KT Tape: Carpal Tunnel
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 июл 2024
- Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused when there is pressure in the carpal tunnel (a space in the wrist) that compresses the median nerve, causing the nerve to function improperly. Because the carpal tunnel is surrounded by bone on one side, and an inflexible ligament on the other, if pressure builds, the nerve has nowhere to go and becomes pinched.
When carpal tunnel syndrome occurs, the normal functions of muscle control and sensory communications in the hand are impaired. Problems that can occur in carpal tunnel syndrome include:
Pain
Numbness
Tingling
Weakness
The KT Tape application as described below can help stabilize the carpel tunnel aiding in the normal function of the medina nerve. If KT tape does not bring relief, heavier bracing may be suitable. If neither of these bring relief, seek professional medical attention where additional measures can be taken including physical therapy, injections or surgery.

This saved my life!! My carpal tunnel had me in tears the other day and couldn’t function at all all the bulky braces made doing my job impossible!! Thank you so much!
ME TOO!!!! Plus I could not wear my watch when I wear that brace! K T tape has saved me with my knee ..I don't know why I have suffered for years and just thought tonight OHHH put it on the wrist!
Thank you KT Tape. Have CTS in my right wrist due to piano, and being a webmaster. My fiance uses KT tape on a leg injury and suggested I try it... Been on for two hours now using this application method and it's working. Pain relief finally!
I should have bought stock in your company years ago. I had no idea how much of your product I would consume!
@KatyBloom I legit said the same the other day 😂🙌🏼🙌🏼😊 I use it so much as well
It lifts the skin up and away from the soft tissue beneath which helps open up the area, decrease pressure and pain while supporting and stabilizing.
@Exmir Af They took the links down from the site. can you explain what it was?
Wow!!!! Slept thru the night without any numbness! Can't wait to try the pro tape.
Got diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel recently. The thick bulky braces works but can be irritating sometimes especially when I’m doing my tasks. So I was advised to use some kt tape on my hand & *I LOVE IT* it helps lessen my pain & it’s not bulky at all, plus it comes in a lot of fun different colors 💕
This cured my carpal tunnel! No need for surgery! Thank you so much!!!
This helps so much. I was wearing a bulky brace at work but it made doing my job (cook for a school / paraprofessional) difficult. This taping technique relieved the pain in my wrist/fingers and allows for more range of motion.
My only issue is the tape that I wrap around my wrist almost immediately starts peeling off. It’s like it doesn’t do well adhering to itself. I don’t touch the adhesive side at all while applying and I don’t put any tension on the anchors so it’s not pulling due to tension, it’s just coming off.
Another video mentioned a spray called ultra stick. It said to spray the area and let it dry before application of the tape.
this is definitely worth trying for people before going straight into surgery for carpal tunnel
especially when the source of the carpal tunnel like symptoms don't always originate in the wrist
How many hours usage. Can I use that in the nighttime when I won't be using my hands much?
I work on an assembly line and i get severe carpal tunnel and this worked wonders. I love KT tape and these videos are great
So it works cause I was thinking about trying it
Trovo buona questa prova x il tunnel carpale . versione italiana grazie
This is exactly why I’m gonna start taping lol
Yes. Although I would recommend the Pro version because it will do much better in wet conditions. Typically the Pro will last 3-7 days. If you're in the pool everyday I would expect closer to the 3 day mark.
Mine gave up on my shoulder in 2 days. The regular stays for about 3. Maybe different for different types of skin. Dry, oily, etc.
Any tips on how to do this properly without a second set of hands?
using KTtape first time today and HUGE difference right away. So much nicer than having the big clumsy wrist brace thing I normally have to wear when it acts up.
For you, it would have more utility wearing it outside of activity. It helps improve circulation and reduces swelling around a nerve. It's definitely not as effective as a stand alone treatment, but part of the process along with manual therapy and mobilization to reduce nerve entrapment and improve neural gliding.
