KT Tape: Golfer's Elbow
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 янв 2012
- Golfer's elbow, or medial epicondylitis, is a common overuse injury of the inside portion of the elbow. The condition is similar to tendonitis and results in inflammation of the tendons as they attach to the bony protrusion of the inside elbow.
Among golfers, this condition is most prevalent at the beginning of the season or when there is a sudden increase in activity. Causes can include poor body mechanics, improperly fit equipment, and tightness in the muscles of the forearm. Any activity wherein the hand is turned out while gripping and striking puts the individual at risk of developing golfer's elbow.
Pain is felt on the inside portion of the elbow and often radiates down the inside of the forearm and sometimes into the hand. The pain is made worse when gripping and can range from slight to excruciating.
The condition usually goes away over time with rest. By relieving pressure, relaxing the associated muscles, and increasing circulation, KT Tape will be help in speeding that process and managing the pain so you can remain active. Remember to ice after activity and lightly massage and stretch the muscles of the forearm as well.

Great clear and thorough instructions!
Nice! Thanks for letting us know!
One of the great uses of the tape is for injury prevention. It won't cause any atrophy.
You're very welcome!
True, this app is really much easier to apply if you have someone to help you.
It totally worked with a compression sleeve so I couldn't lock out my elbow took 3rd in javelin at state thanks
Yes. Let us know how it goes!
This is perfect, it's so hard to do it by yourself though!
thanks, great video, managed to apply it to myself 🙂
Instant relief!!
Very good.
It may.
I would suggest a single piece over that area with max of 5% tension
thx!
It should. Let us know how it goes!
I read your forum trying to figure out how to tape this without a helper. But I don't understand it. Is it possible you make a video how one person can put this tape on? Thanks a million.
karate gal this is weird since it was 2 yrs ago but u can tear off one end of the tape and Apply it normally just peel off the paper and stretch and slowly apply/ bending with your elbow
It's a piece of cake for one person to apply - if you have 3 hands.
I was thinking about using this while playing golf. I have never had tendonitis but do ocassionally get pains in my elbow. Would it be wise to use this in order to help prevent injury, or would that cause it to get weak once i stop using it?
Will this help for a slight pain from a minor hyperextension from the inner elbow?
Nice build - lots of gym time - ;)
It's tough to do alone. I'm not sure how you would go about it.
Sir this .treatment temporary or full recover?
Ok, so how does one apply it by themselves?
I would recommend you visit our website and go to our "ask an expert" forum and one of our pros will get you a customized application.
What is your website?
Would this be the same taping I would use for Pronator Teres strain? I injured it doing bicep concentration curls. PS: Would hitting the tape ends w/a quick shot from a blow dryer help the adhesion? Thanks!
You might want to adjust the tape a little for Pronator Teres strain. One popular method is to target tape placement where you have pain.
The blow dryer idea might work, but rubbing the tape will probably help better than the heat from the blow dryer. The best thing to help is to use alcohol wipes to clean the skin before using tape, which removes skin oils that often weaken the tape.

Since the last round of instructional videos we have put a lot of energy in to developing highly effective taping techniques that are also as simple and easy to apply as can be. This application is the result of that effort. We continue to work hard to bring you effective apps in their simplest form. Thanks for the great question!
What if I have both golfer's elbow and tennis elbow?
Would have to use the whole roll on your arms
Find a new sport with less elbow requirements 💪
Take up arm wrestling.
Anyone have any tips for applying this by myself?
So which KT golfer's elbow tape job should I be paying attention to?
+Ace Gray the website doesn't seem to be working
If you don't have precut strips, how long do you cut the strips?
Is this the same taping for pain above the elbow kind of at the bottom of the bicep on the interior of the arm? I'm a badminton player at an advanced level. I've been getting pain where my bicep meets the inside part of the elbow. Almost in between the bicep and tricep in the hollow section. I hope this makes sense.
risico131 Im having the same thing as well. Did you end up finding any new info about this?
We recommend the new technique.
I'm a gymnast and I got diagnosed with medial epicondylitis (golfer's elbow) yesterday (Tuesday) and I have a gymnastics meet this weekend that I HAVE to compete in. (My doc said I can choose to not compete if it hurts too much).,... So I may have to use this. Saving to watch later so I can watch it later.
How are you now ?
You may need a customized application. I would visit our website and go to the "ask an expert" forum and one of our pros will hook you up.
Esta técnica es para fase aguda ?? o es la de Y ??

And can this be used underneath a long sleeve leotard?
How would you wrap the bottom of your forearm?

