This safe me from surgery and now I am walking without problems. And without pain,. Super thank you
Thanks for the message and pleased it help, regards JG
Do you always use it everyday?
Thanks for posting this video really helped my knee pain. I tried taping at 90 degrees like I'd seen on other videos but I just didn't get the pain relief that your instructions provided. Thanks again!
Kinesiology Tape really helps me with knee pain, also provides much more movement with less pain, a wonderful thing!
It is indeed as works well, regards jG
Thank you for this. I have struggled with tendinitis ever since I had partial knee replacement. After taping per the video I skied double blacks today with reduced pain.
Thats brilliant and pleased the technique has helped. Regards JG
Hi JG!
you are a great doc
and so cooperative
Not much people reply each and every question like you
Great job
Thanks for the message and great comments, regards JG
hes not a doctor he's an osteopath
Great video, simple, easy to follow instructions
Thanks
This video is old but I just want to say this really help, thanks bro🙏
Glad it helped and i do have newer versions now, regards JG
I have arthritis in my knee and the tape really helps relieve the pain before it gets too bad.

I have been using this technique for my own dx he's talking about and I've been able to get out of bed and walk for several hours without limping to favor the extreme pain and discomfort. I've tried both the Walmart equate brand and KT tape and I see no difference except price. Today, the KT tape came off quicker that the Equate brand while out in my yard, doing chores in water
That's fabulous. I had an accident on my bike on Jan 2 this year - the city just sort of forgot to finish cleaning and de-icing a bike path - - - i have always driven all year long on a bike - i am now 60 years old and for the first time have rips in the ligaments around the knee - the doctors just said - here take pain pills - which just made me vomit and i demanded a physiotherapist - that man is wonderful -but it has taken a long time to figure out what is going to work. Yesterday put tape on my - 6 months and the first time i've been able to see my knee cap!!!
Thank you. This works very well. Some yard at the dojo did not tell me to rotate and I have knee pain. I have been free of pain for over a year, and one knucklehead. 😅
I do this exact taping showed to me in physical therapy and I can feel the difference in my knee
Thats good news, I am sure the tape will help. regards JG
Thank you! As always, the best!
Thanks again! Regards JG
Wow, my knee is actually tracking properly. Thank you
Thats great, regards JG
I'm only 18 but work a hard laboring physical job and my ankles feel dead. Using this tape has helped alot and my feet dont hurt as bad even after standing for 10 hour shifts
Thats great that the tape has helped, regards JG
I have Runner's knee and this helped a lot I could actually run and jump without it affecting my me It was setting me back on meets but once I had it on I mange to actually improve myself alot
Thanks for the message and lovely comments, regards JG
Excellent video
Thank you very much! Regards JG
Cool video never know nothing about the tape but I'm going to try that
Thanks for the message and comments, regards JG
I’m a football player that worries so much about my performances , I got my ligament injured I was asked by the doctor to wait for 100days, I just can’t,to me football is not just a sport it’s life. I started using knee pads but I realized they do compress my knees which results to more pains and I can’t even control well the ball. My knees also get knackered easily. I read about knee taping and I think it’s the right choice. My questions are after knee taping, can I play football? will taping enhance my knee strength and easiness? Thanks 🙏
Thank you for this video!
I have knee pain for the past 7 months. I recently found out that my knee cap is slightly tilted and that's what causing the inflammation and the pain. Will taping the knee during the day, combined with physiotherapy, help reduce the pain and the knee cap grinding on the bone?
It will help as long as the taping is done correctly by someone like me, then you need to try and strengthen the inner quadricep muscles and is called the vastus medialis - the physio should know, good luck. JG
Thank you for your advice, I"ll try that.
@@JohnGibbons does working out on VMO and taping religiously could relocate to the normal track of kneecap?
Unintentional ASMR gold 👌
Thanks, regards JG
Good one
Thanks, regards JG
Great instructional video John, quick question, how long would you leave the tape in place for?
Thanks and 3-5 days, regards JG
How often do you change the tape? Do you only use it when having high movement activity or should it be used all the time. I’m a vet tech and I’m always moving in my job and would like to give some additional support to my knees since they sometimes get hurt and can feel sore.