If you are over the age of 60 and you have carpal tunnel symptoms and you have not started anything new (hobbies, exercises, work) that you think is the cause, please see your doctor and look into a disease called amyloidosis. Carpal tunnel can be an early symptom and it's a very serious disease. My father had carpal tunnel for months and they missed the amyloidosis until he started to have heart arrhythmia problems.
Can you tell me more about this?
Thank you so so much for the tutorial! I'm a freelance writer and when I have a lot of work, that entire area hurts like hell. I combined it with the thumb tapping and it has really helped to ease the soreness. I only ended upcovering the hands and writst with a cotton bandage because it started peeling off very quickly.
Thanks for letting us know! Try these tips in our video release that help with some of the best practices for preventing the tape from peeling prematurely: ruclips.net/video/hX47dApoKO4/видео.html
Although you have to be extra careful in a high-exposure area like the hand/fingers.
To me that sounds more like tendinitis than carpal tunnel
here's a few ideas for treating carpal tunnel syndrome at home
Do stretches - the pain is casued by tension in the nerve
get expert advice as it can lead to permanent damage
(I learned these and why they work on Dariks pain destroyer website )
@carlamalven It's probably a small application issue. Here are some tips that will help it stick:
1) Skin Prep - Clean the area with rubbing alcohol.
2) If you cut the tape, round those edges back out.
3) Stretch your joint before taping.
4) No tension on the ends! if you stretch the ends it will come off.
5) Friction rub. after applying tape- rub over it with your hand to make sure edges are down and to activate the adhesive.
6) Apply your tape at least 30 minutes before activity.
Thank you for the added information. How long should the tape stay in place?
Tried these & its amazing! It was the first time in years I've been able to sleep without my fingers going numb, even when I was wearing a brace! I love it! Just ordered the extreme so I can wear it to work as a barista bc im constantly washing dishes and the pro just didn't last! 🤞
We used to make the tape with the split down the middle but we don't make it anymore. If you need to split the tape you can cut it.
Start off with the wrist version and if that doesn't give you the relief you need go to our "ask an expert" forum on the website and they can customize an application for you.
Is there taping instructions for cyclist palsy caused by cubital tunnel syndrome (ulnar nerve)?
Thank you exactly what I need I already have the tape
You guys should show the other side of the wrist, wasn't sure if it was suppose to wrap all the way around or not, or if he put the pink one on at an angle.
@ArizonaMMJ This sounds like cubital tunnel syndrome or ulnar nerve entrapment. This is a hard one to fix directly with KT tape as it originates from long-term pressure on the ulnar nerve. Your best bet would be to figure out what pressure is causing it and pad the area where your wrist/arm makes contact. This is mostly an ergonomic issue.
I only have the tingling, cold numbness in my index left finger? Would this still work as I was always told the median nerve controls the thumb, index and middle?
Why not explain what and why you're putting the tape there for carpal tunnel?
Can someone tell me if this would be a fire hazard for a chef to wear? my husband has constantly for the last 15 years had to have his wrist bent downwards in order to hold and use his knife properly. He definitely has carpal tunnel in both his hands now and I'm looking for something he is able to wear to support his wrists at work. Thank you
Can you please make a tutorial for a trigger finger?
I'm a hairdresser and often time we deal with strain in the wrist and this is an excellent idea to use without using a big restrictive brace. My question is, is that will it be sealed enough to prevent little tiny hair from sticking and getting into it. And also deal with continuing getting our hands wet.
If you will send an email to support@kttape . com they will make sure that you get some tape that sticks.
with this treatment we should use one or twice?
Wish he showed the dorsal side positioning of the tape that was placed over the carpal tunnel and around the wrist.
Will that help if I tape my wrist and play in a table tennis match? I have CTS on my right hand that has been causing me so much problem in the sport.
As I don't have the split in the middle, is it okay if I don't use it, or should I cut it.
That really makes me happy thanks
Hi, do you have any videos on how to apply KT tape to someone who experiences Raynaud's in their fingers????
Hi, I noticed that it looks like there is some kind of slit down the middle of the tape longways when it is being applied over the top and bottom of the arm. Does the tape come with that slit or is it something that needs to be cut? (I am a huge fan of the tape, I am in school to become a physical therapist and I use it all the time!)
