KT TAPE: Wrist Pain

[@DoctorSneakynipples]

"many times wrist pain is caused by pain... in the wrist..."

[@aliilya1091]

Ron Swanson lool

[@gazou1982]

+gazou1982 I always wonder why they don't start over, especially when that kind of mistake occurs within 10 seconds ...

[@jordanw.8667]

I heard that too

[@WAGgymSuperFan]

Ron Swanson I literally got so triggered when he said that. I stood up, shouted "WHAT KIND OF FOOL DO YOU TAKE ME FOR?!" then smacked my phone out of my own hand

[@arn0000]

😂😂😂

[@TRaTSeRiF]

This REALLY helped me today. Last weekend was my first round of tennis after many years of not playing. By the time I was finished, even though I was wearing a stiff wrist brace, after an hour, my hand was shaking and I could barely hold the racket (had a wrist injury from a crazy dig in volleyball - didn't bother me with any other activity, but tennis murdered it). After I had someone tape my wrist as per the video, I played for about 90min today, without any pain whatsoever. Thanks for posting this up!

[@farezzarashid183]

Maybe you can make a video on how to apply on your own? Thanks

[@kyleehersey7289]

Farezza Rashid there is one just look up the carpal tunnel app and the girl in a grey sweater does it herself. So do i its easy when you follow the directions.

[@savannah-23]

I actually was able to do this all by myself! I've recently been playing Tennis for my school and I had some wrist pain that had been bothering me since I'd woken up so thanks to this video I can actually use my wrist without wanting to yelp in pain every time I bent it. Thanks!

[@michelleann3663]

Worked amazingly, for the first time in months I woke up with NO PAIN. I originally bought the kt tape for back support due to pregnancy but it works great for carpal tunnel which is also associated with my pregnancy.

[@MammaSCN]

Many times wrist pain is caused by pain in... in the wrist.

[@Slikrik1212]

Not exactly for the do-it-yourselfer huh? I can just see it now, .... prior to my round of golf..."Hey Steve, can you help me out with this tape! Yeah, you'll need to watch this short video first."...haha!

[@kyleehersey7289]

People need to research and USE it properly. I apply KT tape myself and go by exactly what they say. Sometimes it takes some tweaking but otherwise it works great! Specially when used in conjunction with the spray adhesive. Lasts longer. Thanks KT tape!

[@KTTapevideos]

Thanks, Kylee! Here's an updated version of this Wrist application that we just released that you might enjoy using: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoO4nomnn5mtocU

[@gamethyst4648]

WOW! Instant relief! I did it myself, but if you can get help, definitely get help. My wrist has been in pain for years. Former 30 year old server. Having carried all those heavy trays is now catching up. I crack my wrist to relieve that sore feeling. I've tried many different braces, gloves, etc. and none have made a difference. My partner has been going to the chiropractor and he gets taped on his knee and he swore that it made his knee feel so much better. I'm a believer now... I felt so much pressure off my tired wrist. Thank you 😊

[@mariuslungu9678]

To place the top piece i believe is easy, for the ones going around your wrist just start with the sides.( no tension , ( rotate your hand) then stretch, no tension again). Sorry for being 4 years late.

[@nnklove]

Thank you!

[@KTTapevideos]

Yeah, we're still trying to find the best way to do this one yourself. Thanks for the feedback.

[@LDuke-pc7kq]

We Love You in the E.D.S. 🦓 🦓(ehlers-danlos syndrome) Community! 😍 🦓 KT tape is one of the Best Things I have Ever found for this condition! Let me know if you guys ever need a testimonial, I wish innsurance would cover this and more medical professionals were trained in this method it goes Far beyond what ace bandage styles can do and nothing short of a miracle for people like me with E.D.S. :D!

[@mininoodle4118]

i use my teeth

[@MaN2Mega]

I managed to do it my self easily the first time. You just lay down one end(3cm without stretching) then stretch the middle part with the same hand, press down all but about 3 cm at the end and then press down the last part without stretching, strange people can't figure this out..?

[@Elisa-vf1dg]

Had wrist pain due to volleyball training, used this method and I can feel the benefits after a day

[@izzyb5644]

My wrist is jacked due to volleyball as well! I hope this helps

[@timetraveller1527]

You can apply this yourself instead of sticking down the middle bit first, stick down the end bit first, stretch stick down, then stick down end

[@BenG9C9]

To apply the 1/2 pieces by myself, I pinned-down the latter ends by kneeling on a sturdy end table. Although the application was done well, I'm not happy with how awkward & time consuming it was. Next time, I'll get a friend to help.

