RE: Getting My Life Together

Do you do any yoga or pilates? I've heard that can be good for posture. So many have bad posture due to computer and mobile phone use, hunching over them. I'm not saying that's your issue of course, just stating facts. Hopefully the tape works; I've never heard of it but it looks legit.

Sort:  

I don't really exercise because I'm lazy AF. That would obviously be the cure for a lit of body ailments. You've never heard of kinesio tape!? I thought it was a well known thing, though a fairly new practise I think. My city has a school for sport science, hense a lot of sporty people around all the time, so I see a lot of taped up people. I believe it's athletes that use it the most because the tape can support but doesn't limit the range of motion. It's funny seeing people who've used the tape during a sunny day and then end up with the weirdest tan lines.

Yes, exercise can probably help. Being lazy AF isn't a bad thing though. We all get that way sometimes.

Maybe here kinisio tape is called something else? I have no idea. I've never used that method of healing although used to get my ankles and wrists taped when I was playing American football for ten years. Does that count? Speaking of people with strange tan lines up there because of tape...I had funny ones on my ankles and lower legs because of the tape...And it would rip all the hairs out when I'd take it off after training and games. Ouch!

Kinesio tape is different from athletic tape which I assume you used for ankles and wrists. Kinesio tape is strechy, athetic tape isn’t and they are used for different things.

Ah ok, yeah, strapping tape isn't stretchy, so quite different.
