[TheDarkKnight03]

i feel pain in this area ..i think it muscles problem because i feel pain only when i run or after practice

so can this help me ?

[rico002i]

Has any one ever pulled a muscle and had like a string of muscle become inflamated?. I alteady visited my doctor and its in my groin area on the lower lower abominal muscles slightly below my waist line so im wondering if mabe it will never heal or mught take a really long time...?

[TheDarkKnight03]

@rico002i i got this now .. are u OK now ?? if yes what did u do to heal ?

[scndhndmumu]

can you do this specific application in it is on the edge of your pelvis

[jshealy]

I don't really have significant pain anymore. The front of my leg just seems to hang and a standing x-ray shows the left hip is 9mm higher than the right. A heel lift is all I've found that helps in daily life.

Might this help with stability during sports?

[LumosInc]

@jshealy KT Tape helps alot with stability. I'm sure our clinicians would recommend a custom app if you wanted to leave some details on our website under 'ask an expert'.

i've had sartorius strains off and on for almost a year now and i'm a goalkeeper. i was wondering if this tape is going to weaken the muscle since it supports and limits the amount of use the muscle?

[joneberle]

@landgreenmtb The tape will not weaken the muscle; in fact, the tape will help you to train the muscle to gain strength. The tape will inhibit the muscle when you are not using it (open chain) and stimulate the muscle when you are (closed chain).

[landgreenmtb]

@joneberle Well would this be safe if you wore this for a long period of time and than stopped using it?

[joneberle]

@landgreenmtb Absolutely. The tape doesn't make your muscle dependent on the stimulus. One of the great things about KT Tape is that it is a therapeutic technique. If you got a massage every day for 3 weeks and then didn't get a massage anymore, you would obviously still be better off because of the massages, and would function fine without them. Getting the massage just made you that much more flexible and less tense - and that benefit doesn't end when the hands come off of you.

I run and have pain more towards the side of my hip like on the lateral side....is this what I should do or is there another way i should tape it?

[LumosInc]

@weinerpoopification no problem- just apply over the point of pain.

Hey, I'm having some sharp pains just above my iliac crest? around the external oblique. It only happens when I lift my right leg to juggle the ball(soccer). I looked at a diagram and I believe it could be the oblique due to it hurting while I'm stabilizing on my left leg in which would use my core muscles slightly. Please help.

[landgreenmtb]

what does the tape do