Thank you for the video…. I have large fingers and the holes I’ve cut for two fingers won’t hold. Could I get the same relief if I just cut one hole, middle finger?
Thank you again!
Would the wrist version or carpal version of using KT tape be better if you were doing backbridges and back handsprings?
Very interesting
Can you please suggest me how to use tape on my third finger and then in continuation of the palm till the end.
This is for tenosinovitico sinoviali
When I use the tape it get detached with my hand moment and umidity
Thanks
This helped me so much!
Excellent
I have carpal tunnel and i was wondering if this will still work in the water because i play water polo, and I have been having trouble throwing, catching etc. will this still help? and how long does it last?
Can kids have carpel tunnel? I asked my coach and she said that its the same nerve that causes carpel tunnel but she says i'm too young.
*I'd also add some exercises - there's some effective ones in **_Treat Your Own Carpal Tunnel Syndrome_** at Amazon.*
has anyone tried this after cts realise surgery?
I have bad wrist pain on the outside of the wrist. Under the pinky. Would this application work well for that?
Can this also be used for tendonitis?
I scoop ice cream for a living, so this is perfect!
+Julie Maillet This is perfect XD.

Followed the instructions to the letter. Ktape wouldnt stick to itself at all to complete the wrist. After a couple hours the second strip applied began to roll up as well. Waste of money.
My man's a little low energy today, hope every thing is okay
How does this work for those in healthcare positions. I practice routine hand hygiene and wear gloves....wouldn't this be an issue?
I just have pain and around 95% movement in upper and lower side wrist.
Will this help me.
Movement by the other hand is possible.
So should I do up and down 100% from my left hand.
For now.
And later in sometime, would I be able to do it automatically from my right hand.?
Can this help with pain in the 1st,2nd,3rd fingers
Hi, I play the piano (3+ hours a day). I have chronic tendonosis in my forearms and very sore wrists. Would using this taping technique help the pain I feel and support my wrists? Or should I be trying another KT tape technique? thanks Jen
this demomstration cant be applied to injured wrist.
I used a velcro wrist support.
What does KT tape do
i have a cyst on my wrist and i have a horse show this weekend and my bf is gunna try this while we tape my knee up too beacouse the cyst is very inflamed and is killing me
There's clearly tension on the 3rd wrap...but we're not told how much...also 3 strips times 2 wrists = $$$$$$
We don't but you could visit our "ask an expert" forum on our website to get some expert advice.
2 Years Ago i Sprained my Wrist Now i Have pain When i bend it on the left part of my wrist its like a ball when i touch it hurts and its really tender too , does this help
@carlamalven ur right, this shit is for guy who get injured playing WoW, not for athletes or something like that, I used a couple during a rugby match and were useless...
if you don't use tension for the front and the back of the hand, WHAT'S THE POINT OF HAVING THEM??
They're used to stabilize the wrist while allowing maximum movement. Pretty easy to figure that out by Reading the description above. Why would tension be the solution, in your opinion?
@@johannest3628 to pull the impinging wrist bones apart, the reverse of the hand clench that causes pain. To stretch the tendon that would be cut in the surgical release.
I cut it in quarters. I cut the length in half across to make 2shorts, then down the long center of the 2. I anchor one on the edges of the palm below the pointer and pinkie, streched tight across the back of the hand. The other similarly positioned lower, anchored at the heel of the hand and base where thumb meets wrist. I was hoping to find a way to keep the tape anchors from coming loose from my palm overnight. I must be sweaty! Lol. This video seems to be the opposite of what I'm trying to achieve. My immobilizing wrist braces are to prevent curling my wrists down into claws, but are bulky, closed and sweaty as well.
@@meanqkie2240 Well ok, makes sense. I'm guessing this video is done in the simplest possible way and there are obviously more intricate ways of applying, stretching and stabilizing. But I get your point. :)
instant relief
Gde je ovo imalo da se ovako leči?
