has anyone tried this on the face? I have that kinetic tape you use on the body but have never successfully figured it out.

I tried those nasal strips on my nose and they just will not stick. The only ones that worked were the kids version and I cant find those anymore

I was thinking this might help with deviated septum issues

My experience has been to first apply a Biore pad to my nose and then adhere a BreatheRight to that.
It does help me breathe better during matches.

It was a good match but Serena look spent and really slow. Lots of rust for sure. Serena in top form would have destroyed that opponent love love.

I use to have repeated sinus infections. My USAF ENT doctor investigated and found I had “deviated septum issues.” My septum was bent until is had nearly closed one nostril. She said she could resolve the problem by straightening the septum and cleaning out the massive scar tissue in my sinus cavities. She performed the operation and I was breathing through my nose with no problems. She said it looked like I had broken my nose at sometime, thus resulting in the deviated septum.

Thanks for the post. Williams may bring a lot of people relief from suffering by raising awareness of available treatments for this type of misery. Going to check it out myself.

Hope it worked 100% for her - and anyone else who needs them.

I use the nasal strips. I first use a wipe to get all the oil out of my pores. I found the strips work better when I do that.

Just thinking it works is usually enough.

If she would lose 25 pounds she might not have breathing or exhaustion problems and might win a match.

I used KT tape when I worked at the health club. It was all the rage for a while, then sort of petered off. I had it for some sub-scap issues when I swam. I never had any relief from it then.

I also thought the trigger points massages (turning muscles off and on again) was a big waste of money as well.

Some people swear by it, so who knows. I also thought acupuncture and chiropractic adjustments were useless... again, if it works for other people, who knows? I say, let ‘em do it.

The problem with the K-tape is that it should be placed by a professional who knows what they are doing, if used improperly it can further damage the problem area and create new injuries in other areas.

BOTTOM LINE: Serena lost to relatively unheralded Harmony Tan because she is 17 years older, and not at her healthiest condition.

I suffered from recurring sinus infections with excruciating headaches for about 12 years after I got out of the Army. I was stationed in Central America for two years and I suspect I contracted the infection there and it never fully went away no matter the medication I took.

Anyway, I finally had an x-ray on my sinuses during the last bout and they were fully clogged. So the doctor performed an Antral Lavage which required him to insert a huge syringe up my nose and perforate the bone in order to access the sinus cavity. The syringe was filled with saline water which he used to flush out the sinus cavity. You would not believe the amount of what looked like green algae that was flushed out into my throat and out my mouth into a pan held under my chin.

I know it sounds really gross but I never had a problem again.

This is so silly. The sinuses are a fixed structure, possibly full of pus in her case. No amount of tape would make anything drain or loosen up.
It would be like putting a Bandaid on her neck for strep throat.

She must have a product endorsement.

Won’t help a deviated septum

Doesn’t help anything else either. It’s called the placebo effect

No proof that it works.

And?

People do lots of things with no proof that it actually works via medical studies. Some times when they get around to doing a study, surprise, they do find evidence that it does work.

If it is not actively harmful just let them be.
