John Gibbons is a registered Osteopath, Lecturer and Author he is promoting his unique online kinesiology taping course that you are able to attend.
This online course is based on my hugely popular clinic-based training and uses my Amazon Bestselling book “A Practical Guide To Kinesiology Taping”.
Any physical therapist involved with assessing, treating and rehabilitating sports related injuries, or even patients that present with back and neck pain, will need to master Kinesiology Taping.
Kinesiology taping is definitely the current buzzword in the field of sports medicine. This brightly coloured tape is now a very common sight at all major sporting events throughout the world and is even seen at some recreational activities. Therefore, therapists need to master the techniques. They are relatively simple to learn and once applied in a specific way can improve the performance of an athlete as well as reducing any pain and swelling.
This course will give you a better understanding of both why and when to apply the Bodymaster Method® of Kinesiology Taping. It outlines how to effectively treat over 50 of the most common sports related injuries, with the application of scientifically proven kinesiology taping methods (KTMs), and includes treatment guidelines for specific areas of the body that a patient/athlete might present with at a physical therapy clinic, e.g. lower back, sacroiliac joint (SIJ) and cervical spine (neck).

Dr. Gibbons....thanks for the video. I'm a senior who plays lots of pickelball. I've recently strained my RF resulting in a small lump in the center of my left thigh. I'd like to continue playing while using your tape suggestion but will I continue to aggravate the RF and create a chronic problem? Any treatment advice would be greatly appreciated.
how long after do we have to apply? I strained my knee and starting from now it's been 4 days.
i have the same pain on the same spot on this video. thanks for the video it is really helpfull :)
Thanks for the comments and pleased you found the video helpful
Did it work?
Mine's more on the outer part🤔 i got it from pedaling the bicycle too hard(im almost late at school at that time)
Hi John, yesterday i strained my quad after suddenly taking off while playing cricket. The injury only seems to be minor as it has healed quite a bit today although i still cannot run properly on it without it starting to hurt again. Will applying some of this tape help ease the pain? Thanks
+TheWill1999 I would try the technique as I am sure it will help, it wont be the answer to the underlying issue but I am sure it will reduce some of your symptoms, good luck! Regards JG
Thank you for this. I increased my running speed too much last week. I can barely run now with out a stabbing pain exactly where the pink and black tape cross over. Can a person with a small strain run at a slower pace if taped like shown? ( just a slow walk /run 5k. )
Bro I have the same thing how do u recover Ik this is a while ago but I need help
@@ayubali5443 rest ice compression and elevate it helped me a lot
@@Jaexrobbb I’ve recovered from sitting out a few games but appreciate it
Hi doctor I play soccer and about a month I started to get a pain in my right quadricep and when I play 25-35 min. I get a sting in my groin every time I kick the ball i went to get it messaged 2 time already and iv stayed away from playing but I noticed one day when I was laying down that when I bent my leg a ball formed towards the center of my thigh and a hole up towards my groin do you thing it my be inflammation or a strain ?
I have pain in the origin, so is the insertion same? Thanks
Hi John;
My 16 yo daughter is in soccer college camp today, yesterday she pulled out of a scrimmage because the inner high part of the quad was tightening. She was being extra careful because she's been off since March with an avulsion to the rectus femoris attachment on the other leg ( all healed) so she is not in game shape. How can I tape her today to help in keeping her from straining this other rectus? I watched this video, do I just do the same thing but move it further inside and tape the x higher up where the pain is? THANKS!!
Look at the Adductor kinesiology taping technique as that will help your daughter
Hi john,
I've strained my fm about a month ago and recently strained it again. I'm looking forward to purchasing this item to help me with my problem. My question is can I still stretch and do exercises? Or will the tape do the work.
Thanks.
You can do some stretches and exercises with tape on, not sure what FM is as I was demonstrating a technique for the Rectus Femoris - RF? Good luck
haggler88: what is an fm???
