I saw Denise at The Manual Touch recently for sciatic pain, that only the day before I saw Denise kept me from walking; I could only hobble for short distances before I would sit down and collapse. After some tissue work and gentle exercise with Denise, she put Kinesiotape around the affected area. I immediately noticed stability and pain improvement and could walk so much better that I was able to complete shopping trips to 4 stores I had been planning but did not think I could do. To me, the tape felt like a gentle finger tip massage until I was used to the sensation and no longer consciously noticed it.
I’ve only had to ice a few times since then & the tape continued to help me for days afterwards. I really appreciated getting my mobility back. I mentioned this taping to my sister who frequently suffers from sciatic pain. She has also received this taping but told me she doesn’t always get relief because she has found that not all PTs know how to use the tape appropriately. I feel fortunate that Denise is really skilled and that I found significant relief immediately. She can really help people suffering from sciatic pain.
