Sharing the wealth! KT tape for back and hip pain!!!

BrookieB86

So I cannot believe that I haven't tried this before now but last night I came across a pin that showed a few different techniques for applying kinesiology tape to help relieve different pregnancy discomforts and since I had a roll already from an old ankle injury I decided to give it a go for the lower back pain and pressure in my hips and pelvis that's been making walking around all but impossible and WOW!!! The difference it makes is incredible!! It doesn't by any means get rid of all of the pain and discomfort but I definitely feel like I can get around somewhat more normally now! It basically serves the same purpose as a supportive belly band, but with a few strips of tape instead. At 37.5 weeks I will definitely be using KT tape from here until my little girl arrives! 
Here's the link to the pin for any other mommies that might be interested

Lol, my husband is a kinesiologist and I got him to tape up my belly for support around 7 months or so. Worked great, just hurts when it comes off! I liked it a lot better than the Velcro belly band I had been trying to wear.
