Kinesio Tape > Yes...the stuff athlete's wore in the Olympics.

I will be reviewing this product over the next several weeks to help alleviate ankle tendon pain (inner/left)

I received my roll in the mail today. I chose to get the 2" roll, that is 16' long....as I should be able to cut it to fit my needs. Researching exactly how to use it.





Many options and "pre-cuts" available.

My mother is a hand therapist and uses that stuff all the time, so if you need advice, I can ask her to dig up some links.

Dane I used it when that weird muscle behind my knee got pulled (along with my calf). Works decently well if combined with the RICE method (Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevate). It won't work as well if you just expect it to be the primary source of relief, it's only a support method for when you need to be active.

Also, shave the area around where you plan to tape or you'll hate pulling it off. I also suggest you shower first before removing so it's wet, comes off the skin a bit easier.

Yes please....I have no idea how to apply.....I.e. in which direction I should be pulling tension. The issue I have is pain in the lower inner ankle toward the bottom of my foot. The bottom does not hurt though. I suspect I strained some tendons there, and some support would be nice, while continuing to run.

Dane, are you sure you are not suffering from Plantar Fasciitis?

[danewilson77]

Plantar frackawhatus? Hehe.....I will research it.

I've been having foot problems and PF is really more about in the heel IIRC. Quite a while back doc used some of this tape on mine to help support an ankle sprain but long term said wrapping it before and icing after activity was the best.

[danewilson77]

Thanks John......Been icing every night. 30 miutes on ice.....15 off....for 3 or 4 sessions.....then beddy bye.

It's def NOT heel. It's inside foot, then up toward ankle. The inner part that is "concave" on my right foot, is "convex" on my left foot.

That shit works. My wife used it for Carpal Tunnel on the advice of a Physical Therapist.
