www.johngibbonsbodymaster.co.u...
John Gibbons is a registered Osteopath, Lecturer and Author he is promoting his unique online kinesiology taping course that you are able to attend.
This online course is based on my hugely popular clinic-based training and uses my Amazon Bestselling book “A Practical Guide To Kinesiology Taping”.
Any physical therapist involved with assessing, treating and rehabilitating sports related injuries, or even patients that present with back and neck pain, will need to master Kinesiology Taping.
Kinesiology taping is definitely the current buzzword in the field of sports medicine. This brightly coloured tape is now a very common sight at all major sporting events throughout the world and is even seen at some recreational activities. Therefore, therapists need to master the techniques. They are relatively simple to learn and once applied in a specific way can improve the performance of an athlete as well as reducing any pain and swelling.
This course will give you a better understanding of both why and when to apply the Bodymaster Method® of Kinesiology Taping. It outlines how to effectively treat over 50 of the most common sports related injuries, with the application of scientifically proven kinesiology taping methods (KTMs), and includes treatment guidelines for specific areas of the body that a patient/athlete might present with at a physical therapy clinic, e.g. lower back, sacroiliac joint (SIJ) and cervical spine (neck).
Key Benefits:
The full book is included (PDF Format)
More than 35 Instructional Videos

    Dr. Gibbons....thanks for the video. I'm a senior who plays lots of pickelball. I've recently strained my RF resulting in a small lump in the center of my left thigh. I'd like to continue playing while using your tape suggestion but will I continue to aggravate the RF and create a chronic problem? Any treatment advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Dear Mr. Gibbons, I am currently a student in high school. Three days ago, my teacher decided to incorporate squats into our workout. My left knee had been having incredibly joint pains but it was left untreated and still is. I could not use my left leg to stand up during a squat, so I transferred all of my weight onto my right leg during the squats. After 5 minutes they began to feel sore but that was normal. I went to bed and the next morning I couldn't walk. Straightening, bending and just using the muscle at the knees and the front of my leg would kill me, and walking up and down the stairs was like taking a stab to my body with every step. I have to do the squats along with many other workouts on Tuesday, in two days. However I am still a terrible amount of pain. Massaging it hasn't helped, and neither has ice. What do you suggest I do? My PE teacher does not take excuses unless I have an extreme excuse. How much longer will I be in pain? Please reply ASAP. Thank you so much.

    +Lani T Thanks for the message and it sounds like a Patella Femoral Joint issue you have and sounds like it is inflamed and more than likely the reason you have got the pain is probably due to your incorrect technique performing the squat and also you might have weak Gluteals muscles that can't stabilise the knee during the bending motion. I would see someone like me to guide you on the right path and short term avoid the squats as it wont really improve........Good luck, regards JG

    Hi John; My 16 yo daughter is in soccer college camp today, yesterday she pulled out of a scrimmage because the inner high part of the quad was tightening. She was being extra careful because she's been off since March with an avulsion to the rectus femoris attachment on the other leg ( all healed) so she is not in game shape. How can I tape her today to help in keeping her from straining this other rectus? I watched this video, do I just do the same thing but move it further inside and tape the x higher up where the pain is? THANKS!!

    For everyone commenting that they strained their quad and want to play, DONT!! Please go to physical therapy and get some help to heal, then once you have gotten further in the healing process you can slowly get back into play WITH TAPE. But PLEASE don't go immediately into sprinting or running after straining your quad.

    Hi John, Before 7 years I fell from 2 meters on a sharp object on the outside of the thigh. It was a huge bruise that I treated with ice. Muscle was ruptured. Over time, the hematoma collected and calcificated. It hurt on the touch and the weather changes. A year ago, I noticed while my practicing something tightens in place of calcification. It started to hurt at night and while walking. The pain is sharp as if it cuts me with sharp razor blade or drill bits. On the ultrasound and MRI writes that there is irregular course of muscle fibers with fibrosis in m.vastus lat. What is the prognosis and whether it might help me Kinesio tape.

