KT Tape: Low Back

[@skfpinkflamingo]

I would love to see self application videos.

[@letszwork]

Ashley Phipps lol for real

[@KTTapevideos]

Both methods are great. The star pattern application might be more effective for you if your pain is in a focused point location. If it is general low back pain across the entire lower back try this one.

[@KTTapevideos]

When you consider that you'll get about 6-8 weeks of decreased pain for $20 it's not so bad.

[@KTTapevideos]

I've done this one myself several times. It's not as hard as you might think. Just bend at the waist like it shows and reach back with the tape and apply it.

[@ellesmithfagan]

Once I got the knack, I loved KT Taping - IT WORKS. Follow the instructions: center/max stretch AT the spot of most discomfort and then no stretch at the ends of the strips. The tapes DO stay on for a week, right thru your showers, but scrubbing , and dragging your clothes over them risk loosening the ends. If the ends DO curl a bit, just clip the dangling part and leave the rest it's fine. Taping Relieves the tension and pressure on the spot, and so the pain is relieved as well.

I am a figure skater and just recovered from a back injury and a friend of mine recommended the KT Tape thank you so much

[@katsons3]

I go bike riding on paved to gravel trails. I have found that my lower back/ tailbone get sore from riding a long distance like 15miles. I went out on a limb and used the KT tape, before seeing this video, and I think it had helped me with my riding endurance that I was able to ride longer/more miles and did not have my tailbone feeling sore. I have also purchased a special size specific- so many words w/ 's's, as bending forward is not good for my back situation. And I have suspension in my seat and handle bars and a cushion seat, but these things did not eliminate that tailbone soreness I was having. So, I am hoping the KT will be an answer. It is difficult to put on myself, but w/ no one around, I do not have a choice. Thanks.

[@KTTapevideos]

The different colors are simply different colors. No difference in the tape, just the color. It can be applied at home by yourself. This particular application may be easier to have someone help you with, but they need not be a professional. Just have them watch the video and they'll be just fine.

[@KTTapevideos]

You're welcome! If you want we always love to hear people's stories about how they used the tape and how it helped them. Just post in on our Facebook page if you want to. And thanks for letting us know!

[@SLAYY510]

Love this tape. I used it on my knee, and omggggggg!! Basically a knee brace without the bulkyness

[@KTTapevideos]

Don't forget to post a picture/video showing off your tape!

[@NOBODYS_HERE6969]

[@frankfort4717]

@@NOBODYS_HERE6969 yes unless it’s is a bone problem you should be fine

[@Bofino1]

I recommend this tape it is amazing it really helped me in training and in games it's really good

[@juanpablosegarralituma8677]

ixLogic Is awesome the tape.

[@KTTapevideos]

It should provide good support, stabilization and pain relief. If it doesn't visit our website and click on the "ask an expert" forum to get some advice from our professionals.

[@AndyPittman1988]

Every time I watch these videos intro I start wanting to sing Incubus-Drive haha

[@KTTapevideos]

Yes. Visit the kttapeeurope website and they will help you out.

[@KTTapevideos]

It shouldn't. If you are having problems send an email to [e-mail] and they will get you taken care of.

[@chuckcostello5167]

I noticed when you mentioned complementary treatements/therapies, you didn't mention massage. Massage is very important! Depending on the severity of the pain, chiropractic adjustments may not even help you in this regard because the muscles could be too tight to even adjust properly. I understand a lot of chiros use massage before their adjustments, but it's generally minimal and only affects the area of pain, not possible surrounding areas that could affect the injury being treated.

[@adhiadhilakshmi8670]

Yeah it workes very good when I injured very badly it helps me to attend the matches

[@Skater51]

Sure thing!! Going out today and get my tape!!

[@TruckNuts28]

If you have back pain and it seems like it's not going away you need an X-Ray and possibly and MRI as soon as possible. There could be a number of reasons as to why you have chronic (on-going) back pain which could be caused by hernia, slipped disc, degenerative arthritus and/or spina bifida occulta. I'm speaking from experience.

[@chuckcostello5167]

That being said (re: massage), having a KNOWLEDGEABLE therapist who can not only do what it takes to help you but also help you develop an action plan to stay out of pain is of great importance. I've assisted many clients in REVERSING sciatic pain, bulging discs, chronic headaches (neck/shoulder pain), and chronic joint pain (shoulders, hips, knees) as a massage/sport therapist. I don't discount other treatments but I feel massage should not be discounted either in the same regard.

[@KTTapevideos]

Visit our website. We have an application for the middle back.

[@JyrkiKoivisto565]

thanks for this...it eases the pain

[@nholcomb73]

My husband suffers from degenerative disc disease in his back. After seeing the positive results of KT tape for my daughter's knee pain, is this something I can use on my husband's back to provide a bit of relief to him for the disc disease when he has flare ups?

[@moehoward8691]

It would be helpful if you would explain that how you tape depends on the exact site of the pain and what the cause is. Hopefully this is not the only taping pattern you would use on all low back pain.

[@christianrosa6797]

Happy this works for lower back gotta try it there

[@KTTapevideos]

One of our favorite new products for the lower back is our KT Tape Pro Wide, here is a link: www.kttape.com/kt-tape-protm-wide-black/

[@ringdingersworldwide741]

I prefer 82.56% stretch with lower back KT tape application with calibrated phalanges.