Hi doctor, i got this problem while doing leg exercise,but the injured part isnt swelling, how long does it take to heal
Hi, I Feel pain at this place and use you taping Method Tomorrow for a very important soccer Match i Hope it would help.
Greetings Joana B.
oh and sorry for my bad english
Thats ok and i hope the technique helped, Regards JG
do all rectus femoris tears require surgery?
Hi
should I bend my knee when applying the tape?
how long until it heal if there is no big bruises?
my injury happened after I tried to Sprint and the pain is from the middle upward.
thanks for great video
+Maher Alsayid I would bend the knee if you can as the tape is normally applied with muscle on stretch. In terms of healing - it depends on the severity of the tear - a minor tear only a few weeks but if it is a full thickness tear and you can physically feel a lump - then that will be potentially problematic for many months. Good luck
Thanks for the reply, yeah it feels like a lumb and the muscle is hard.
Thank you very much
Hai sir thanks for the video.I am injured last March 22 while kicking soccer ball.I have more pain in three days but I can't run or jog.I take treatment like physiotherapy and now I am starting my fitness but I got some pain again in the same place on rectus fermons.But now I can run and joging but I didn't kick the ball strongly and didn't take any quick action can you please help me for my injury
I’ve had hip impingement surgery and hip avulsion fracture surgery back in 2021, I did some physical therapy but my rectus femoris still seems to be weak. I’ve tried laser therapy, cupping and scrapping but it only gives me a temporary relief. It hurts when I sprint and squat. Left leg feels 100% and my right leg feels 70%.
Why the black one without stretch? Is it just fixation?
Hi doc ,
I feel this pain just when I want to run fast what I can do plz ?
younes mazouki he legally can’t reply or leave advice
Younes did you ever get an answer? My son has exactly that issue
I'm here for the same reason...Did you find any treatment?
@@ngokul3 I play football and have been running like crazy and its been hurting for months now
@@ShivSingh-ln1uv bro did you find the solution to the injury?
Greetings for you!
My area of pain is exactly the same as shown in video and today when I was kicking football as hard as possible. At first attempt I was able to run but after 2nd time I was in severe pain. Now I am able to walk but pain is not going.There is no apparent sign of injury on skin.What is the issue and how i can recover completely?
Hard to comment without looking at you, see a therapist where you live as sure they can help, regards JG
Thanks for reply, I'll first try with K tape. Then I'll see what to do, depending of result.
Had this problem for a about a month
Doesn't seem to get any better
When i try to play soccer
Goes back to a lots of pain
Can this taping allowed me to play ?
Got the same problem man,have you been assisted??
The tape will help reduce your symptoms and might help you to carrying on playing until someone like me has a look at you to find the cause of your pain. regards JG
Ulises Herdez ow man i have now samme problem when i shoot pain kill me
Dear sir please mention the link below to buy original kinesiology tape or kinesio tape
I use Rocktape - regards JG
Hi doc.
I have the same pain as the patient, however, my pain is in the origin of this muscle. How do I tape mayself correctly?
You can try side lying as that is possible to tape yourself - worth a try and good luck, regards JG
Hi John,
Before 7 years I fell from 2 meters on a sharp object on the outside of the thigh. It was a huge bruise that I treated with ice. Muscle was ruptured. Over time, the hematoma collected and calcificated. It hurt on the touch and the weather changes. A year ago, I noticed while my practicing something tightens in place of calcification. It started to hurt at night and while walking. The pain is sharp as if it cuts me with sharp razor blade or drill bits. On the ultrasound and MRI writes that there is irregular course of muscle fibers with fibrosis in m.vastus lat. What is the prognosis and whether it might help me Kinesio tape.
