Anyone heard of using Kinesiology during pregnancy

So...has anyone tried this (or heard of it?) I know that athletes rave about it but I haven't heard of anyone trying it during pregnancy.

    My old chiropractor used it on me a few years ago. We have some of the tape and I'm debating having DH watch some YouTube videos and taping me up

    Ah! I just ordered some tape, I'll keep you guys updated. I'm having constant pain on my left side and I'm hoping that it helps.

    I used it on my hips last pregnancy and it definitely helped. My hips would almost burn at night in the joints but the tape made them stop. This time I haven't had that problem yet, but we also have a new mattress, so maybe that's helping.

    Helped me with RLP early in second trimester and just the overall "heavy" feeling of my belly on days where I knew I'd be on my feet a lot. I'd definitely recommend!

    I use it! I use it a lot at work so I'm familiar with application, etc. I tried it on myself for my SI pain last week and it helped a ton. I haven't used it yet for any belly/hip pain but it's possible that it could help, depending on where the pain is actually coming from.

    I went to physio on Friday and she taped my back, but i didn't notice any difference. I always go into things skeptical so maybe I do the opposite of placebo lol. I need to read some actual peer reviewed empirical studies to believe something like that, which annoys me, but my educational background makes me skeptical!

    My husband's PT taped his shoulder following shoulder surgery and it helped him. Can't see any harm in trying. I'm going to start seeing a chiro soon so I will definitely be asking about this.

    I have used the tape on and off for years so was so excited when I saw methods for relieving pregnancy aches and pains! Too bad my body has decided to react by breaking out in hives with all forms of adhesive this pregnancy! :( but it really was instant relief!
