in this video we were looking at a pin for generalized pain and a hamstring and we're trying to offload the actual muscle patients present with posterior v pain can be coming from potentially the sciatic nerve so it could be a new row tension could also be coming from the hamstrings if they're a marathon runner and I just get is like eighty sort of feeling it may be the left and the right hamstring then we can actually use kinesiology tape to offload so there's no actual strain of the muscle but let's say this but achiness around the semies and then there's a bit of a penis around the bicep for morris area then we can literally just try to encourage offload of those medial and lateral hamstrings so i've prepared two i strips the standard size and first of all we're going to split the tape at the end and apply back we'll do a medial side first not very matters of a semi if we if you've got a cyclist and we tape behind the knee you might irritate if you're a run now is not so bad okay so just bear that in mind if you're a runner you might want to take below and if it's a cyclist you might want to tape above so let's say recycle this and we're going to go around the posterior thigh but not actually crossing the knee so if I lock it and pull it will naturally split the back of the tape and I should be able to peel it back quite comfortably little to no stretch because the stretch is coming from a hamstring bomber patient being in this sort of flex position so from there lay that down and then apply vats with me towards the ischial tuberosity and then this one's going to go on the lateral side so the bicep for morris goes towards the head of the fibula like so that and then literally apply that no stretch crossing over like so so that would be blocking off the bicep for morris trying to offload it and that would be the semies using the back of the tape we can use that just to heat activate the glue this one makes it a bit more sticky and again you can leave our on for a few days up to five days there we have kinesiology tape in to offload the hamstrings more instructional videos by John Gibbons can be viewed on his YouTube channel and visit the bodymaster website for further information about the body master method here you will also find information about courses John runs and books he's written which are available to purchase through Amazon
