I am currently dealing with the aftermath of a knee replacement operation. The #1 ongoing problem is swelling of the tissue around the knee joint to the point that it makes the PT and other activities very uncomfortable.
One person has recommended that I replace the compression socks with Kinesiology tape. From what I see this somewhat stretch tape is used for all sorts of muscle and skeleton issues. I guess the idea is that the right kind of taping can prevent problems such as the swelling I am eperience.
Has anybody used Kinesiology taping? What did you use it for? Did you find it effective? Or not?
FWIW, I doubt if I can use it at this time since I would have to tape over the incision which is still healing. That would be a big No No. But, I am curious if anybody has used this technique and what the results were.
