KT Tape: Ankle Sprains

[berryahmad]

i play rugby and i have a match after 2 days can i wear KT tape during the match?!

[karolwidzew]

Can I tape ankle with this to make my ankle stabile? Like using it instead of a brace? Or should I wear an white athletic tape instead?

[LumosInc]

@karolwidzew Yes- KT Tape can be used for light ankle support. We just uploaded a new app called ankle stability that you can check out. thx

Im a cheerleader and tumbler and i twisted my ankle while doing a tumbling pass, its been 6 weeks now is that tape good for catching the hurt when i land on my ankle ?

I prefer a good tape job over a brace anyday. Are there certain stretches or exercises that can be to strengthen the ankles?

[0fayz0]

Can I play and run with them atfer I taped my my sprained foot?

Should I sleep with the tape or take it of and change it everday? (I heard that I must let my foot get blood and rest while I´m sleeping).

@0fayz0 I play league tennis and I won't take the court without my KT tape. One day I rolled my ankle practicing for playoffs. I didn't think there would be any way I could play. I put KT tape on, popped a bunch of Advil and ran like a rabbit in that match. Afterward, I was giving the Advil all the glory until I took the KT tape off. That's when I realized how much it helped.

And no, you don't have to take it off. I wear it on my arthritic knee and if I don't play it will last 4-5 days.

i have a question i play basketball and i always role my ankle is there anyway i can use your tape to prevent that?

[kikomx118]

i have a question, I play soccer and sometimes i sprain my right ankle, is it good to do these after i sprain my ankle or i can just wear it as a preventive ?

or i can use it next i play after the injury ? thanks

@kikomx118 You can wear KT Tape before, during, and after physical activity. It's very common for people to use KT Tape before activity to provide a little extra stability and support.

@Lumosinc, you are right about the time on an ankle. It would have been 3 days had I been willing to allow it to stay loose and cruddy but I had to pull it off after the shower on day 2. Great product otherwise, I love that it's not as restricting as a brace and that it feels like there is nothing there but it gives the support you need. On my knees, I can get 4 days easy. IT JUST COST TOO MUCH!! That is all. ;)

[IamMsMaam]

I love this stuff!! It's a little expensive but works very well, especially when I am fortunate enough and not so sweaty that I can keep it on for at least 3 days.

[LumosInc]

@IamMsMaam haha- I know what you mean. Actually, if you are getting 3 days out of the ankle app then you're doing great. Normally the foot applications last 1-2 days.

I bet he´s a foot fetishist!

[LumosInc]

There is no difference in the colors from a performance perspective. Colors are for matching only!

[crayonchristian]

aside from color, how are pink and black tapes differ?

[HeathBlackmon633]

Anatomically where did you place the pink strip when beginning to tape?

[abbiejfox]

@HeathBlackmon633 when i do this I start on the medial calcaneus just inf and post to the medial malleolus---Dr. B.

[factionparadox]

Question: On the first strip (pink), is there tension along the bottom of the foot? or just on the side as you go up the ankle?

[blueboy0622]

the way this taping is done is different from the way ankle taping using adhesive tape...

[Maddam1973]

Wow, It's Beautiful the girl in the video

[Essam14577]

nice

[yesvinnie]

I love your videos. I have issues with my shoulder, elbow and ankle. I need to get some of the tape and see how that works out for me.

[LumosInc]

I just wanted to follow-up to see if you had a chance to try KT Tape for your shoulder/elbow/ and ankle issue's?
