Kinesiology Tape

[HAIRBELLES]

I have recently stumbled upon and purchased this tape .

I was wondering if anyone has any experience of using it for ballet class.

A few of you will know younger dd had a bad injury and I thought it could be beneficial for her to use it.

Elder dd has just informed me that the physio at college uses this a lot.

I'm not sure if this will work , I'm not very good with technology

 

No doesn't look like it has worked but you can see a section ' taping and strapping' this is the tape .

Thankyou Janet .

I'd recommend getting advice from a physio or suitable professional on where to apply it and how to use it. It can be used to encourage muscles to 'switch on' and can also be used to relax muscles so depending on your specific need, the application and use will be different. It should also be applied along the correct structures avoiding certain ligaments etc.

Is that the multicoloured stuff you see athletes and tennis players plastered with these days? I know someone spotted that Roger Federer had some on his back the night he injured his back at the O2 last month, so I guess it didn't help that much

Haha it must have been Alison , I have never noticed it before ,will probably see it a lot now!!!

Thanks Drdance I'm going to ask her physio if there would be any benefit using it for her type of injury .

This tape is also good and was recommended by my physio. It's more for something like supporting a knee/foot etc but the advantage is the bandage sticks to itself so no need for tape underneath and no sore skin from tape.

I use this for my plantar fasciitis and it works a treat!

[tabitha]

Where and how do you tape for plantar fasciitis?

[drdance]

Tabitha the taping for PF is quite specific. Ensure you see a physio or sports therapist for advice on how to tape as K-tape has different actions depending on the direction you pull the tape.

I consulted the help of a physio to assist me in learning how to do it. But you can also watch youtube videos by physios. But honestly, it is best to seek professional advice because everyone is different
