Thanks for the video, I have tried all sorts for my thumb pain, and this seems to be THE answer

Thank You so much! I had pain on my left thumb area after exercising which caused extreme discomfort when clenching it, or pulling the clutch on my motorcycle. This truly helped! Right after putting on the tape i can clench with no discomfort! Will try out the warm water technique! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Very informative. You explain the technique very succinctly. Thank you!

This is very useful, just what I needed! Adding the hot water and the triggerpoint explanation is great! Thank you!!

it worked for me as well i had inflammation in past and this helped me to get back streght to my thumb side of hand.....good job

Thank you! Already feel relief just after applying. Next time won’t be sanding kitchen cabinets manually 🤕

Great video

Thanks... I've been struggling with splints & different ways to wrap... I'm now a happy camper! I've also been trying to figure out your accent.. i hear Northern UK (Manchester & Liverpool), Canadian, a bit of Irish & Aussie.....

Excellent video. I'll give this a try.

I absolutely love KT tape. Since this whole quarantine business I am unable to get my regular massages which necessary for me to function as a delivery driver. This is as close to a relief as I can get for my muscle and nerve pain.

Thank you.

THANKYOU my thumnb is being killing me and is the first video I foundthat actually covers the exact place where it hurts

This was great, very helpful! I currently have my wrist taped for some carpal tunnel pain that was aggravated from weight training. Am I able to do this application over the pre-existing tape? Can I get maximum therapeutic affect if taping for two areas or is it best to concentrate on one area at a time/alternate? Do you recommend a different application of tape to address both areas? Thank you so much for sharing this video. Pain can prevent us from doing so many every day things. I wish that more people knew how amazing kinesiology tape can be as a part of treating pain and injury. There could be far fewer people resorting to the use of pharmacological methods to find relief.

perfect help for my thumb pain which resulted from massage work :-( thanks!!!

I just found your channel and absolutely love your videos! I have Arthritis and generell issues with stiff muscles, tension etc. Doesn't really help that I play guitar. Movement should actually help with that and ease the pain etc. but it actually gets worse most of the time so I'll definetly give a bunch of different taping ways a shot this year. Mostly for my fingers and thumb, and maybe the elbow or whatever because I sometimes get a tennis elbow after a lot of guitar.

I actually did an Epson salt soak on my things on both thumbs today. So sore.. I did some research on KZread afterwards for stretched. I want to buy this tape now. Thank u.

thank u

You cut corners off on that tape better than me.

Thank you so much 🥰💕

Thank you so much I've not taped my thumbs before think I've overdone the wheelchair pushing (im new to pushing myself) the trigger point thing sounds really good too

Unfortunately does not work for me. 3 years ago I broke my thumb at my CMC joint. I was playing with my dog outside and threw a dog toy and I hit metal clothes line pole. Sounded like a church bell going off. Had surgery and pin put in and removed and my thumb still bothers me to this day 😑. Dumbest thing I ever did

Thanks

Would you happen to know how to wrap for hypothenar eminence pain? I can’t find anything on that. It’s all either about carpal tunnel syndrome or thenar eminence but nothing on hypothenar eminence pain. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm having trouble getting the tape to stay on my palm it'll stay for a tiny bit but the start to come off even after making sure to rub it and area clean from oil and lotions, do you have any tricks for me to use to help the tape stick better on my palm?

Thanks you this video

Thanks for this helpful video. I was wondering, is it worthwhile to get a thumb brace, or is taping better? If a brace is worth trying, what kind would you recommend?

Missy Benton personally, my thumb brace from the doc is more aggravating than not having any support. I’ve turned to the kinesio taping and finding much better support and relief! My experience, humble opinion.

Thank you 🙏

Hi, just wondering if you're suggesting applying trigger point therapy while there is acute inflammation and swelling? I have been led to believe this was not a good idea...

@NorthernSoul

Thanks for the question. Anything acute/ swelling you will be applying the principles of first aid. R.I.C.E Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. Applying trigger point therapy and heat are for chronicly tight or spastic muscles and pain.

Dear sir, how many days do you have to keep this sticker before you can remove it?

Thanks for the video. I just want to ask, what's the difference of kinesiology tape using athletic tape? Thanks. More vids plsss :)

@NorthernSoul

6 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the comment! The difference with Kinesiology tape vs athletic tape, is Kinesio tape stretches lengthwise which allows for it's unique ability to increase circulation, reduce swelling, reduce perceived pain, offload muscle tissue, provide additional support but still allowing mobility. The athletic tape is used for stability of joints and does not stretch at all. These are used completely different. I only use Kinesiology tape because therapy is moving towards keeping mobility even during injury. I hope that helps!

Have you personally healed your thumb pain?

This was a great vid, great angel and information. How long do you keep the tape on for?

@NorthernSoul

5 жыл бұрын

Thank you! in a perfect world You'd leave it on for up to 7 days as long as it feels good and isn't too dirty or coming off / apart. More realistic depends on how you use your hands. I'd probably put a fresh tape on daily until I get that muscle healthy again

Hi, for pain in the tenar part of hand due to thumb use in playing a musical instrument, would you suggest this application or the other One you filmed for stabilizing the joint? Thanks and congrats for videos

@NorthernSoul

If it's a muscle issue from gripping activities then this tape should work, if it's due to overuse of the joint or arthritis than the other taping. When in doubt try both and see which actually feels better. you should notice relief right away, thanks!

does this work to help support ulner collateral ligament damage ?

@NorthernSoul

5 жыл бұрын

this taping would help in the muscles in proximity to that ligament, but not help the ligament itself. the other video you commented on is your best bet

Informative and useful but too lengthy to follow

the only tape stays on me is black electrical tape

What if the top part of the thumb does not move at all there is extreme pain thankyou