+Radmila Mitrovic Zakic If honest it might be a bit late to apply the Ktape - however it might help reduce the pain sop worth trying. Prognosis - it sounds like you have a condition called Myossistis Ossificans - whereby the bone cells have migrated into the muscle causing a calcification. It is very rare to have surgery for this condition but if they decide to operate then the ossification that is now located within the muscle fibres will need to be taken out so that means some of the muscle has to be taken out to remove the calcification. Hope that helps and good luck whatever you decide!!
john ur videos are very helpful. I had adductor muscle strain possible grade 2, my pt is working on passive stretches and now starting to work on the abductor longus, how long do they take to heal and how do i know if my pt is doing the right thing, it has been 3 months since the injury .....in a lot of pain still....any help please thanks
saw an ortho surgeon did mri but he just ruled out hernias
I would ask your PT to add in 'anterior oblique sling' exercises as these will incorporate the adductors with the internal obliques on the same side and external obliques with the serratus anterior muscle. It sounds complex but the exercise is very simple if done correctly will rehab the adductors in a more functional way. Google search might help.
Hello doctor, do you have any taping video for quadriceps tendonitis? I have pain right above my kneecap and lateral area. That is quadriceps tendonitis, right?
look at my other taping techniques on knee pain as that will help your injury
Howdy I know this video is old but I’d love to know why you tape like this as opposed to the standard two pieces going up the sides of the thigh? I’m a snowboarder and quad strain happens here and there and I wanna see if tape will help.
This technique is for a strain so the 2nd tape is applied directly over the painful site, regards JG
Today i got it i am 16 yrs old cant move if move paning
Hello Mr. Gibbons. On last New Year day after I got off my stationary exercise bike I felt the pain on my let leg quadricepts about thirty minutes later. I didn't feel any pain while I was on the bike. I felt a numb in the middle part of the rectus femoris. I have been taken ibuprofen pain pill. My doctor didn't think I had a tear; otherwise I would have felt it while on the bike. The area was swollen a bit now. I have applied cold/ice to the area and I also applied the hot water. I saw that with hot water. it made me feel better for a moment but it became more painful later. So, I stop hot water treatment now. Just wonder what is the right in home treatment and how long it will last and recovery period. Thanks. Victor Nguyen
+qvn1975 Not sure if it is a tear of the Rectus Femoris due to the numbness feeling - it sound like you might have irritated the Femoral nerve and these issues tend to settle down quite quickly, stretching the quads will help as it will also stretch the nerve but not to often as it is easily irritated. Good luck!
+John Gibbons Thank you.
Thats ok and hope what I have said will help but don't worry I am sure you will be ok soon.
Would this injury cause you to have pain from a ‘fulcrum’ fracture test? I’ve just done the test and it caused pain but I’m only suffering a minor discomfort in the leg from walking and am not convinced it’s a stress fracture. Thanks
Hi Doctor,
I have a huge tear in my rectus femoris (13cm x 4.7cm x 1.7cm) and I was wondering, I know the video says taping is for strains, but would taping be of any benefit for my tear?
Thank you :)
Hi Cass, yes the taping would help off load the pain and help recovery. Its worth a try at least....
John Gibbons thank you! The strange thing is I am completely pain free and have full function but ultrasound has confirmed it hasn't healed at all in the last 8 weeks so I will definitely try this taping method, if not to help it then to offer support so I can return to basic exercise :)
Can I ask what tape you use/recommend? Thank you, I really appreciate your advice!
Try Rocktape or Tiger K Tape from Physique.co.uk
Hi Cass, hope u r quads r doing fine and kicking well now.....I just have the same tear in the rectus femoris for about 10 weeks now and pain free.. any advises on quick recovery would be appreciated...and of course 3years old comment so sorry for any inconvenience> hope I get an answer lol
@@saa2813 Do shock therapy electrodes, and also do neurotherapy, I did it in South America. It's to basically sleep the pain while enhancing it by strengthening the muscle once the wound is in the healing process. Don't do sports unless it's closed aka the inner most tendon because there are 3 total. I also did bee venom injections for regeneration on the tendons and muscles. Highly recommend it.
i got this injury 2 weeks ago now and whenever I play football and want to strike the ball it hurts like crazy and I can barely walk after. some advice??
