Thank you! This has given me instant relief. Still no running for a bit longer :-(
Thank you!
I have pain just above the cross and have rested before for 8+ weeks but plan to now rest for 12 weeks with just cycling and no jogging what can help with recovery? Thanks
Why do you put more stretch on some tape than others? For example, I noticed the longer tapes usually have less stretch. Just curious. thanks
The small tape is called a pain relieving strip and tends to be stretched directly over the painful site, regards jG
i’ve seen more videos saying to put the half pieces above and below the area of pain. is there a benefit to crossing it instead?
When you start at the foot and cross the two pieces it brings the foot into a certain position that keeps it in a more “neutral” position and stablizes it better. The ones where they just lay tape down in one strip from the base of the shin to the top of the shin don’t really work that well because I’ve found it doesn’t keep that muscle in a neutral position it just makes the muscle tight
Will this prevent shin splint?
And what does the tape help?
+Meegel Hi, the taping won't actually prevent shin pain - it will only reduce the pain if you already have shin pain. Hope that helps.
"Glew" 😊 thanks John, fellow Welshie
Thanks Welshie, regards JG
What if my pain is all the way on the outside of my leg a little bit above my ankle?
I have a taping technique for that area if you feel it would help, regards JG
@@JohnGibbons what’s it called
What kinesiology tape are you using?
Rocktape, regards JG
I have hairy legs would I need to trim the hair to get the tape to stick?
Hi and sometimes the tape will stick ok to hairy legs so worth trying, if not then trim a little but no need to shave. regards JG
