Thank you for your videos. I have EDS hypermobility type and had read good things about KT Tape for providing help with our joint symptoms, so I decided to give it a go. Your videos have been invaluable, and the taping has certainly provided me with some relief.
Thanks for your video. I've been studying many of the videos on your channel. I have had neck & shoulder pain for a while & have seen doctors about this. But it's nice to have extra aids such as KT Tape. I'm wearing the KT Tape right now on my neck & shoulders & it's helping alleviate some of the pain in those areas temporarily. Thanks for uploading all your videos. I find them to be helpful & interesting.
I did A LOT of yard work today. My traps are getting tighter knots! The tape is I have, explain it to my sister, I tell her what I saw on the video for this, and she goes right to the area, Than God!!!
I pulled my back muscles while doing pullups with too heavy of weights. causes back and back neck pain whn doing certain angles., hurts my back when i try to do poses like holding my head(like when ure washing your hair), etc. this helps. but it forces me to stand up straight. feels unrelaxed and unnatural. i usually do sloppy posture when sitting down. now im forced to sit down straight like a man 😅. thankss
I've had a pinched nerve below my neck to the right for about 9 months.I went to a chiropractor, physical therapy and you know what I'm tired of going to doctors and spending money for nothing. Most of the time they send you somewhere else.
Bone spurs in my neck and I've had a fusion on my lower back so does this help posture because I'm starting to fall forward. The doctor says that I am ready for rods in my back but ...NO my posture is terrible and I'm getting older and I have done physical work my whole life. Does it still hold if you sweat?
@@vela7447 ah, ok. You are right, I thought maybe it would be easier to understand. I am not always able to see things from more than my own angle. Sorry if I was snappy
And my work was in timber, climbing trees and cutting them down to the ground. Lifting a lot of cut timber for the mines and so on. I’m 5’ 3” and weigh in around anywhere from 92 lbs to 115lbs. I was always muscular and very strong. Up until the past month. So I’m just asking about the taping actually searching for anything other than surgery again. I forgot to put this first in the other comment
I have degenerative disc disease, L1-L5, and C4 & C5 ...which also causes knots on my shoulders. Would this tape be a realistic aid to the extent of my ailments or just should I be looking into something else?
I had surgery on the c 5&6 from an old neck injury. And I’m 65 now and I had surgery in 04 on my rotary cuff but it wasn’t torn, it was a pinched nerve, but the surgeon scraped the arthritis out. I was in 40’s then. 2018 for the c spine surgery. Now I have from the scans a separateration at the end of the AC joint. I have had migraines from the beginning of the neck injury which was in 1983. We live where I’d have to travel a 10 hour drive to any type of decent Dr. I want to know if taping my c spine and the AC joint would help , I don’t want to have surgery again especially since I don’t know of course due to my age. I am female who raised 2 kids and grandkids plus heavy strenuous work. Until I couldn’t take the migraines from my neck and that surgery didn’t help at all as far as the pain in my neck, I can tell from the c5&6 , above that area it’s getting worse. Not counting my ac joint now. I was always very athletic but can’t even take a shower and use my right arm, surgery side of the joint, without ending up with swelling, and then the pain and swelling going across from that side , my spine and swelling up now on the left side a little bit. And I have been to orthopedic doctors time and again, physical therapy etc. I have been going to pain management now for over 10 years and that was working up until this past year and they were not sure if it was my neck or my shoulder. So it’s a separation of the ac joint from the shoulder blade bone from the scans as of January of this year, 2023. I would rather try the taping of my c spine and ac joint to see if if it could help prior to anything like surgery or a gallon ziplock bag of medication I have been given over time that’s not helping anymore. My kid’s, niece’s and nephews are all military including a grandson. 2 of which are Green Berets and medics with 20 years of service. And they have ran a lot of the Warrior races and various others during all this time. They use the taping methods for everything plus my niece has had the surgery on both her shoulders, my son fell in a auger pit and about killed himself from hitting the concrete wall with his face on the way down. Popped his head back and injured his neck and broke every bone in his face. This was in 04, and after he healed up, started with his running again and exercise for his neck and shoulder pain, but he was using the taping from way back then. I was sent this link to your TH-cam page to see the taping and where and how it is applied and what specific areas of the body. I can’t even help my husband mow the lawn and we have 10 acres of land and about half we mow , on rough reclaimed strip pit land . So it’s pretty rough as we are surrounded by timber and scrub brush, and he’d broken his back in 04, and been knocked out quite a few times at work, various other injuries until the last time, it’ll be 6 years this year in July, he got his leg crushed by a 800 lb cylinder and can’t work, he has a rod, pins, plates and screws in the leg from his knee to the bottom of the foot as it was a compound break at the ankle and the bones crushed above that. Underground mining was his job. So we’ve been to every Dr imaginable with his issues and mine. I’m just wondering if this would be possible to try so I can go back to helping him, but help me mainly with the migraines and the right shoulder. Any thoughts about this situation?
I would call the physical therapy centers and ask if they can help you place the KT tape. Or maybe get your medic relatives to help. It is worth trying, but you need someone to help you apply the tape.
I looked at many many videos about posture taping and some bend the head and neck forward before applying the tape, but others make the client retract the scapula/neck back before applying the tape.... My question is who is telling the truth? In one the tape ends up with wrinkles while in the other is totally firm.
Aren't the different colors also different strengthes? If so, I don't understand why one side gets pink and the other side blue. Or is it the same strength?
We found showing one color can be hard to see as the strips kind of blend when filming the instructions. You can use one color, two colors, or switch it up even more if you'd prefer as the colors are just for fun. Durability and strength are the same.
and if you´ve been the whole day until 4 am working in front of a computer and after that I feel very sleepy and very hard to think or be aware of whats happening around me? is it lack of rest?
you can use any color best for your skin or style, just pick the type (cotton, pro, or extreme) that meets your needs! We also make a Tones series that can better blend into a variety of skin types.
Hi Shané, we simply use different colors to help visually distinguish where each strip of tape is placed in the video. The color of the tape doesn't have any difference on the efficacy. You can get different tape materials that will have different stretch strengths (PRO Synthetic for stronger recoil, Cotton for regular strength) and for adhesive strength (PRO Extreme for extremely high adhesive strength, Cotton Gentle for more less adhesive strength and easier removal). Does that help?
While looking up posture treatments, I saw a posture guide known as “doso shocking guide” (search it on Google). It turned out easy to follow. Upon trying it for the entire day, I discovered a difference. I have been putting it on every day for a month now, and already see good results.
No one has beige or white skin. You buy the color closest to your natural skin color. They make a wide variety in color. It's not that big of a deal. You can also buy bright colors, if none match your skin tone. Don't make this out to be something it's not.
Also many spots like gymnastics and cheerleading used to have strict codes regarding colors of tape or braces. Maybe leagues allow neutral colors. Beige may not be a perfect match to my light skin or someone's dark skin but it's within the realm of natural skin tone.
I found myself looking for a way to fix my posture; I guess I was tired of being told always. My back pains were eliminated after I tried “doso shocking guide” posture treatment method that I found while searching Google for posture advancement materials. I use it for helping me reinforce proper posture as I stand a lot and tend to slouch.