[@camper234]

Bloody LOUD MUSIC WARNING.

[@KTTapevideos]

Good to hear. Thanks for the post!

[@daniellecarr7665]

I missed the part when you cut the slits but otherwise it was a helpful video. Thank you so much!

[@michelle-dilshani]

I dont think he cut the slits, this might be an y strip tape rather than an I strip

[@ItsMissChas5]

I hate I'll have to get someone else to do it for me, but I'll make it work... thanks KT!

[@Vega.Wrestling]

Does this work for gamers

[@BC-eu1nb]

Hahaha

[@Vagabond625]

Should work tho?

[@MaryJimenezUniversalProfile]

I would love to see how you can put it on without help.... It's not like I have people to help me.-

[@jasonclark8797]

Mary Jimenez I can come and help you and I need help to on my wrist.

[@kyleehersey7289]

Mary Jimenez i use it by myself. Its easy! U just need to make sure your clean first. Oil makes it not stick. Also using it as shown helps. They have tons of videos showing how to diy.

[@staceymarcoux9946]

I would of like to know more details. Why did you have her wrist flexed when you were applying the tape? What purpose did that serve?

[@TheOfficialMG]

This works really well

[@lynnekee1]

It would help to give strip lengths as my tape isn't precut.

[@samyakbaj6532]

Does this help in reducing or removing dorsal wrist pain?

[@Villagenanny]

ZERO pain in wrist after a few days! AMAZING! No meds, no cream. Genius idea! But just curious, is it recommended to wear 3-5 days as that is how long the adhesive will last before wearing off your skin OR is it not safe for constant use? I only ask because I noticed excruciating joint pain in my wrist hours after the tape was removed, worse than initial pain. Tape is back on & no pain.

[@MsJazzy410]

So far so good.... thanks!

[@lilmoony717]

Same with Alex James below. I would also like to know if this would work for wrist pain at the pinky side. Please reply back soon thanks!

[@sharonlindsley8019]

Hi, I have wrist pain and my pinky finger is really painful. Wondered how I would strap up together. May thanks Sharon

[@bnidalgar1662]

I fall six months ago and I have a pump under my thump in-front, I think my trapezium is dislocated. Do you think this will help?

[@freyawallis4]

When you pointed to the arm you said the flexors of the arm whereas they are the extensors of the wrist. Very confusing...

[@ns8tbl62]

Now you are going to trust him?

[@victoriachu5467]

Yup! I noticed that too. And then he said the skin was flexed pointing at the wrist when the girl's wrist was extended! @2:32

[@samann7951]

Thank you. Very helpful

[@KTTapevideos]

That's a difficult one. If you figure out a good way to do it yourself, let us know!

[@msongbird5447]

She said 💅

[@janehelmeczi618]

There is a mistake in the demo. You pointed to the wrist extensors and called them wrist flexors. Know your anatomy.

[@partner348]

Anyone could make that slipup, but the fact that he didn't fix it makes me suspicious that he doesn't know.

[@susieraffertyglad7700]

Would this help with ulnar nerve subluxation?

[@regizrugenz4719]

Will it help if I tape my wrist and play table tennis? though my wrist doesn't really hurt much but feels kind of numb and I can hardly held my racket's weight along rallies. I have a CTS on my right hand and it has been causing so much trouble in the game,

[@johnnyyogo]

I'd like to comfirm this type of tape was applied for releasing muscle after sporting or applied in sporting? Due to i had saw a video that suggests the anchor was located on forearm and toward to the wrist. However, the forearm method was introduced that can be enhanced muscle stable when you bowl the bowling ball.

[@jocelyneby8063]

Will this hurt the hair on my arms when I pull it off?

[@channelchili429]

This is great, thanks!

[@llwat1057]

Can that be done by yourself?

[@bbtrixie2653]

What's the reason for the 1st piece of tape?

[@sockfighter98]

felpattintottam barátnőmre, jó lett!