Dylan Borges did you try it? I’m considering getting some.
I play baseball to. How is the problem now?
Man I wish I had my own physio
So wrap a whole roll of tape around my elbow. Got it.
What is the difference between placing the tape like this and placing it like you have showed in the other tennis elbow video?
Colors are for personal preference....they do not mean anything.
@@aggirl52703 there were only two tapes placed on that one. This one has three.
Tennis elbow is a completely different tendon. This is for the tendon connected to the bony part at the most interior part of your elbow, or Medial Epicondylitis, tennis elbow would be somewhere on the outward area of the elbow, not sure, but maybe the full opposite side. (8 years later)
There are several components to treating tennis elbow at home. One plan I found which succeeds in merging these is the Freds Elbow Helper (check it out on google) without a doubt the most helpful plan that I have ever seen. Check out the interesting info .
what doe's the different tape colors mean
Othman Salem I believe it's to make it easier for the viewer to identify which strip went where and in what order.
cant really tape this myself..
Why do they always say 80 stretch not 100?
She has nice arms.
why is the arm in 90 degrees while taping it ? kind regards, Eric
Hi Eric, here is an updated Golfer's Elbow video that we just released: ruclips.net/video/mhHUOdguPSE/видео.html
Modified tennis & golfer's worked out better. Arm feel smore relaxed
Yeah good luck keeping this stuff on if you sweat. Plus, I challenge anyone that says you can do this application on your own to post a video proving it.
Here's a video we just released with a self-taping method for Golfer's Elbow, showing Chris Harper taping himself: ruclips.net/video/mhHUOdguPSE/видео.html
If you're having trouble getting your tape to stick through sweat, let's see if we can change that. Under most conditions, the tape will easily stick through sweat when properly applied. One thing to keep in mind is that everyone's skin can react very differently to tape. For skin types that have difficulty with adhesives, we recommend our PRO Extreme tape (www.kttape.com/kt-tape-pro-extreme/) with an extremely strong adhesive. Here is a video with some taping tips that you could follow to make sure that your tape sticks effectively, including prepping the skin and ensuring that you put your tape on 30-60+ minutes before rigorous activity to give the adhesive enough time to set: ruclips.net/video/hX47dApoKO4/видео.html
KT Tape This helps. Thanks. I did buy the pro tape. I will follow these instructions and see what happens.
Was it PRO or PRO Extreme that you bought? Our PRO tape is our best seller, and our PRO Extreme is a newer variety with even stronger adhesive.
KT Tape Pro. I didn't see the Extreme when I purchased. I guess I will try that when I run out of what I have.
Great. Yeah, see how those taping tips help and if you still need more adhesive strength try the Extreme.
What's the difference to kinesiology taping
김남수 kt tape= kinesiology tape
Can we play badminton after wearing this .I am a professional.... Is it waterproof..
i need K tape
Did the director ask the girl to pretend to be a robot? What in the world.
I am assuming that this is a bracing technique, if so why not use ordinary tape. I keep seeing videos off guys putting tape over tape??? Kinesio tape was designed to create more blood and lymph flow to areas lacking in blood flow for example the tendon on the epicondyle. putting K tape over K tape is off no use whatsoever?
All. Related
Actually you don't need 3 tapes. You only need 1 tape and that's the blue one(as shown in the video) but shorter. It don't have to be that long. I have been doing it and it all good. in fact I don't have to waste so many tapes.
If that works for you, go for it. Everyone's pain is slightly different. Here is our new Golfer's Elbow video: ruclips.net/video/mhHUOdguPSE/видео.html
No

Sound like you're dealing with some neck pain - here's a video that you may be right for you - ruclips.net/video/yG6QK8EwWl0/видео.html
Cute girl. ;)
Big ol roll of duck tape will do the same thing.
Right, because duck tape is flexible and has actual effect...
mikeyla's facebook please
+Victor De La Rosa why? she owes you money?
Too bad Michala doesn't speak...bet she has a nice voice. Why is this application so different from the one in the video from 2 years ago?
Ok, sorry, but that looks like a major pain in the ass, especially if you have to do it everyday. And MOST people don't have a trainer on hand to apply the tape.
did you watch the video? It takes 2 minutes... and most people have girlfriend/boyfriends.
Not true. I paste both tennis and golfer's elbow by myself and it is perfect. Also, a KT tape or Rock tape actually last up to 10 days with daily showering and workout (If pasted right).
However, it is usually removed after 5 days as the tension of the tape has weaken.
+RoyalCaoCao you do this by yourself?? Impressive, I'm intrigued and its to the point where I have to stop playing basketball and weight lifting completely now the pain is becoming sharp and acute.
CloverPickingHarp Well, having someone to paste is still the best, but then, you need to spend time educating he/she on how the tape works and the elasticity.
Personally, my golfer + tennis elbow was extremely serious and I stopped lifting for 1 full year. Even after resuming, there's still pain occasionally.
Since it's sharp and acute for you, I would definitely suggest you to rest and ice.
When the pain lessens, start massaging and foam rolling gently.
If it's within your fiance, definitely seek for a sports doctor, be it physio, dry needing, etc.
RoyalCaoCao do you put both on together? Is that okay?
will this help with little leaguer’s elbow, or throwing elbow?
