Pleasure Tip for Pregnant Parents: Use Kinesiology Taping (KT) to relieve pressure
Using Kinesiology tape (KT) can aid in back, pelvis, belly support during pregnancy. It’s a sweet alternative to belts, braces that pregnant parents might use.to alleviate discomfort.
KT is a stretchy cotton tape with adhesive on the back. Its stickiness is activated by your body heat.
Tapping directly on belly can help with:
-low back pain
-sacroiliac joint pain
-decrease pressure on the bladder/pelvic floor
-decrease weight or heaviness of the belly
-swelling in the hands or feet
-shoulder and neck pain (i.e. postural support)
How to use:
-Cut a piece of tape to desired length
-Tear the tape in the middle of the strip
-Apply the tape under the belly, rub it to provide heat activation
-Pull each side up with some tension, rubbing again to adhere
-Apply the last inch or two without any tension
Taping can be worn for several days.
Disclaimer: be mindful about the stickiness of the tap. You may or may not be allergic or have a sensitivity to it.
