How to Apply Kinesio Tape to an Ankle and Foot for Swelling

Ankle and foot swelling and pain or lymphedema can be caused by Lymphedema, arthritis, vein issues like venous insufficiency, pregnancy,or other reasons like an injury (ankle sprain swelling). In this video, I show step-by-step how to apply kinesiology tape (also known as KT tape and Kinesio Tape) to the foot and ankle for swelling, edema, pain, and lymphedema. ankle and foot pain and swelling relief can be challenging and wearing a compression stocking isn't always always realistic or comfortable, or easy to put on. Using Kinesiology tape is another option.

Thank you for your time and effort in making such a helpful and easy to follow video. This was exactly the guidance I needed, for how best to use all this expensive tape for edema.

Even with compression thigh-highs, my ankles and sometimes the top of my feet stay swollen. I was wondering if i should go from 20-30 to 30-40 strength, but maybe this will help instead.

So basically d ankle bones on either sides shud not be covered by d tape!? My swelling normally is more on, n around, both bones.
