Recovery: Do you even tape brah? Kineso Tape!

I’ve become a huge fan of using kineso tape to help with sore muscles and joints after playing soccer or lifting kids all day. While I still stretch, and use my multiple massage tools, it also helps to apply a few strips of the stretchy tape around some of my problem areas. Namely - my left calf and knee, which are seemingly always a bit sore. This was also the leg I had ACL reconstructive surgery on.

“So - what are you wearing today?”

“I’m wearing the latest fashions from Rock Tape, stabilizing my rotator cuff, my left calf, and my interior knee...”

The great thing about Kineso Tape (another quick disclaimer: I’m not a doctor, nor have I been officially trained in how to do this...) is that there are plenty of online videos and tutorials on how you can apply many of these helpful bands without going to a chiropractor or physio. (Again - maybe for the first time, you should go see someone.)

I use “Taping Guide App” which features different tutorials and set by step application FAQs. While many of them you can apply yourself, there are a few that make it much easier to have someone helping. The tape on my shoulder was one of those set ups - but I still managed, and so far it has released some of the soreness in the area.

Here is the tape I use. This is an affiliate link, so I’d get a little kick back if you buy it from here.

I heard someone suggest using the last bits of your FSA money to get things like this and build up a little stock pile. Go get taped!

I love to use @sporttape kinesiology tape for support and proprioception and @massagewax for all soft tissue work. #myofascial cups are used for areas of adhesion and are one of my integral everyday tools.
