    Thank you for this video. It was very well done. I have used kinesiotape for lymphedema and it worked very well for my patients who needed this option.

    I want to thank you for all your informative vieos. They are a great help.Since lymphedema was not spoken about much it took me 2-3 years to convince my doctor that is what is wrong with me. She had no clue. I have used the tape in the past for a torn tendon and it worked well. For my lymphedema I had wondered prior to watching your video if it would work. My question is this. Can you lieave the tape on while using the pump on the legs? I have the pump and boots for both legs. Also my skin is bumpy from the lymphedema, so should I use it on that area of my legs?I have to ask you since I am with a new dr and have to wait for a new authorization to see my therpist.

    May I ask is it contraindicated to put on pressure garment after applying K-taping?

    Hi Kelly. I love your video. I'm a RMT in Canada with Dr. Vodder training as well as undergoing manual osteopathic training. I was wondering if I could use your video to educate the public about complementary cancer care at a conference in Toronto?

    I will give this a try, the swelling in my legs has gone down by 90 %, it's been 3.5 years since 3 strokes hit me within 72 hours. I have a lot of dead surface epidermis ( hope I spelled that correct ) that flakes off. I use Aloe Oil on my lower legs and on top of all that's happened I also have a bad big toe that is bent and hard to get to since I'm in a wheelchair
    and can't walk, but I'm alive and on the mend, have great movement in arm's and leg's and a super attitude, I'm 83.

    This is very informative for me. I have lymphedema from lymph node removal due to cancer in my right arm and now spreading to my left arm. How do I apply the tape where it can remove congestion in both under arms? Where do I put it from under arms to groin area? Do I still use it on both arms like shown here and then under arm also? Thank you for your help I truly appreciate it!

      @@ARKUENE I believe that there are compression garments for the hands and fingers. Check vendors that sell compression garments - there are a number of them on the 'net or if you have a therapist, ask for source.

    Very helpful, thanks. If you can do a kinesio tape video for the head and neck in the future, that would be useful. For the back, and inguinal area, maybe a mannequin would be a modest way to demo tape those. I’m having edema challenges everywhere.

    Thank you so much for the video. Do you have a video that shows how to apply to the shoulder blade area. i have a very mild lymphedema that is triggered with certain things and years ago, my Pt used the tape and helped tremendously. I just forgot how to apply in terms of the direction. If you already have a video (i searched but couldnt find it). can you please direct me? Thank you

    Is it rediculous tothink tou can get lymph fluid to go back down to the groin since lymph always only moves in one direction up to the shoulders? Would it be better to direct them to the lymph in the clavicle area? Are there studies that shoe this works? Getting lymph to go down your body instead of up?

  • @righthandtherapy5690
    @righthandtherapy5690 4 года назад +2

    Thank you for creating this video! I have participated in KT for Lymphedema courses in the past and was taught to always put the target tissue on maximal stretch before applying the tape i.e. flex the wrist before applying KT to the dorsal hand. It creates a ripple effect in the tape when the patient then moves out of the position and serves to gently "massage" the skin and fluid away toward the anchor point. Do you have any recommendation on this?
    Also, I was taught that you could increase the stretch to 50-75% especially when covering large areas such as the lateral trunk from axillary to inguinal lymph nodes. Do you always use only 10-20% stretch? Finally, I know that different tapes have different amounts of stretch. The course I took used Kinesiotape Gold. With other tapes, i.e. Rock Tape, the stretch is much greater, in which case it would need to be applied with less tension. What tape brand do you recommend using?
    Thank you for sharing any of your thoughts!