You can leave it on for about 5 days at a time and can exercise as normal with it on, regards JG
My son is a high school senior wrestler. He sprained annkle and kindda hurt knee last week wrestling. He does not want to take a break and still going to practice. Ankle is a little puffy, just a little bit though. Knee not swollen but is unconformable. Anyways he can use tape and use compression sleeves at the same time? If tape comes off when taking a shower can he just use compression sleeves during the whole day to reduce swelling?
im 16 and a badminton player. I often get shoulder knee and groin pains. would it suit to apply k tape for those pains?
+Dishani Sandanayake I have a taping technique for the shoulder and groin area - however it might be an idea to see someone like me rather than applying tape to where it hurts..........Good luck, JG
I have hoffas fat pad. Would thishelp support it
I have arthritis and chondromalcia/patella tracking issues. In addition, I have torn a meniscus. I do PT to strengthen quads, but use taping when I play tennis. Is the general Patellafemoral taping method the correct method for me? Do you find any preference in tape? Just using plain strips or in the pre-cut "Y" type strips? I really appreciate your videos. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
The taping technique I show is probably the best one to try for you and help reduce some of your symptoms. Its not the overall answer to your problem as the technique is only helping the pain but not treating the cause but I am sure it will help. I tend to use one roll of tape 5cm by 5 meters and I individually cut and design the length and shape of the tape for the patients.
Is this method preferred over your video which shows [2] Y pieces of tape used? One starting below the knee, splitting to either side and the other starting above the knee? What is the difference in applying the tape with stretch vs laying it on with no stretch
I experience pain in knee which tend to emerge up in the quadriceps muscle when running, would this technique suit me well also?
Thanks for message and worth a try, regards JG
John Gibbons a
Hey John! I´d like to apply this on my own knee myself. Do I sit up and let my leg hang down relaxed off a chair or bench? Or rather have the leg streched? Thanks from Germany! :-)
You can have your knee off the edge of a chair if easier and tape like i show, regards JG
My partner's physio said they were taping up to lift the kneecap, I've bought some k tape to reapply their taping...how do we need to tweak your video to do this? Thanks for the video, really helpful.
I would tape like I show in the video and see if it helps, regards JG
@@JohnGibbons thanks a lot John, we were taping up this afternoon with your video back and forth getting it perfect, she says thanks so much and there's less pain, walking better and feeling mentally happier about things, hat off to you. Thanks from me too. New skills !!!!
I am 33, I play soccer and I have swelling around my knee. What type of taping technique you suggest I use. Will it help reduce the swelling? Thank you
I have a video that shows you how to apply tape for swelling to the Knee, search my channel for it as it is problem the best one. Regards JG
Going to do this for my 15 year old with Osgood Schlotter …what is the best type of tape available in US?
can i use the same application for chondromalacia? i use a knee bracelet all the time and it works fine but I want to try kinesiology tapes. thanks
Yes you can as will help, regards JG
@@JohnGibbons Thank you
can we tape on our own or do we need to consult a physiotherapist to tape it for us?
+Dishani Sandanayake You can tape your own knee, I have a similar video to the one above where the patient is taping her own knee with my help. Good luck, JG
How about taping for medial meniscus support please? I have had surgery to remove multiple meniscus tears on inner medial meniscus. I am quite off balance now when walking.
If you have a look at MCL / Meniscus taping as i have the technique on my page. regards JG
Can this work for the meniscus. If so how would you tape it?
Try this one in video as might help the meniscus but remember you are only treating the symptoms so if there is a meniscal tear then it might need further treatment. Regards, JG
Answer me please. Hello i have osd for about 9 years. Im 21 now and i still have it. I often stay at home so not doing physical activity is included. Its really big like the 1/3 or top of an egg or half of medium egg. I do trekking max. 2 times a month and walk very often. Is that help to reduce the swore or just support it? i only feel a pleasant pain when i hardly massage it thats all. what happen if i dont do surgery? do i have possibilities to have tumor, broken knee, artrities or worst loose my entire feet?
