Day 5: Rest and Kinesio Tape

Hey gang.  After how bad my shins felt yesterday and the fact that I am working 9 hours at the busiest store in the district today I decided today would be a relax day.

I taped up both of my legs yesterday and used A LOT OF ice.

For those of you not familiar with KT Tape, I have enclosed two videos.  One is an overview of what the tape is and what it does and one is specifically for shin splints. 

They used this tape on my shoulder when I was having issues with it and they also used it during my PT for shin splints this past Sept/Oct.

I am a HUGE fan of the tape.   It helps me heal while not interfering in my day to day life. It can also retrain muscles too.

The videos are courtesy of Mueller Rx.