So far, ice has been the most helpful. And I've been in pain for 3 days. And done everything.
what happen ? how did you get hurt ?
I wonder if this can help with the pain I get from working behind a computer the whole day?
Am a fan now, pls update always... you are doing a very significant contribution to the profession. Kudos

Any Sports Authority will carry it. We have a store locator on our website that will show you where you can get it near you.
Kt tape can be found on your local walmart...20 strips for 16.97...usually on the weightlifting section!!!

Also at Amazon for under 9.99

How long did it take you to heal up? I basically did the same thing and sprained my traps and it's taking forever to heal.

Same I wait forever to see them and get next to nothing in return. I'm 24 yet I'm living like a 74 year old.
I had C1-C5 removed. I stay in constat pain every since my surgery..

The doctor says that I am ready for rods in my back but ...NO my posture is terrible and I'm getting older and I have done physical work my whole life. Does it still hold if you sweat?
Yes because the tape is water proof and before you tape it you should wipe clean your skin
You're welcome and thanks for the post!
There has to be a better way to describe the stretch instead of using percentages
25% = 25/100 = 1/4
25% = 2,5 on a scale of 0 to 10
80% = 8/10 = 80/10
80% Scale of 1-10 is 8/10
😊 hope this helps. Blessings to new year 2019
@@isidesiwas6680 A ratio is still a "percentage"
@@vela7447 yes?

I have the exact issue in my neck but C3 and C4 I was wondering the same, have you tried this?
You bet! Thanks for the post!
U said apply 25% then u do zero that doesn't sound effective
wrinkle looks great. =/ thanks! really alot of uses for this tape!!!

Sweet! Glad to hear it!
Thanks for great new technique.
Hiiii doctor how many day bot this think ?
Are the different colors different sizes!? Or all kt tape the same size!?
Pain is up 2 more inches right at the hairline... can I put it up higher?
Where can i buy your kind of KT? i can't find them nowhere, just those from Kintex and I am not really pleased with their results.

The better would be the one that doesn't increase your pain.

will this exact taping work for a pinched nerve in my neck on the left side?
Is this like a total support for the neck and shoulders?
Can be heavy bags pain THERE too
Is that your son? You look like twins!
Lol
Same thought.
and if you´ve been the whole day until 4 am working in front of a computer and after that I feel very sleepy and very hard to think or be aware of whats happening around me? is it lack of rest?
is it depend on the origin and insertion of muscles?????
I've been studying treating ankle pain at home and discovered a great resource at Jasontas remedy tactic (google it if you are interested)
Can you use this for whiplash
Thank you
One tape for how much time??
Why do you use different colored tapes? Are they different or all the same just different colors?
C Mitchell As far as I know the different colors are for showing the different placements, for educational purpose.
Hi there,
I used different knesio tape. So I must still cut it myself... How many cm must the strips be?
Mahdia84 try 4-5 squares from the paper marks on the Kinesio tape brand.
Heard you on the beige tape 🔥…But what if I’m black
you can use any color best for your skin or style, just pick the type (cotton, pro, or extreme) that meets your needs! We also make a Tones series that can better blend into a variety of skin types.
Thank you for this video :)
No easy way to do THIS by myself. Haha
how much squers i need to cut?
Why do you use different colors? Does it have something to do with the ability to stretch?
Hi Shané, we simply use different colors to help visually distinguish where each strip of tape is placed in the video. The color of the tape doesn't have any difference on the efficacy.

Absolutely zero stretch ^^
Everybody aint beige. That is, unless this (the video tutorial and kt tape as a brand) only applies to those of the beige kind.
Not to mention people in a relationship or at least with some kind of social skills.