The tape will help reduce the swelling so worth a try, Good luck, Regards JG
I have the exakt same fkn problem like exact
Does this work for fat pad impingement
I suffer from osgood schlatter syndrome and patella femoral syndrome and have a lot of pain when I sit for a long time. Can this apply technique help me release the pain whilst sitting?
The technique will help but only to reduce the symptoms, try and see someone who can advise, Good luck, Regards JG
I already went to a doctor and now i go to a physiotherapist. But it can help to reduce the pain whilst sitting as i am studying?
My son is a wrestler, I put KT tape on his knee and it came off in the middle of practice. Can it not be used for wrestling or did I do it wrong? I followed th he video on how to apply it.
It needs to be applied to dry skin first and a few hours before exercise just to make sure it stays on. Try the H20 tape by Rocktape as that should say on for longer. Good luck, regards JG
Good
Thanks, regards JG
Have arthritis and major pain in my MCL. Ortho gave me a knee brace but it doesn't stay up so I was thinking tape instead.. will this taping work on MCL 😊
Its worth a try as might help - regards JG
Hi I am 14 year old suffering from osgood schlatters can I get the tape from my doctor and has it to be the certain colours as shown on your youtube video ?
+Aaron Mitchell You can get the tape from rocktape.net as that is the best tape to use
My daughter has been diagnosed with Osgood schlatter. She has severe pain is 10 years old with a ballet exams ahead. Dr told no excersice for 2 weeks. But she has to practice how can we bandage to support and reduce pain
I'm 19 and unfortunately I put on weight (about 9 kilos over 5 months) and my knees started to hurt in the area of patellas (not only in one place, it changes, and it doesn't hurt all the time) - it may be caused by this putting on? And can I tape myself as it is shown in this video? Will it help me to heal from this pain? Obviously, I will try to lose weight. It is very important to me because in 1,5 month time I am going on a pilgrimage and I don't want to damage my knees more.
Thanks for the message and the taping technique i demonstrate is worth trying especially as it might help reduce the knee pain, good luck. JG
How about MRI SCAN is it important? or if l use it is very nice
Of course an MRI is important but I doubt all my patients with knee pain will want to pay for a scan as most of the issues will regarding knee pain resolve with some treatment. regards JG
What if there’s only pain above the knee not inferior portion , is the shorter tape at the inferior needed
Try the same one as I demonstrate in video and see how it feels as can still help, regards JG
Hi there! I just saw your video and was wondering if I should tape my knee. It clicks and there is pain on the top of my knee and on the outside of it. My left knee. I'm overweight/obese and I'm trying to lose the weight but I can't do squats because it's just so painful. Will the tape help me walk better to lose more weight and do you know what I might be suffering from? Best Regards from the USA and Stay safe Doctor! :)
There tape will help reduce some of the symptoms, so will help for sure and i would avoid the squats as its obviously exacerbating the issue, walking is one of the best ways to control and lose excess weight, regards JG
Is it suitable if my knee make strange noise everytime i move my legs. And when my kneesbmake a sound, i can feel some of my legiments or nerve idk its kind of moving
A lot of knees click and crack and typically is a ligament or tendon flicking over - if not painful then I personally wouldn't worry about it, regards jG
Hi Mr. Jhon !
the ribbon is in an x-shape on my knee. the way you do it in the video is more effective?
i have osgood schlatter
The way i do beings is learnt through experience of treating thousands of patients, regards jG
@@JohnGibbons thanks for your answer!!!
You forgot to mention that the tips of the first strip are supposed to have absolutely zero stretch when laying it down (as with all strips).
Thats very kind and remember I wrote two books on the subject - regards JG
@@JohnGibbons No problem, man. I know when something is second--or first--nature, sometimes the basics don't come through every time.
Thanks for all you do.
Cheers, mate.
What tape is used in the video? Is it kt tape?
It is a tape by a company called Rocktape and it is the best one i think on the market
thank you and best wishes from 3rd-year student of Osteopathy at ESO in Boxley, U.K !!
and what strength do i need ?
what taping would you recommend for pre-patella bursitis? If any?
