Was able to score a few more Clairol $5/2 coupons, so trotted over to Walmart for a price match. No sense driving around to different CVS stores, hoping to find stock, right? So now the HE shampoo and conditioner stockpile has recovered and all will be fine, the good lord willin’ and the crick don’t rise…again.
If your first thought upon seeing this picture is “who would buy so much kinesiology tape?” then you’re obviously new to this site! PITA has scoliosis and the medical professionals, operating under the “If you only have a hammer, everything looks like a nail” premise, have advised surgery and a back brace for a few years now.
Fie! says the Goddess! And fie again! About a year ago we (read: mother) started taking PITA to the chiropractic college in Lombard for originally twice a week, but now once a week sessions of physical therapy, stretching and taping. The difference has been huge: She stands tall and doesn’t slouch. So each week they tape her front and back to let her feel when she starts to slouch. It doesn’t stop her from slouching, mind you, but if you feel a slight pull, then you’re not standing correctly.
We’ve purchased the original kinesoilogy tape, knock-offs, vivid colors – you name it. If the tape holds for two days (of long showers and baths) it’s considered a success. Imagine my shock when this tape stays on day after day after day. It’s still intact and it’s Saturday evening – it was applied Monday afternoon. So yes, not only will I stock up because it works, but it works and it’s free. And I got another TON of those $5/$20 store cats for Sunday and Monday. There must be something I can buy!
