  • Which is the risk of gangrene, I mean, during a soccer game (90min + 15 min pause and 20 min warm up)?

  • @JoaoPauloDupui Gangrene?! Highly unlikely, unless you wrap the tape so tight you cut off all blood flow!

  • Where can you find the cheapest prices on the Elastikon tape? $5.50 is the cheapest I've been able to find. Thank you for the video.

  • @CowboyScottDavis Try return2fitness . net if you're in the US

  • Hi, this might be silly question but right up until the spiral taping to specifically reinforce acl at the end is all the other tape over the anterior aspect of the leg simply for overall joint stability? i tried this on myself and my knee felt very secure but very limited esp into flexion which could be quite limiting in a game of footy. Please correct me if i'm wrong but could you not apply the anchors and then do the acl spiral tape reinforced on either side to limited hyperextension? Thanks!

  • Hi

    Yes the other taping is mainly for whole joint stability. However, this technique is not really intended for use in the late stages of rehab, when you are able to play football! It is more for earlier stages of rehab. You may find a knee brace better for you.

  • Is it possible to use normal athletic tape instead of elastic tape?

  • @sanzarelli

    Just suck it up. After your knee has recovered from the pain/trauma. Your body will gradually start to depend on your hamstrings more to stabilise your knee. I have torn cruciate AND shallow throclear grooves but would feel fine doing some kind of wrestling and controlled shorter kicks, I regularly do barbell squats which is very therapeutic. Running is the only thing that really sends my hamstring into overdrive and problematic.

  • or you can buy a brace

  • Search for cjw1QvAzaSM in youtube.

    It's a video showing an alternate method of healing a painful injured knee.

    Speedy recovery to those who wish =)

  • i need help please, i strained my knee before 2 months ago and went to my physical therapist to do some exercises, the doctor said that its definitely getting stronger but it hurts when i try to run, other than that, i have no pain at all. can some one tell me if i really have a serious injury or not?

  • Does anybody know the best option for and ACL injury in Mixed Martial Arts? Braces aren't an option, and this taping would be good but it looks like there's zero flexibility.