Jon Greenfield Look at the video I have for haematoma taping for the knee ss that one is better for bursitis
Good evening sir
Sir what is logic behind stretching of tape,100%,50,to 20% stretch
If you take out all the stretch of the tape then it will provide a lot more stability, I use that to stabilise ankle inversion sprain - however, ktape is not really been designed for that as such as it is functional taping so means you can wear during sports and activities so it cannot restrict the motion of that limb, which is what sports tape does. Less is sometimes best in terms of application of stretch as the tape is there to provide a lift to the tissues and provide some support, which potentially can assist in lymphatic drainage. There are not many studies to show exactly why the different types of stretch to the tape. Hope that helps, regards JG
I have chondromalacia patella and am on my feet for hours at a time. Knee starts off with pain but when it swells it does not hurt anymore. Is this the best for me or your 5 finger taping on another video?
J Carson I would try the technique I show in this video as it is probably the best one for you. Good luck!
I spend a lot of time on my feet and walking around, as well as bending at the knee (often over bending) when I am at work. I have started to have knee pain both when I am at work as well as when I am at rest. The pain is mainly above my patella, and the area seems a bit swollen. Would this be the best taping technique for me? (I also try to ice when I get home as well as propping up my feet when I am on breaks (as my feet also hurt from my job, but it seems to help my knee some too))
Thanks for the message and the taping technique is worth a try at least as it will probably help you.
Okay, where can I purchase the tape? Both my knees are bad, my right shoulder and elbow, left ankle and hip. And, for how long do you do this technique? This video created more questions than answers.
Look at rocktape.com as best ktape, regards JG
I had a motorbike accident, the car hit me from the back i think the first thing happen s that i fell on my knee, the out outer soft part of the knee joint gut a hit and the bone was shown so it had stitches, after 2 month i still feel pain when i walk and feel like its swollen and when i stand for a long period of time and i walk my knee dont move as normal its slow like it needs oil, i went for a run couple days ago and when running there was no pain.
is the Kinesiology Tape can heal it and i can move as normal?
Maher Alsayid The KTaping technique will help reduce swelling and pain but it won't actually fix the overall problem and yes you will be able to move you knee as normal and you can leave the tape on for 3-5 days. God luck!
im 19 and knee pains comes often once a week without any specific reason, would this help if I use it?
+Don Vito Corleone Its worth a try but try and see someone as well as they might be able to suggest something to help your knee pain retailer than taping it every week. Good luck, JG
It would be nice if you also say the length off the strip i should use. 🙏🏼
Why? Patients are at different heights so you design the length of tape for them, regards JG
@@JohnGibbons i see
hi . I am 23 years old. i operated from osgood schalatter. 1 years later. my doctor did PRP NEEDLE my knee but i still feel ache . i have MR and i can send your e-mail my MR. Can you suggest you tape me kinesio band? how?
+ali talun Thanks for the message and look at Rocktape.net for the brand of tape as I recommend them, try the technique on my video as that might help, if not try and see someone like me where you live. Regards JG
Is this tape for treatment
Part of treatment but the tape will only help reduce some of the symptoms, regards jG
NO SE VE BIEN, SÓLO ALGUNAS PARTES.

Thanks for message and I am sure you can get tape from someone, regards JG
I'm 24 years old. Doctors do not recommend surgery. Do you have the surgery from this disease?
EFE Mırzabeq People don't normally need surgery for these conditions, so if you have one of them, then I am sure you will be fine with the right treatment. good luck
Has anyone had any experience wearing catchers shin guards over this tape?
They should be fine as the tape is very thin, regards JG
What should that do?
Will only reduce some of their symptoms and some patients feel it provides some stability, regards JG
@@JohnGibbons really? How is that? It‘s just rubber glued to skin?

Thats good to know - regards JG
And the quadricep expansion area is where exactly? 🙄
Dont understand the question, regards JG
Umm not sure how else to say it... Where is the quadricep extention area🤔
should i shave for this? im pre harry
You can trim the hair rather than shave as tape will stick better with less hair but you don't need to completely shave the area. Hope that helps, JG
Plaster name???
Rocktape is the product I use, regards JG
My tapes always roll away when i am wearing pants... any tips for that?
Try Rocktape as sticks better - regards JG
@@JohnGibbons thank you so much, will do!