    +Radmila Mitrovic Zakic If honest it might be a bit late to apply the Ktape - however it might help reduce the pain sop worth trying. Prognosis - it sounds like you have a condition called Myossistis Ossificans - whereby the bone cells have migrated into the muscle causing a calcification. It is very rare to have surgery for this condition but if they decide to operate then the ossification that is now located within the muscle fibres will need to be taken out so that means some of the muscle has to be taken out to remove the calcification. Hope that helps and good luck whatever you decide!!

    I would ask your PT to add in 'anterior oblique sling' exercises as these will incorporate the adductors with the internal obliques on the same side and external obliques with the serratus anterior muscle. It sounds complex but the exercise is very simple if done correctly will rehab the adductors in a more functional way. Google search might help.

    +Maher Alsayid I would bend the knee if you can as the tape is normally applied with muscle on stretch. In terms of healing - it depends on the severity of the tear - a minor tear only a few weeks but if it is a full thickness tear and you can physically feel a lump - then that will be potentially problematic for many months.

    Hello Mr. Gibbons, I have a question I recently about a month and half ago I suffered a inner quad strain or tear I don't know exactly. Although, when I received the injury from a low soccer ball game pass I noticed how quickly my quad muscle turned to blue blackish color in the center of the quad. Every time I would I lay on the bed ever so just lifted the right quad slightly, a protuberance came about at the quad near the hip and a dent appeared in the center of the quad leaving me unable to flex the muscle properly. Presently, I still have the dent near the center of the quad, the protuberance of the unknown muscle eased up but the sting, in the center of the dented quad, while trying to even want to lift the leg or lightly jog, is still there. Due to not having insurance I wasn't able to be covered so I did not make an appointment with a doctor. What can be done for therapy for the dented muscle?

    Hi Doctor, I have a huge tear in my rectus femoris (13cm x 4.7cm x 1.7cm) and I was wondering, I know the video says taping is for strains, but would taping be of any benefit for my tear? Thank you :)

    John Gibbons thank you! The strange thing is I am completely pain free and have full function but ultrasound has confirmed it hasn't healed at all in the last 8 weeks so I will definitely try this taping method, if not to help it then to offer support so I can return to basic exercise :) Can I ask what tape you use/recommend? Thank you, I really appreciate your advice!

    @@saa2813 Do shock therapy electrodes, and also do neurotherapy, I did it in South America. It's to basically sleep the pain while enhancing it by strengthening the muscle once the wound is in the healing process. Don't do sports unless it's closed aka the inner most tendon because there are 3 total. I also did bee venom injections for regeneration on the tendons and muscles. Highly recommend it.

    Hi john I have an extremely bad pain around the same as the patient here. I got it when playing a football match kicking the ball as hard as I could at and awkward angle. I immediately pulled up and went to ground I could walk for 2 minutes. But now I can walk but can't lift my leg sidewards without severe pain or else I can't lift it. Could you possibly help me thanks

    Hi I sprained my quadricep I was able to walk and jump on it without it hurting last week I was about 3 weeks in with still doing small slow inclined walks and stretches to try get it to recover faster, as it was feeling better I tried to run on it for 10 minutes and I feel like I am back to week 2 with pain I am now back to being able to walk on it and hop with no pain but there is still small swelling is this too early in for stretches and physio again and is it needing more rest?

    Hello Mr. Gibbons. On last New Year day after I got off my stationary exercise bike I felt the pain on my let leg quadricepts about thirty minutes later. I didn't feel any pain while I was on the bike. I felt a numb in the middle part of the rectus femoris. I have been taken ibuprofen pain pill. My doctor didn't think I had a tear; otherwise I would have felt it while on the bike. The area was swollen a bit now. I have applied cold/ice to the area and I also applied the hot water. I saw that with hot water. it made me feel better for a moment but it became more painful later. So, I stop hot water treatment now. Just wonder what is the right in home treatment and how long it will last and recovery period. Thanks. Victor Nguyen

    +qvn1975 Not sure if it is a tear of the Rectus Femoris due to the numbness feeling - it sound like you might have irritated the Femoral nerve and these issues tend to settle down quite quickly, stretching the quads will help as it will also stretch the nerve but not to often as it is easily irritated. Good luck!