Try and see a therapist like me as to train on it might exacerbate the problem and common to tear this muscle in your sport, regards jG
I have this problem, I beeen icing a lot and it’s been helping , can’t sprint and hurts to kick the ball. I can not afford to miss any soccer games 😬 I’ve had this for about 3-4 weeks , I don’t have a lump or visible damage. Good thing right? Lol
Yes, a good thing if no lump or bruising....sounds like a simple strain and sure it will be ok, try the tape as might help. regards JG
Bro How to recover from this
@@thanucr5272rest
I wanted to know how much STRECH on the tape 50 percent? Was it less at X??
50-75% on the X tape, regards JG
I have some muscle pain on the area you placed the blue after i kick the ball and i had to left the game, i went to play again a week later and i felt the same sharp pain and i had to leave the game again, how long a im supposed to rest to be able to play again?
6 years
Hi John,
I have two semi ruptured quads from playing soccer, at different times in my life. I'm 27 now, what would be the best option for strengthening at full potential?
Tricky to say what to do on a text message as easier to show you, if you go to the website then you can make an appointment to see one of my team. regards JG
@@JohnGibbons I live in Florida. I will look at your information to see where I can go from there. I have my MRIs with me also, if anything. Thank you
Yes Florida is a long way from Oxford, its amazing where people are located in the world that watch my videos.....hope you get things sorted out as once the quad (rectus femoris) repairs then it might be worth leaving...regards JG
@@JohnGibbons It's been since March 23 the injury. What would be the best option? I feel as if the muscle is tender now, and not profusely pain because I can manage to breathe and sleep more then 5 hours, something I wasn't able to do until mid May. Although, I must admit my breath taking are larger than before this injury; not that my other injury didn't cause me worse wheezing, but I guess that's normal? It's just that I feel the Quad instead of being next to the knee/ insertion it's a little less then half way so when I try to squat I get a nice bulge that wants to stick out but not like my right quad which the orthopedic said even if it's nearer to my groin, no point of doing work on it, but I feel as if my ligaments under my knee are going to tear some day if I attempt sprinting on the field and more so now that both are torn/ affected. No disrespect to orthopedics especially to sports orthopedics, but I feel as if some are only specialized in bone/cartilage but not ligament to muscle.
@@JohnGibbons Well, I believe people will go to great heights to achieve things to better themselves especially when it's in terms of emergencies. What's crazy is that I have MRIs and the doc didn't know how to fix it even. I guess American football here is all about the knees, and ankles, but not legs, who needs quads right? Lol
Hello Mr. Gibbons, I have a question I recently about a month and half ago I suffered a inner quad strain or tear I don't know exactly. Although, when I received the injury from a low soccer ball game pass I noticed how quickly my quad muscle turned to blue blackish color in the center of the quad. Every time I would I lay on the bed ever so just lifted the right quad slightly, a protuberance came about at the quad near the hip and a dent appeared in the center of the quad leaving me unable to flex the muscle properly. Presently, I still have the dent near the center of the quad, the protuberance of the unknown muscle eased up but the sting, in the center of the dented quad, while trying to even want to lift the leg or lightly jog, is still there. Due to not having insurance I wasn't able to be covered so I did not make an appointment with a doctor. What can be done for therapy for the dented muscle?
I got the exact same thing. It's been 2 years now and therapy didn't help. The pain would come back and I finally got an MRI. Expecting surgery in 2 weeks hopefully the recovery process goes well.
Let me know how the surgery goes and how long it takes you to recover Emanuel. I'm still stuck on the whole process even after foreign country therapy. 😰
Good luck, regards JG
Metalpazallteway surgery just got done this morning everything went good now time to rest and recover slowly and hopefully get back on the field without any pain anymore !
