Kinesio tape?

[RunBrianRun]

Has anyone here used this. I’m sat here bored so I ended up letting google take the lead 😂 Just wondering whether anyone can vouch for its benefits or is it more placebo?

It is the only thing that kept me walking while waiting for my orthotics. I had to strap my feet up with it for anything over 5km, walk or run.

Wow! Do you still use it if you get a bit sore or tender?

[Realfoodieclub Graduate10 in reply to RunBrianRun]

I got my orthotics on Monday so I am hoping I don’t need the tape anymore. I think there is quite a science to how to use it. I know if I pulled it too tight my feet were even worse, so it all about getting the tension right as well as correct placement.

My massage therapist has used it on me a few times. It has certainly seemed to help, how much is psychological I'm not sure though. When she explains it, it makes perfect sense 👍😁

Interesting. I might get some to experiment with. My knees have just started playing up the last two weeks. 😣

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate10 in reply to RunBrianRun]

There's an art to it but I would think it's worth a try! 🤞👍

Got some! 😀 The shop assistant showed me how to apply it. Now to test it out at the Parkrun tomorrow 👍😃

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate10 in reply to RunBrianRun]

Brilliant. Good luck! 🤞

My physio strapped my back up when I had a disc problem last year. It's main purpose in my case, was to make me more aware of my movement and prevent me from bending too much while it settled down! It did help. Not used it for anything else.🙂

My osteopath used it on me once, it was Ok until it peeled off!!

Haven't used it, but saw a number of top athletes using it at the international athletics last week..
