Lumbar kinesio tape

[nephro]

Has anybody used kinesio tape on the lower back? On longer rides with a lot of climbing I develop low back discomfort and fatigue. Working of core strength and wondering about kinesio tape. I noticed some of the pro road bike guys are using it on the lumbar and mid back.

I have a degenerated l-spine disk that can cause some lower back pain and have used kinesio tape with good results. It acts as a support and I've ridden my last two centuries stronger with it. Put four strips on asterisk style and ride happy.

Kinesiotape is just great. Im a fysiotherapist for soccer players and it works perfect for them. But it only work if you are using it right. You can search for kinesiotape on youtube and find lots of quality tutorial videos.

I have heard a lot of good comments about kinesiotape and they say that it is really effective. I have seen it also from bikers.

I'm a fan of the Spidertech brand, super easy directions to follow in precut sections should your SO be applying.
