Hamstring problem

[CatGirl]

hoe werk daai tape wat runners op hulle bene plak? weet nou nie of dit nou reg uitgekom het nie

wat noem mens die tape?

 

ek sit met 'n hamstring injury(right side) and strained it even more with the lourensford classic

also got a very bad cramp in my left calve, calve muscle kinda sore now after daai een

 

the thing is: i have the gun run 1/2 marathon sunday en ek moet nou 'n plan maak

 

for the calve issue: falke compression socks?

hamstring issue: some of that tape??

Back out of the run. You'll only make it worse, and require longer recovery time. Listen to your body.

Kinesio Tape - R120.00 at sportmans warehouse

 

It's mostly applied by physios. Have you had your injury professionally assessed ?

+1 to pull out of the race. You'll only make it worse.

 

The product you are referring to is Kinesio Tape. You can buy a brand at Sportsmans Warehouse. I find that it helps with aches and pains (similar active ingredient as Transact Tape as far as I know EDIT: This is not true).

 

Compression socks will not help with cramp. If I were you I would hit the physio for the week, use some of the tape until raceday and make a call in the morning. If in doubt, watch the Semi Finals!

Incorrectly applied tape is not going to help, in fact it might make the problem worse. Get a professional assessment, and have the first tape application done by a physio. If necessary, you can duplicate the position and tension of the tape when reapplying it yourself at a later stage. It's definitely not just a case of taping any which way. Correctly applied, however, it works well for certain injuries, hamstring being one of them.

There is no active ingredient like a transact patch. It is purely an elastic tape that offers support.

I agree with those that said: Assess and Recover, helloise.

 

Dybeenbeserings moet jy maar versigtig hanteer.

True: no active ingredient. Untrue: purely elastic tape that offers support. The tape is designed to promote osmosis and it is therefore imperative that it be applied by a knowledgeable person, preferably a kinesiologist.
