Thank you. It would have been nice to see the inside perspective of the final result, but thanks.
Bom trabalho, obrigado por compartilhar o seu conhecimento, sou fisioterapeuta brasileiro, vou aplicar em meu paciente...
Thanks so much! I’ve been suffering for six weeks. May need more time so it’s not fully resolved. I’ve heard good things about kinesiology tape, so I’m giving it a go.
Thats great to know, regards JG
I wasn't flicking you off, I was checking for extensor carpi radialis brevis tendinopathy.
Proper application is key! I’m currently dealing with this issue and used taping 2x with some relief. I need my arm taped the way you did hers.
It takes some practice but sure you can do it with some help, regards jG
Winner of a video, I been tryin to find out about "nike pro combat tennis elbow band" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Eiyamilla Reputable Expediency - (do a google search ) ? It is a great one of a kind guide for discovering how to end your tennis elbow problem minus the headache. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my cousin got excellent success with it.
My wife has had this for a while and this has been the most helpful video so far; you know your stuff thank you very much! It's hard to figure out what's what since the forearm is so intricate.
Glad it was helpful! Regards JG
I have pain from laying bricks in my left elbow but mine doesn't hurt when I lift my wrist or lift my middle finger like you demonstrated,my hurts when I put a elastic band round round all my fingers and try to straighten them
I play oboe and I have problems with repetitive stress injuries and getting tennis elbow from playing my instrument. I hadn't thought of taping my arm until now and after having it on for about 15 minutes a lot of my pain has already been relieved, thank you for the video!
Use trigger point therapy, ball massage and stretching of the forearm muscles
Nice application
Very kind of you to say, regards JG
Brilliant
Thanks, regards JG
@@JohnGibbons I suffered a tennis elbow injury from over gripping while training heavy farmer carries and this taping technique helped relieve a lot of my discomfort. Thank you.
where to buy the tape Thank you
From Rocktape.com
Como se llama la cinta o donde se compra
Thanks for the message, regards JG
Se llama "KT Tape"
Puedes comprarlo aquí: www.rocktape.com/
Can we use donut shaped cut for acute condition?
Yes that would be fine to do as well. regards JG
Donut mainly is for trigget points
When to change the tape? Is it ok for it to get wet?
You can wear for 5 days and no problem if it gets wet, regards JG
How long should I leave the tape on before I replace it?
Thanks. :)
3-5 days is ok, regards jG
😊 thanks!
Thank you for you useful clear video. All I’ve been offered from the medical profession is endless steroid injections. 18 months later I’m no better. It’s severe. Thank goodness I have something to try with no bad side effects. I thank you.
If the lateral ligament has a tear is there anything added to the taping technique. Im not a candidate for surgery apparently.
Taping will only reduce some symptoms - an MRI will confirm what the pathology is and take it from there, regards JG
@@JohnGibbons Ive had the mri. Was told I’d need an op if it was torn but now told I’m not a candidate. So wonder if it’s nhs rationing rather than appropriate medical advice. Wish they’d just be honest. I would understand if they said they have more urgent cases to get to. But to say no op when they previously said if it was torn then an op would be necessary? After 20 months I can’t sleep with pain. Looks odd to me.
I have the tape. I will try it today. I’m grateful for any help with pain. Thank you so much for posting the video which is exactly what I needed. And from a qualified professional not a hobby taper!
*I'm presently watching and applying this kinesiology tape directly on the pain from the side of my wrist to the back of my tricep!*
*Something is definiely happening......kinda weird, like 60-70% of the pain just soothed away...from 17" of tape!!!!*
*I wonder if DUCK TAPE can do the same, hhmm???*
Thanks for message and to do the technique you need kinesiology tape as duct tape has no stretch, regards JG
Super, mais un peu trop rapide d'exécution pour rien, par exemple, j'aurais aimé voir l'intérieur du bras pour voir ou les languettes de tape noir aboutissent. Pour ma part, j'en ai une dans le plis du bras, très inconfortable et qui coupe quelque peu la circulation. Essai erreur, j'améliorerai la prochaine fois...
Thanks, regards JG
Can you help me out I have both golfer and tennis elbow what should I do. 😭
I would try and see someone like me where you live as not much i can say or advise without looking at your regards JG
@@JohnGibbons Thanks jG but I am dentist myself I can apply KT tape myself, just need your advice or if you can make one video regarding the same issue like how to deal with tennis and golfer's elbow simultaneously. Thank you for quick response. Anyway my medial epicondylitis is more painful than lateral.
I wanna try this but you need 2 ppl to do this technique
You can do this yourself, regards JG
Extensor carpi radials brevis does not extend the middle digit... Extensor digitorum does ;) .
True and you can use the movement of the middle phalanx to test the ECRB. Thanks for the message, regards JG
Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to discover cure tennis elbow naturally try Freds Elbow Helper ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my partner got cool results with it.
I’m sitting here still trying to figure out the damn hole for my finger in the tape🤦🏽♀️
Ugh! How am i supposed to do this by myself ?
Its easier with someone to help - regards JG
Hey, all good just at the start of your speech, you by mistake refer “Tennis elbow” as “medial epicondylitis”. I am sure it was just an error by mistake. It should be “lateral epicondylitis”.
Will check and well spotted as rare I make mistakes, regards JG
Not a problem. It is at 15 seconds into the video, great video otherwise.
Not medial sir. Lateral epicondylitis
It is Lateral....Where do I say Medial? Regards JG
John Gibbons around 15sec. But we all get what this is about. Excellent video :)
@@JohnGibbons at 16 seconds sir. With due respect. . The technique itself is very well explained.. thanks a lot sir.
Yes I just checked, I guess we are all human at the end of the day....thanks Regards JG
I cure my tenis elbow by doing push-ups on my fist's .
Thats great but doubt a lot of my patients can do them, regards JG
Sory for my poor english . I hawe a chronic tenis elbow , but it is not that bad . You need to rest , you need to take protein to " fix " the muscle and tenden , you need all the vitamins , C , B , D and minerals . You need to put ice , you need to stretch. And you ned to MASAGE muscle . And when you do all that for 2 or 3 weaks or one month ... You start to exercise . And remember to exercise triceps , it is the triceps that couse my tenis elbow .

Tennis elbow is Lateral epicondylitis not medial
Thanks and sure I know that...regards JG
Taping might be good in some cases for those who believe it...but even placebo will come short of a good tennis elbow
Thanks for the comments, regards JG
Mark J there clinical studies proving a great benefit of using kinesiotape to decrease swelling/edema, correct postural weakness, inhibit intrafusal muscle spindle hypersensitivity, and/or increase extrafusal muscle spindle activation. There are more things than placebo going on here. Proper application combined with MT has a greater affect than either performed independently so also proper use and application is taken into consideration.
@@BCEpedals just by reading " correcting postural weakness" i know i won't pay attention to those studies....but each to his own.
Mark J but why compare it to placebo if you’re not willing to put in any intellectual effort to learn what’s going on??
@@BCEpedals because i dont believe in taping myself. Regarding the studies- the output is dictated by input. Peace.
Poor videography---you fail to even show where to place the 2nd strip.
Just watched the video and looks fine to me, I am sure you can work out where the ends of the 2nd tape go as its pretty straight forward, regards JG
