I have applied for first time, following your instructions, after weeks of excruciating pain. Athletic friend introduced me to this tape. As a result I now have considerable comfort. My wrist is currently aching but am over the moon with the improvement. I can’t thank you enough. I can now use my hand but of course I am mindful that it’s not fixed. Again, thank you and for such clear instructions. Well done.

Finally someone that shows exactly where I have pain 😌

[@JohnGibbons]

Thanks and hope you like the video, regards JG

[@SuperMaz1986]

Same and doctors still don't know what that is :/

[@1Kapuchu100]

I have (according to my doctor) tendinitis in my right wrist, but I don't have pain in my thumb or the fingers (only very rarely do I feel a slight "tightness" in my fingers). The pain is centered on the back of my wrist, and often a little bit to the right. Since the centre of pain is different than in this video, should the tape be applied in a different way?

[@sarahcavill5181]

I have pain in my wrist from carpal tunnel, and it's worse when I work out and put weight on it (push ups, planks, burpees). I make adjustments, but it's hard to avoid putting weight on it. I also play tennis, so my wrist comes into play then as well. Would kinesio tape help me? And would I need to wear it every time I go to the gym or play tennis? I've been dealing with wrist pain of and off for many years. Thank you!

[@JohnGibbons]

Hi Sarah, its worth trying the kTape as nothing to loose and it might just help with your pain. Good luck, regards JG

[@heragr2912]

Why do I feel pain/burning in wrist and fingers moments after I tape my wrist/forearm this way?

[@TpyoQueen]

Hmm. Whenever I stretch the tape when applying it causes me more pain later. Any idea why that's happening?

[@JohnGibbons]

TpyoQueen Try stretching only the tissue rather than the tape or stretch the tape less, good luck!

[@tazlynn3557]

I've had the same problem. when a technique doesn't help, or causes more pain, I watch more videos and try something different. this does waste a lot of expensive tape but finding some relief is pretty much worth it.

[@sgtcrabfat]

Thanks, got some tape from a previous sports injury,seems tendonitis of wrist forearm, so will follow instructions and back to work tomorow.

[@JohnGibbons]

I am sure it will help, Regards JG

[@VolcomDay]

I am a graphics and Design Student, i got alot of pain in the back of my hand still above the wrists, it goes even into my fingers. I was looking for help to apply it to those certain areas, any ideas?

[@JohnGibbons]

+VolcomDay Maybe try the technique first - buy some tape like Rocktape and get a friend to apply like I show as it sounds like a tendonitis and I am sure the taping technique will help reduce the pain. Good luck!

[@sipotiyo]

Would I apply it the same way if the pain is on the ulnar side of the wrist.

[@JohnGibbons]

That would be fine to apply the same way

[@michaeljordan6124]

Good video, it would have been so much more helpful if you showed how to apply it on yourself. Next video maybe :)

[@JohnGibbons]

Pretty straight forward to do the taping technique on yourself so dont need another video on that one, regards JG

[@KimberlyyyB]

What about tendinitis on the other side Like near the pinky

[@JohnGibbons]

Repeat the same technique but on the other side, however, it is rare to see a true tendonitis on that side of the wrist, hope that helps, JG

[@DannyandZed]

Where could I find this tape? Or could regular medical tape work?

[@JohnGibbons]

Rocktape.com is where I buy the tape from

[@marthawall3318]

I got Murray's KT tape at Walmart.

[@JoshAdajar]

what do u recommend I do? I play video games on my computer a lot and my wrist has been starting to crack a lot and it irritates at night. suggestions? I have cut my time playing games.

[@JohnGibbons]

ThatOneGuyJosh217 I think you are doing the best thing by reducing playing the games as that is probably the cause of your pain........

[@hamsajamal9714]

Is there a difference between colours or all colours do the same function ???

[@JohnGibbons]

No difference in the type of colour as all works the same, regards JG

[@okdunk8486]

Have this from shooting the basketball so much🤦🏽‍♂️

[@JohnGibbons]

Thanks for the comments and hope the technique helps, regards JG

[@cliffburton5696]

Would this work for intersection syndrome ( I figure the first piece of tape you laid would give the abductor pollicis longus and EPB a break, while the second would lift the tissues somewhat relieving pressure )?

[@JohnGibbons]

It would help and worth a try, good luck. Regards JG

[@katiamarti]

If there is pain on the other side of the wrist, is the technique of applying the tape the same or different? Thank you!

[@JohnGibbons]

You can do the same technique on other side, regards JG

[@katiamarti]

@@JohnGibbons thank you very much! 🙏🏻

[@mibsu8914]

I think I've got tendinitis into my Both hands at the same time because I am working with computer alot. One day I felt pain in my both wrists while working and after that I have had problems with hands. I haven't seen doctor yet, but what I have done is resting my hand and using effective medical gels for hands, I think I have got wrist pain to control on my own but what aren't gone are pain in my fingers, especially thumbs feel like there is some kind of plessure and the rest feels sometimes rigid

[@erinhoughton7042]

My wrist locks, any help with the K Tape?

