This gave me immediate relief after spending all week writing notes and irritating my poor joints. Thanks for the clear instructions

[@PTProgress]

Glad it helped!

[@fatimasafaverdi5054]

I’m a hairdresser and this was relief and a huge save from Carpel Tunnel!🙌🏽

[@oranaviv1]

Thanks, this was perfect. Especially since you explain how to tape on oneself.

[@LMicheleS]

This is actually better than the thumb brace I purchased recently. Gives me support on the inside of the joint, which the brace does not.

[@alanfasbury]

First video showing how to do it yourself, with one hand. Great video, thx

[@brennanroy8656]

looks like its really well explained. I wish it had captions or a transcript available for Deaf/HOH folks, and me and others with sensory processing issues!

[@jennifercierniak1952]

Fortunately if you buy Ktape there are written instructions with pics for several applications. They were easier for me to reference.

[@MsBiz888]

Thank you much. I used a bandage similar to KT bandage I have at home. You are right, it illiminated 70% of my pain when texting. I appreciate your advice :'l😊❤❤

[@BiLatKnee]

This is actually pretty amazing. I have basal thumb joint arthritis and doing this KT wrap gives me more pain relief and mobility that Tylenol!

[@reganmorris1596]

I do Krav Maga and during a self defense move during my test yesterday my thumb was pulled incorrectly and my thumb has been in horrible pain since! After I put the tape on the thumb was immediately relieved!! This video was better than official KT Tape Video!!!

[@PTProgress]

Thanks Regan! Glad you found it to be helpful! Hope your thumb gets better. Tape can be a nice way to stabilize in the short term as our body heals. If it doesn’t improve, you might consider seeing a hand therapist for a more supportive brace 👍👍

[@Komnini]

Thank you so much for this. I applied this technique, and my goodness the difference already is incredible, thanks a ton

[@karengonzales3271]

Thank you! I can't wait to try it. Having such pain in my thumb joint!

[@MsBiz888]

I'm having problem now with my left thumb and I'm starting to feel my right as well.

[@edt.5118]

This is a much less bulky taping strategy. I feel like the cmc joint is held "open", very little bone contact. Thank you.

[@LuikartRE]

Thank (ow) you (ow)!!!! Trying it now!

[@colleen9493]

This helped my painful thumb on numerous occasions. Thank you!

[@viktor7712]

It works. Even when writing with a pen.

[@lokeshlanka5021]

Hey there!
I'm facing the same problem more than an year...and I'm happy to see this video because it looks it will help me but the pain is in mcp joint of thumb finger, can u please let me know how to tape for it

[@jessicasharpe1925]

I just wish it had more wrist support. But it does help alleviate the thumb pain.

[@PTProgress]

Hi Jessica - check out the carpal tunnel taping video on the channel as it shows you how to provide extra wrist support with this kind of tape. Thanks for watching!

[@solapark4167]

Thank you. It helped a lot

[@drshaikhshaikh764]

From where we get this KT tape, can we use an ordinary tape too?

[@labakeegbeyemi4551]

How do I stop the existing pain with this tape? I’ve over used my thump due to phone like you said and d pain is too much at the base and my thump bones now shift

[@cantseeshadow]

@Labake Egbeyemi Did you ever recover?

[@aliyaqureshi7474]
