My GBS Story

Ultrasound Therapy & Kinesiology Taping Of Knee

For my knee pain in Physiotherapy my physiotherapists used ultrasound therapy and kinesiology taping to treat it today. With ultrasound therapy it uses sound waves to treat medical problems like inflammation from injuries.

Kinesiology taping was also done to help alleviate pain and help improve healing in soft tissues. It’s a technique widely used in sports for prevention and treatment of sporting injuries.

Well today was definitely also a first for me. I had to have my leg shaved for the kinesiology taping treatment. We shared a few laughs about it but I think they enjoyed it too much. lol If it will help get my knee better and back up walking between parallel bars again, I’ll shave my whole leg. In other words I don’t want anything delaying my recovery from Guillain Barre Sydrome AMSAN GBS variant.

Before taping my knee with kinesiology tape my physiotherapist did ultrasound therapy. I’m really hope that both of these techniques will help my knee recover and get better. I want to get back to full physio so I can continue to work towards walking.

My recovery from Guillain Barre Syndrome will continue on Monday. If my knee is not better by then I’ll be going for an MRI. Hopefully the rest over the weekend will help, we’ll see next week.
