you’d think to have it put there.)

This time the kinesio tape is supposed to “deactivate” my IT band so it won’t get tight when I run.

 

Time to go test it out…. Winking smile

    Hopefully this round of kinesio works! Otherwise, maybe we can just say it is a fashion statement? :)Reply

    I've never taped my legs at all when running but maybe I should look into it? I'm prone to getting injuries in the same spots. Thanks for posting your experiences with it. Look forward to hearing how this trial goes!Reply

    I hope this taping works! My brother is a squash player and has had some pretty bad shoulder injuries - he swears by the kinesio tape. Let us know how it turns out!Reply

    I hate tape! We did a whole day of taping as part of my coaching authorization and I sucked at it! I hope this tape finds you comfort :)Reply

    How did the tape work? Thanks for trying out ROCKTAPE in your testing. Anyone can email me for FREE samples of ROCKTAPE. Just contact me: scott@rocktape.com Btw, are you also seeing a PT or Chiro to help loosen up that ITB? Trigger Point has some good products to help roll it out. Good luck!Reply