[@Rita-yw2tn]

My daughter has been having this same problem

[@maddiecampo3345]

Could I have some help on what to do with my wrist?? I'm only 12 but I have soccer practice every day and I am the goalkeeper and I have continuous pain in that exact spot as the video. Any recommendations??

[@JohnGibbons]

+Maddie Campo Try the taping technique as that might help. good luck Maddie!

[@maddiecampo3345]

Thanks I tried it and it helped a ton!!!

[@JohnGibbons]

Perfect

[@Business8Lion]

Do you take off the tape at the end of the day?

[@JohnGibbons]

Leave the tape on for 3-5 days - regards JG

[@MarkSRiddle]

I need your help please, I mislanded a back handspring and it injured my wrist, it's been a week now and I start worrying about it because I don't know if it's healing or not anymore. I don't think it's broken since I can do a firm fist and also some light rotation with it. So is one week of light pain normal if it's a sprain ? and will the kinesio taping help me with this (I already have it at home). Please get back to me as soon as possible, I will really appreciate it. I'm a very active person and I want to get back to my activities. Thank you !

[@JohnGibbons]

WATCH CORN | Motion Graphics The taping technique will help off load the pain so thats worth a try and some ice every few hours, If you do a push up - is that painful as if it is you might have fractured the scaphoid bone, hopefully you haven't so maybe get someone to check it out to make sure, good luck!

[@MarkSRiddle]

John Gibbons Thank you very much for your answer. If it was fractured I wouldn't be able to move it (correct me if I am wrong) but for the push up, it will be painful yes for this early stage even if it's a sprain I think. What do you think about a hard wrist bandage doctor ?

[@JohnGibbons]

Hi, I have seen Scaphoid fractures that are not that painful. If no better in 3-4 weeks get an X-ray. The bandage is with trying

[@MarkSRiddle]

John Gibbons Thanks for your clear answer, I will definitely take your advice.

[@JohnGibbons]

Hope you do and good luck

[@therouxarts]

[@Electragirl5]

[@JohnGibbons]

I would as worth trying and buy the Tape from a company called RockTape as it is the best one. Good luck JG

[@JohnGibbons]

Hi, thanks for the message and the technique is worth trying and buy the KTape from a company called RockTape as it is the best one. Good luck JG

[@lathikakuruppu4891]

In cricket spin bowler pain in the pinky finger what is the type tapping . I could not find a video for it

[@gomo8523]

how do you know how much percentage you should go for?

[@JohnGibbons]

Generally speaking there is no stretch on the first piece of tape as the stretch is coming from the patient and then the second piece of tape, called the pain relieving strip or decompression strip is stretched anywhere between 25-75% stretch and i say 50% seems to have the best effect - my preference. Hope that helps, regards JGB

Qual'e la misura giusta per il cerotto ....

[@aldotomasortuzargomez7892]

cual es el nombre de la modelo?? 😮😮😮

[@JohnGibbons]

No idea what you said but sounds cool....Regards JG

[@RevanJJ]

I bought some of this tape. I have terrible pain in me hand and wrist, radiating to the forearm. Last May, I cut the ulnar tendons and the tendon(extensor) to my pinky finger and had them surgically repaired as well as glass removed from the hand. Then I was in a car accident and had a distal radial fracture and other damage all to the same area I had surgery before I had even healed. I now have permanent nerve damage (told last week) and my pinky hangs up from adhesions. The pain goes down my forearm on the inside up the thumb and forefinger as well as on the ulnar side up and down from pinky and ring finger. How best should I apply it for this? Ty for your informative video!

[@JohnGibbons]

Revanjj Its a tricky one to show you the technique without looking at you. I do have a taping technique for the Ulna nerve so it is worth looking at that one and having a go. Good luck!

[@JohnGibbons]

Find what?

[@peterbischoff6984]

What the fuck

[@MittenMartian]

is this effective for a TFC tear?

[@JohnGibbons]

A TFCC is on other side so to what I am demonstrating but its worth trying as sure it can help. Good luck, Regards JG

[@autumnleaf29]

how often and how long should they wear this

[@JohnGibbons]

You can leave the tape on for between 3-5 days and have a days rest then reapply until the pain starts to settle down, good luck.

[@jeennyaleman3916]

Is necessary to have different color tapes? Or one same color for the 2 tapes is fine?

[@cryofreezie3943]

I used two blue tapes and my wrist fell off. Recommend using blue and black tape

[@memorialcakewut5599]

Would this work if you have a ganglion?

[@JohnGibbons]

+Marie Shiro It will help if you have discomfort but it wont get rid of the ganglion but worth a try....good luck

[@memorialcakewut5599]

Thank you for the quick reply! Will try!

[@igorhecko1875]

Hi John, I have question...if is problem, or pain on specific area, is it not better aply kinesiology tape without stretch? Thank you. Your videos are helpful!

[@JohnGibbons]

I think trial and error is the best option, if it reduces pain to your patient then whatever method you applied has worked.

[@igorhecko1875]

ok, thank you for your comment.