That's very good to hear... How long did the doc tell you to wait before hitting the field?
Will this help to play a game ?
Worth trying at least, regards JG
Hi john I have an extremely bad pain around the same as the patient here. I got it when playing a football match kicking the ball as hard as I could at and awkward angle. I immediately pulled up and went to ground I could walk for 2 minutes. But now I can walk but can't lift my leg sidewards without severe pain or else I can't lift it. Could you possibly help me thanks
I am happy to have a look at you and I am based in oxford as not much I can do for you without looking at the area of pain...
For everyone commenting that they strained their quad and want to play, DONT!! Please go to physical therapy and get some help to heal, then once you have gotten further in the healing process you can slowly get back into play WITH TAPE. But PLEASE don't go immediately into sprinting or running after straining your quad.
My star spot is lower, about 6" above the center of the knee.....okay to put the X there?
Yes thats fine to do that Anne, regards JG
Hi
I sprained my quadricep I was able to walk and jump on it without it hurting last week I was about 3 weeks in with still doing small slow inclined walks and stretches to try get it to recover faster, as it was feeling better I tried to run on it for 10 minutes and I feel like I am back to week 2 with pain I am now back to being able to walk on it and hop with no pain but there is still small swelling is this too early in for stretches and physio again and is it needing more rest?
Hi, it is hard to comment without looking at you but it sounds like the run exacerbated all the good work you have done and naturally your body wasn't ready to run - it will take some time but dont worry it will heal ok and some treatments will be fine, regards JG
Okay thanks very much for your reply
@@JohnGibbons should I start stretches again and physio or is this too soon? I don't want to prolong or make my injury worse if it's on the mend
Not fm I meant RF.
Bending my knee heel to butt as depicted hurts the worst of any movements. Is that the position you're muscle needs to be in though for taping?
Lay on your side and place the knee is some flexion as that might be easier to do for the taping technique, regards JG
Cant play soccer for a while now how long should I wait if it is just a strain
Hard to comment without looking at you, try and see a therapist who can advise correctly, regards jG
Hi Jhon , my muscle ruptured a little in the quad strain its been a long time , Now he didn't Hurt Me But if i did a Mouvement i feel the pain for a 4 sec and he's gone , how long did take The muscle to recover ? , the ice can asembly the muscle ? Can u Give Me Some Tips Please ? Thank u
Difficult for me to comment without looking at you if honest, i suggest seeing someone like me where you live as sure they can be of assistance. Sounds like you have adhesions/scar tissue within the muscle and needs some soft tissue therapist to perform some techniques like ART (active release techniques). Good luck, JG
When I bend my knee it hurts and I have a bump on my thigh. Where do you get that tape
I have the same issue right now. How did you take care of it?
Hey did you guys find a good way to heal that?
Dustin Long hey did you find a way to heal that?
I can control that muscle in a weird way, is that normal?
Izaak hard to say without actually seeing the muscle contract. Regards JG 😊
no point asking questions. cause without seeing the patient he cannot suggest anything
Thanks for the message and I perfectly agree with you....
How long does take to go away
It will depend on the grade of the strain as a minimal soft tissue injury can take 2-3 weeks to heal. Regards JG
Went to my doctor she took scans so signs of anything broken and it's been three weeks going away a little what kind of excerzes can I do?
I get injury today In my rectos femoris when i sprint it is the worst pain i have felt so far how Long Will it take to be back ??
Depends on the grade of the injury will dictate how long it will take - probably best to see a therapist to assess it and to advise, regards JG
Hi John, if you feel pain at both the top and bottom of the quad can you put the cross pattern at both ends?
Yes you can but maybe get someone to have a look at you as it might be a nerve issue rather than a muscular pain you are experiencing
I strained my squad skateboarding 2 weeks ago and after two days i was like "yeah it's not that bad." And i tried a simple ollie and it was super painfull. That was almost 2 weeks ago and i want to start skating again this weekend, but i am not sure ill do it because it just doesnt seem to heal.