[@blackbelt481]

would this application work if i have pain on the side of my wrist (pinkie side)? Or will this only work for pain on the top of the wrist? thanks

[@jenniferwehmeyer356]

Can I just cut the first strip in half rather than using the entire strip for my wrist?

[@tamscozcabn]

How can you stretch wrist pieces 80% if you're doing this alone? It's difficult for me

[@molly7859]

My Physical Therapist had my hand bent up not down and put another long strip from my thumb over the top of the other strip. I had Carpal Tunnel 7 weeks ago but had Tendentious in my wrist for a long time prior to the Surgery. She admitted she hasn’t been to classes and didn’t really seem confident about what she was doing. I have pain when my hand is bent down not when I bend it back. Is there more than one way to put the tape on the wrist?

[@crazywolfxx2399]

This doesn’t seem to help with tumbling. I am constantly putting pressure on my wrists and it doesn’t seem to work.

[@lenkamolnarfi646]

Can I use it also for ganglion? Thanks🙏😊

[@mattiacorsaro5114]

Does anyone know if this works or could help with a ganglion cyst in my wrist?

[@KTTapevideos]

You might need a customized application then. Go to our website and visit our "ask an expert" forum and they will be able to help you.

[@Melbridzs01]

Thanx ✌️perfect technik💙

[@thewend59]

my tape is a continuous roll - how long are the strips used here? And for the critics below - it's not that hard to do it yourself.

[@reneepalmer9784]

So helpful but definitely need someone to help with application

[@britneycore]

Can this work for tendinitis for the wrist and forarm? It hurts to move my fingers sometimes was wondering if this would work for when I am on the computer ?

[@keenoled]

Yes. But remember, it's supposed to be a support while healing, not a long term solution. Use tape while in pain, try and work up muscle tone when not in pain.

[@rickycarr8449]

so we can buy this tape at walgreens?

[@NGASAKI]

Ricky Carr bought mine at ride aid!!!!!

[@jentatman1]

dollar tree has this

[@madilynkate3625]

I got mine at Walgreens

[@jeanhunt6805]

I have wicked rsi in my wrist and normally use a velco stretchy wrap. Sadly I need a water proof method to support my wrist without restrictions. Is this what this strapping will do? Thanks

[@s0dfish110]

I would also like an answer to your question.

[@kailat7850]

Does this work for cheerleaders that tumble?

[@jordanw.8667]

I'm a gymnast and it works for me

[@sammiehuerta3069]

Yes, it does.

[@genevievephanr9940]

the following

[@siwaisavage2181]

Kaila T is cheerleading a sport 😂

[@bowlinggod2930]

Jamie Acai okay honestly like I don't cheerlead or anything like that but dude, yes cheerleading is a sport, If it is done on a competition level.

[@robertdickinson6823]

thank you

[@richardclayton9622]

Will this application work on the font of the wrist

[@ankursaharia]

hii...i have a wrist drop, due to hemerus fracture, n got operated on march 23rd'17, regular physio therapy going on, but no improvement..pls help

[@lauradarby5569]

Give yourself time. Best advice. I had the same. Radial nerve palsy due to humerus fracture but no surgery, I had a brace and had to heal the long way. I'm 3 and a half months in and only just getting movement in my wrist. It can take 3-6 months for the nerve to even start healing so best thing is to keep doing your physio, especially wrist exercises, keep it splinted in a wrist brace for most part and to just be patient. It'll eventually come back.

[@paigeduncan7641]

How do you apply it yourself?

[@MoonChild-ey3mt]

guys.. my opinion is when you need taping, go to a specialist. to tape correctly you need to know anatomy and muscle function... origin .. insertion, you need to know how to tape, not just "copy paste". A specialist (kinesiologist, physiotherapist, med massage therapist), anyway, thanks for the video ;)

[@gabiepou]

is this the regular tape or the pro

[@Klutzy17]

Is there a way you can do this app on yourself?

[@Melbridzs01]

Helpful

[@chezy415]

I applied it and I feel pain is this normal?

[@fizioterapevt]

You anchor pluster on your skin. Why on earth would that aid?

[@chezy415]

going by what they recommended for wrist pain, but turns out i have bicep tendonitis

[@keenoled]

KT tape follows muscles and supports the muscular attachment points. You can think of it like a version of a hard cast to take the strain off a broken bone so it can heal.