I play softball and have the carpal pain in my throwing hand and I think the tape would be too slick to throw with it on any solutions for that situation?
Chelsey Stull wear a glove over it
is there a video for Cubital Tunnel?
Where to buy the carpal tunnel tape
That's great thanks. Then I will follow you
thank you, now I see I did it wrong :/ :D too much tension in wrong places
Are those vice gloves?
Why is it that you are not applying any tension. Would you mind explaining this? What is the difference between adding tension and not?
He's applying the tension through joint manipulation. I.e. bending the wrist and applying the tape. If the wrist were relaxed and straight. I.e. lying on a flat surface. The tension would come from stretching the tape.
Would this method prevent trigger finger as well?
This doesn't make sense. I don't see how this helps release pressure of the Transverse carpal ligament. This tape may help neutralize the position of wrist when relaxed but other than this I see no point.
Any RCTs shows that KT taping is better than placebo?!
My thoughts exactly! I had aomeone apply KT Tape "properly" to me knee that was hurting, felt absolutely nothing, other than tape on my leg lol #pseudoscience
There's quite of research that has been doing and more being conducted, too, to measure the effects of kinesiology taping methods. Here is one link that includes some of these studies: www.theratape.com/education-center/kinesiology-taping-research/
It has a lot to do with the application method. We just released several dozen new videos to show application instructions, including this general taping tips video. ruclips.net/video/hX47dApoKO4/видео.html
Where can I get this?
KT tape is not split in the middle anymore?
Nope. We found that more coverage is better and splitting the tape decreases the amount of adhesive holding that piece on by half so now we just use two full pieces.
+qp2pendejo everyone with carpal tunnel should try this...

guess not? its easy to split it yourself though
@@KTTapevideos more like cutting production costs lol

First off I would recommend the Pro because it will do much better with the water. As far as the tiny little hairs go, I've never tried cutting hair with the tape on before :). If you'd like a sample email us at support@kttape.com and we'll send you one to try!
where can i buy this online? link please
Totally user friendly

This and most of the applications require a second person to apply it with perhaps the exception of the knee application. So who is volunteering !!??
How long does the tape last on use?
Alex Vázquez because KT Tape is od really bad quality it lasts about max. 1 day. Other Tapes last about 1-2 weeks!
Chris Konushevci kt tape lasts more than a day. What r u talking about? If urs is only lasting a day then u have put it on wrong or are intentionally sabotaging it
Alex Vázquez it depends on the kind you buy. The outside package tells you how long it lasts.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I have it in both hands
Sorry to hear you are dealing with Carpal Tunnel - you may also check out our updated video here for this issue - ruclips.net/video/iYHGd6orV4E/видео.html
Why not make the tape with pre cut holes for fingers for the carpel tunnel injury?
pretty cool but alot of work, you just slip mine on....
❤️
Visit kttape . com. You'll want to remove the space of course.
I like how this is for carpal tunnel, but if you have carpal tunnel flexing / extending your hand like that causes immense pain/numbness, so stupid. If you’re having a flare up you literally can’t do that lol.
Don't wait till your house is on fire to buy a fire detector..
your doing it wrong. please see a licensed professional like an occupational therapist for training. Ps you made a tourniquet wrapping the pink on itself despite no tension, the way the tape is made, makes it into a tourniquet
Do you even know how a tourniquet works? It needs tension all the way around to cut off blood supply....this definitely doesn't do that.
he's a PT....
He's also not very smart, any PT would know that carpal tunnel can also be caused from a pinched median nerve anywhere along the arm that includes the brachial plexus. So if any of the nerves from C1-T1 are pinched it could give you symptoms of carpal tunnel.
bluedestroyer87 nope! remember that the median nerve comes ONLY from c5-t1 nerve roots (brachial plexus)
@@bluedestroyer87 ..but he is talking about true carpel tunnel syndrome. Its just about relief, not remedy.

This stuff does not stick! You would think something mean to be worn for days would have more stick and I'm not only talking about sticking to the skin. It's not even sticking to to the tape