[@miguelsandwichtutorials630]

Great video thanks 👍

[@MelaninMePodcast]

Hoping this helps me

[@headimpac1]

What is the reason for using two different colors of tape?

[@katievhoek]

I have a question! Last year I was diagnosed with Spondylolisthesis to the L5 S1 vertebrae. I play volleyball and have made a recovery but I want to know the BEST way to tape my back for my specific injury or injuries like mine. I also have SI joint pain so I usually just put a strip across that area on my lower back. Thanks!

[@KTTapevideos]

[@MarlaBronstein]

Your "Updated" video from a year ago says to put the second strip ABOVE the pain point. Did something change in 12 years?

[@e.salinas6553]

I tried this tape don’t think I can do it anymore it hurts me when I remove it I feel it’s peeling my flesh 😩off

[@Khs01]

Hello! If I have this pain but not in the middle of my lower back but in the left side, should I place the tape in the middle anways or in the left side? thank you

[@KTTapevideos]

Here is a link to our website to show you how to apply to the middle of your back. www.kttape.com/how-to-apply-kt-tape/kt-tape-middle-back/

[@MrCRHawthorne]

I have pain in my hamstrings, I think it's from my lower back. Should I tape both? Also, can I shower with the tape?

[@TheValDoug]

Charles Hawthorne I don't think it can hurt to tape both and yes, you can shower with the tape.

[@MerrimanSD]

Is this as good as the "asterisk" style 4 strip method in the other lower back video?

[@elissetteg58]

I have been suffering from lbp and hip pain after 2 car accidents(rear ended..within 6 months after the first) had chiro care, Accupuncture but now I have constant spasms...does this work for spasms?? Where can I buy one??

[@davevedder7835]

[@TheDrakulie]

Is it possible that after appilication of Ktape to the lower back, the Pain gets worse ? has this happened to you ? I felt like the pain in my Lower back got Worse after application of Ktape. i have mostly muscle tightness and spasmic type of pain in my lower back. Thanks

[@TheCodejuice]

I am 17 years old and I have developed severe back pain due to the fact that I have trouble keeping my posture during impact in my golf swing. I am wondering if this would relieve the pressure and help support my back enough so I can start working to fixing my swing. This pain developed last year during a round of golf at the very end and greatly hindered my ability to rotate much at all. I am currently a D1 prospect for college and I cannot afford this back problem. Please reply with advice!

[@bigang8367]

KTape man could get it 😛

[@saidhnini]

bonjour merci bcp pour ces videos comment je peux avoir ces bandes?

[@sykjej]

why does kt tape original come off so easily ?

[@sebastiantarazona2698]

Do you HAVE to use two pieces?

[@reinadeluz11]

I like it

[@congero113]

Does the tape lose its stretch and effectivness over time? I've had it stay on for several weeks but not sure its still working after that time.

[@jason4friends]

I am a football player and lately i've had trouble with my lower back. Can i play football with the tape and will it actully help?

[@mypandapaints5854]

Yes! You just have to make sure it is applied correctly and you can also apply vertically with one strip on each side of the spine about 2 inches apart. The un-stretched portion should be at your buttocks with the stretch starting at the waistline of where your underwear would be and go straight up. (Only an example because that is how my Physical Therapist tapes me and it helps a lot!) I've been suffering from chronic back pain for over 10 years. The only thing that has helped was Fentanyl which is an extremely strong drug which I had adverse reactions to so had to stop. This provides enough relief that I am able to sleep at night, something I can never do due to the pain. It is sweat-proof and heat activates the glue so rubbing it gently when you are out in the sun helps it stick. It might take a couple tries before you do it correctly and it stays but you will notice a difference within an hour or two of putting it on. Also remember to wipe down the area with rubbing alcohol to remove any grease/oil and to clean off any lotion or other topical residue.

[@joonasjantti8613]

+My Panda Paints i also play football and recently injured my lower back and this helped with it

[@trishabrockman]

Has anyone used this? How much is it? I threw out my back in June and couldn't walk for a week, I wonder if it would help with throwing out your back, not just pain but serious pain. I'm interested but I'm sure it's alot of money

[@icatro6389]

Can you buy this tape in the UK? I injure my muscles alot at gymnastics and I feel that this would be great for them.

[@hamishpaul]

Can you get this tape in France?

[@yannick4ban]

the ting with me its that i have pain in my middle back..

[@TRLEONUNLEY]

Where is a good place to purchase the tape? What size is needed for the lower back?

[@RoyalCaoCao]

God, it's so hard to tape the lower back. Because of the sweat.

[@easygoingallll1]

RoyalCaoCao someone in a previous comment said to use rubbing alcohol on the area first before applying. I hope this helps

[@satyanand9860]

amazing

[@Casanova395]

this will not work on a mans lower back, any other areas its great for, but it just does not stick to the center of the back due to the indent where your spine is located.

[@RoyalCaoCao]

Really? I just tried it and honestly, it's not sticking well, probably because of my sweat.

[@mAJ-mk1ge]

this guy so getes me :O

[@Fernandezam]

My L4 /L5 disk tends to slip out on me. I have stretches that I do every am and pm. Would this application provide my back with enough support so that I don't have to perform these stretches throughout my day. (it is important for me to be able to move freely throughout my day as I am a veterinary student and frequently have to be bent over to examine patients)
