Turns out my daughter has used tape on some her children's joints, both are athletic and it's helped keep them stronger, the boy who is 15 never slows down. She is now thinking of doing some taping for her foot that has ligament issues. A friend's daughter had a foot reconstruction surgery almost a year ago and she's still using crutches....I hear she regrets the surgery and thinking now too bad she didn't know about taping, could have "maybe" helped her issue. The daughter is 56. My friend thinks Judy will have a limp forever. Hard to know but it's been a really really hard surgery.