Same here, i fell off my mountain bike 10 days ago, feel like its not healing. Pain right on the area where he applied that blue strip of tape
@@renehuerta2371 mine healed, for me it was just resting, putting ice on daily and not skatboarding till it fully healed.
@@saamuwel4218 glad to hear that. Same here, started feeling improvement after 14 days of rest, it was a hard fall so i see why it took time to heal.
I have the same pain
See a therapist near to where you live as sure they can help, regards JG
hi John,
I'm not sure what happen to my thigh.my injury happened 2 weeks ago when I was playing basketball after I tried to sprint and until now it still hurt if I bend my knee with a little pressure on it (like doing a stretching). can I use this method to my thigh ? thanks for reply
+quiero filan It is worth a try if you think you have torn the Rectus Femoris muscle. Good Luck!
+John Gibbons ok, I'll try it. Thank you for reply ^^
Hope it helps!
Will this help will toren/ripped muscel
It will if it is for the rectus femoris muscle, regards JG
What if its upper thighe around under the belt place on MY left side(top of MY left leg on the right side)
Dear Mr. Gibbons, I am currently a student in high school. Three days ago, my teacher decided to incorporate squats into our workout. My left knee had been having incredibly joint pains but it was left untreated and still is. I could not use my left leg to stand up during a squat, so I transferred all of my weight onto my right leg during the squats. After 5 minutes they began to feel sore but that was normal. I went to bed and the next morning I couldn't walk. Straightening, bending and just using the muscle at the knees and the front of my leg would kill me, and walking up and down the stairs was like taking a stab to my body with every step. I have to do the squats along with many other workouts on Tuesday, in two days. However I am still a terrible amount of pain. Massaging it hasn't helped, and neither has ice. What do you suggest I do? My PE teacher does not take excuses unless I have an extreme excuse. How much longer will I be in pain? Please reply ASAP. Thank you so much.
+Lani T Thanks for the message and it sounds like a Patella Femoral Joint issue you have and sounds like it is inflamed and more than likely the reason you have got the pain is probably due to your incorrect technique performing the squat and also you might have weak Gluteals muscles that can't stabilise the knee during the bending motion. I would see someone like me to guide you on the right path and short term avoid the squats as it wont really improve........Good luck, regards JG
I have done it 3 days ago and it didn’t worked
The technique doest work for everybody, regards JG
Hey doc my mommy broken her hip

Yes the Rectus Femoris origin is at the A.I.I.S
Hi john, I kicked a rugby ball and got a sharp shock in the “ star marked area in your video “ I continued to run but eventually it got so bad that I was unable to bend my leg , I haven’t trained since and it’s been 2 weeks pain is gone but if I run it comes back…any advice on how to treat it ?
John, thanks for the response. I will see my pt tomorrow , he is currently messaging the abductors and we are now working on 3 sets 5 reps of exercise. It has been 3 months of original injury...in your opinion what is the time of recovery...i understand everyone heals at different rates. however i am starting to get concern as it has been 3 months and i am still feeling pain in the pubic bone area ... any advise ?
again thank you, i will be having a discussion with him tommorrow regarding anterior oblique sling
If honest the adductor strain should have healed by now, I presume scan showed nothing on the pubic tubercle area? The inguinal ligament attaches here and that can be a source of pain as well as other structures.
i did have mri pelvic region without contrast, my doc was ruling out hernias, had ultrasound as well.and X-ray to rule out pubic symphysis he told me there was nothing he saw in mri or ulltrasound/xray. have appt with orthopedic end of the month, what test can i ask my doc for? mri with contrast pelvic? thx
Can I use the same method for muscle contracture and muscle tear?
Yes you can use this technique for both soft tissue issues. John
John Gibbons thanks a lot...