[@theDudeAbid3s]

This is very interesting designing zone specific tractuoning effects with the tape? I'm trying to figure out how to use the stuff, I'd never thought about application through a range of motion. Sry for not knowing the specific terms but a question; i have pain through my wrist and shoulder which seems to be alleviated when tractuoning that ulnar condyle?(That bump on the wrist when it's twisted) wanted to know if there was a taping scheme or suggested modification that might provide the same relief.

[@graceurbanski3971]

works great! but it is hard to apply by yourself

[@hollyboss5476]

wrist extensors, not flexors

[@Core.soul.frequency_]

Did you means extensors?

[@nicolekesselring3398]

where do you find this pre cut tape

[@TheBricelee]

It works for sure second of all it's hard to do on oneself lol but it is possible

[@KTTapevideos]

Glad to hear KT is helping with your wrist!

[@ashishjacob12]

Where do I get the wrist tape?

[@jordanw.8667]

You could find it in places like Winn Dixie or Walgreens

[@theambientlife5105]

This is a pain in the ass man. Whenever I put tape on like this (tape on tape), at one point it just loses its adhesion and flaps around.

[@KTTapevideos]

The tape is definitely designed to stick best to skin. The video you saw is pretty old and we have an updated version, although some of our new videos do have limited tape-on-tape when necessary. Just be very careful to follow this taping tips video to maximize adhesion: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nomXaJd3pdR-hZY Here is our updated wrist video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoO4nomnn5mtocU

[@theambientlife5105]

KT Tape Thanks

[@michelstaples1014]

How come every expert is a man applying it to a woman?

[@jblasutavario9549]

Did you just assume their genders?

[@dik1000000]

it is not working for me...

[@ussoccerworks]

works awsome

[@man.tercero]

Where can i buy kt tape?

[@AStrieska]

probably in pharmacy

[@b0inGy]

+Manuel Tercero amazon has it. Make sure you try a small piece without tension for a few hours first if you've never used it. Some people have an adverse reaction to the glue used by some brands. I had to try one or two before I found one I could use. (kinesio tex gold)

[@MadbencoFS]

Had a nasty distal radius fracture 4 years back. After constant pain I had my hardware removed a month ago. Looking for ANYTHING that might help me live a normal life. Is their a any specific wrapping you guys recommend for me? Btw my pain is from the soft tissue and not the bone. I think.

[@princessbro33]

Fyi, wrist pain is caused by pain in the wrist.

[@TheNinjaFist]

Wrist pain is caused by pain in the wrist... Haha... I had to watch it over again just to laugh.. Just couldn't do a second take huh.. Tape is expensive just like film.. Haha....

[@dik1000000]

I just do not bellive in the concept of taping, becouse the way u tape the wrist, you are making a compresion on the flexsors and extensors, what increasing pain....

[@nissakay]

My pain disappeared after a day of rest and wearing tape.

[@poinmason8217]

But I can flex my wrist !!!!!!!!

[@chicogful]

Difficult to do by yourself on your own wrist. :(

[@annamcentee2300]

Lynne Pryde there’s a separate video link in one of the above comments that’s for self-application

[@jalene150]

I think I've fallen in love with that girl. Shes really pretty.

[@aidafernandes8516]

Sandrine boujours sandrine

[@muhammedserefyldrm3715]

The taping techique absolutely wrong. He is taping while the tape has zero stretch. Zero stretch tape has not any protective and strictive effect for wrist.

[@cosmonation1840]

Why do I feel like this is pretty much made up as they go? I mean, I’m still going to try the technique but I’m starting to think this is bs

[@MrMatrisso]

damn pretty girl

[@clemayk]

LOUD MUSIC INTRO soft voice. C’mon!

[@rotcod2886]

I hope he learned the difference between flexion and extension since then.

[@serenamarie1768]

Wrist flexion is the action of bending your hand down at the wrist, so that your palm faces in toward your arm. It’s part of the normal range of motion of your wrist. Jus sayin.. lol

[@rotcod2886]

@@serenamarie1768 I know. He called the extensors flexors. And later he says something about the extended wrist being flexed. That's anatomy 101.

[@NoBullFitness]

Omg. I thought wrist pain was caused by stubbing my toe. Holy moly. I was wrong all this time. What a revelation. Someone give this man a prize. Wow. Savior of humanity here “wrist pain is cause by pain in the wrist” you don’t say
