Questions:
we have used Kinesio tape for my daughter with CP and it helped greatly with her posture. However, she is allergic to the material in tape and would break out as soon as we removed it. Is there a Kinesio tape made of a different fabric?

Are you sure it's the tape & not the adhesive itself? You could test this by placing a area with the adhesive covered (or folded on itself) & held in place with cloth or some material you know she doesn't have an allergy. Wait about a half hour & see if there's a reaction. Good luck!

Question By: Jerry on Sep 13 2002 12:21 PM
first you will want to shave or wax etc. any hair that may be in this area. apply to clean dry skin without lotion, sweat etc. i would apply by cutting a strip rounded at the ends with zero pressure at the very ends and paper off tension in the center. apply in the direction of origin to insertion to facilitate this muscle set so apply as high on the upper inner leg or hip as feels practical avoiding sticking the tape to the more delicate sensitive skin in this area and apply just peeling it off the paper without adding or only adding very slight tension (the tape is already on a slight stretch apply with this light tension over the muscle that is hurting. allow the last inch or inch and a half to rest off the paper and shrink to zero stretch before sticking the tails.if you are a large individual or the groin pain covers a larger area repeat with an additional line of tape avoiding overlapping as much as possible. (it simply doesn't stick to itself well) If you find that pulling the skin of your leg in one direction or an other while moving the leg reduces any of the pain, then make a small y shaped strip by splitting one strip of tape lengthwise halfway up the middle...have the y tails grabbing the area that is needing some alignment coaching always with zero tension on the very ends to prevent peeling...use a little more tension on the y portion and paper off tension on the base of the y and again put zero tension on the last little bit of the base of the y. then rub the tape down well and dont shower or swim or do heavy physical activity for 30 minutes until the adhesive sets into your skin. then you should apply heat then cold then heat then cold to the pained area to flush the tissues

I'm sorry to hear of your arm swelling. You may want to consider a compression garment however for lymphatic swelling cut 2 strips just short of the length of the upper arm and cut all the way up the tape in small strips except for the last inch so it looks a little like an octopus.stick the first tape end with no tension near the inside of the arm by the armpit. take the paper off carefully so it wont all stick to itself and apply with no tension in a meandering fashion toward your swelling site. make the second piece the same way and apply to the triceps area near the armpit and also apply in an undulating pattern towared the area of swelling.
the color is based on cronic injury and acute injury... use pink for older injuries and blue for fresh injuries just like we use cold and or heat. The tape is exactly the same except for the dye used to color the tape. though i find when using the beigh people address me as injured and when i use the colored people address me as sporty

Yes, not only will it help stabilize your shoulder, it will reduce pain and inflamation while helping with range of motion.

Yes, use reduces pain an supports some exercises without the sharp -shooting pain. Have used now for approx 12 days and am able to rest comfortable and do minor reaching exersizes
Answer By: Greg on Oct 12 2014 12:42 AM
This is exactly what I use Kinesio tape for. I can play golf several days in a row if I use the tape. If I don't my shoulder is too sore after the first day. As far as recovery is concerned, I doubt the tape will cause even a slight rotator cuff tear to heal, however if your shoulder is merely strained, the tape should prevent reinjury.

Question By: LV on Aug 12 2009 5:31 AM
touch travels faster the pain so if something is sitting on the skin giving the skin signals when the joints move,etc. the signal on the skin travels faster then then pain signal to the brain and blocks some of the pain perception. and when it reduces the inflammation, then it also decreases pain by decreasing the signal on the pressure sensitives nerve receptors. i hope that answered your question.
