Instead of using adhesive tape, I ordered The PSC Fabrifoam. It performs the same function as tape, but you don't have to deal with the stickiness, cutting, etc. It is similar to an Ace bandage, but has a rubber lining for support. It stays on by using a velcro latch. My friend who is a PT told me about it and gave me the information. I am at the point where I will try anyting! So far, so good. I've tried some more agressive exercise and it has helped.
It is made by The Saunders Group, 1-800-456-1289 and costs about $23.00 plus shipping. I figure that one could easlily spend that much on tape if they are continuosly taping. Give them a call, they can send you more info on it! Good luck!
