- Here's one way to apply kinesiology tape (*yourself) if you have carpal tunnel syndrome.
1. Cut 2 strips of kinesiology tape : amzn.to/2sZ0Ipn
- Length of palm and length from thumb to pinky
2. Cut a 2 inch "Y" on the long piece.
3. Place the "Y" legs on your palm. Extend your wrist.
4. Apply 25% stretch with wrist extended.
5. Lay end flat without stretch.
6. Apply a cross support piece (small strip) with no stretch (keep wrist extended).
7. Follow wearing guidelines based on tape (24 to 48 hours)

Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!!!!
Thank you for doing it on yourself!!!! 💡great thinking💡
Thank you for this video, I've been in extreme pain & I'm desperate for relief without resorting to pain medication. Crossing my fingers (metaphorically of course) that this helps.
Great help for this pregnant mom of twins!
This is good! It was an easy instruction for diy! Thank you!
Thank you, easy to follow
Thanks very much! Very good with this video for taping by myself because I haven't anyone to help me.
Thanks so much for this instruction.
This is very helpful. I’m a massage therapist and want to wrap my wrist when not in use. Thanks
Thank you so much! At the moment this is relieving a little but of pain for me. Can you make more videos focusing on the flexor part of the wrist? Anything that pulls at my thumb seems to add to my discomfort so I have been avoiding those methods.
Thank you - watched a couple of these videos and this is the best yet - thanks for showing how to do it for yourself and also I like your method 👍🏽
Thanks for watching!
Thanks it gave immediate relief can get back to being able to lift my baby now!
Awesome! So glad to hear that 😁

Thanks for sharing
Trying to get tendon inflammation to heal quicker, I find, is like trying to cure a canker sore. It just doesn't work. It just needs time, and try not to trigger the pain. Doing all these kinesiology techniques and all these tapes and stretches just aggravates it of anything. Save your $10 people, if you wanna wrap it just use gauze or something. Having it wrapped maybe helps by reminding you not to move it a certain way but it doesn't matter what you wrap it with or what percentage of stretch you put on it. It's all placebo. It feels like it's working the tendon/inflammation so people assume its doing something. But really, you don't want to be feeling that, ideally you would keep your wrist perfectly still and not feel anything during the healing process, which will take as long as it's going to despite your efforts. Try keep it still, or brace it entirely, and give it a few weeks. I won't say k-tape and/or kinesiology is a scam, but it's _maybe_ a notch above chiropractors.
Best thing to do is preventative measures for next time. Stretch often, stay hydrated, blah blah.
Thank you🙇♀️
Easy instructions thank you. It's perfect for when I draw
Exactly what I’ve been using it for
Glad you found it helpful!
This is nice cause it uses less type but after trying it I find that the other 3 strip method with finger holes gives more support and relief
Using the video to apply the same technique using Athletic tape. Definitely a decent learning tool, and I could use one more resource, particularly because I think I pulled something at work tonight, in the affect hand with C.T. Thanks for the help.
I just did this for my wrist, it feels different so I hope that means I did it right
Im gonna try this thanks! the KT tape vid wants you to use 3 full strips and you need help applying it. thanks
TY
How long do you have to keep using kenisiotape for carpal tunnel?
I have carpel tunnel in both hands but I also have a pinched ulnar nerve and if there is any tape on the outer portion of the right hand irritates my pinkie finger do you have any suggestions on how to tape my hand ?
Thank you so much for this video. Is there a particular type of tape you might recommend?
honestly it doesn't matter. just wrap it in something, gauze or nothing, whatever. If you have carpel tunnel or tendinitis, none of these quick fixes will make it heal any sooner. Just try not to make the motions that trigger the pain, and give it a few weeks, that's all you can do. But wrapping it I find at least reminds me not to move my wrist a certain way so there's that..
After trying these tapes and stretches and techniques from videos like this, many times over several flare ups, I concluded that trying to get tendon inflammation to heal is like trying to fix a canker sore or neck kink... Nothing helps, it just goes away when it does... Then again, I'm not a doctor... But then again, again, neither are kinesiologists.
How could I order the kinesiology tape carpal tunnel
So helpful. I've been looking for tattoo cover up tape that actually works, so I can wear it on stage. I'm a ballet dancer and we can't have tattoos showing. Also bonus...it will help my carple tunnel and any other injuries I may have.😊
The good thing with these kind of Kinesio tape sorts are that there are nude color available... I really understand it's very important for people performing on stage and I'm a violinist and have the similar thing for the tape not being seen/to show...
hey is there any references do you wanna provide it for this, i read some articles regarding effectiveness of K tape on Pelvic Asymmetry and all of em reached to a conclusion that it only creates Placebo.
KSD thanks for the comment! There is no reference for this exact method of taping. The idea with this tape application is to provide support and to serve as an external cue to avoid straining the wrist. You are correct regarding research on kinesiology tape: there is no single study that shows this tape as effective as a single treatment to carpal tunnel or any pathology for that matter. Activity modification is going to be one of the best solutions for carpal tunnel, but if wearing tape to act as an external cue helps someone to be conscientious of their wrist position, I think it’s worth trying.
@@PTProgress Thanx tim.
How long should I keep my wrist taped? Is this something I could keep on for a few days?
As long as it doesn’t bother your skin, it’s ok to leave it on for 24-48 hours and reassess/reapply.
My palms get sweaty and the tap doesnt stay :(
Any tips?
Try a carpal tunnel brace. I made a video on a few a while back. That should help keep your wrist in a neutral position.
You could round the corners of the ends of the tape to keep it on little longer.
Not understanding how this helps
