There can be many problems with the shoulder
but we're going to tape for just general shoulder pain. I'm going to tear off one peice
and this piece we're going to split so again perforate down the middle
tear down the middle
and it will automatically stop leaving you enough anchor
I'm going to tear off the paper, just on the anchor point
we're going to place that anchor point
right at the insertion of the deltoid
right there
I'm going to rub that on
so that it stays in place
now tear the paper backing off
for the peice that goes towards the front of the shoulder
have the arm rotate outward, so thumb outward, reaching back
and without tension on the tape, I'm just laying the piece down, rounding the front shoulder
rub that on
as you bring the shoulder forward you should see the front wrinkle
for the back it should be the opposite. Reach across
putting the tissues back here on stretch
now lay this piece down again with no tension
rubbing it on
and if we move the shoulder back that should wrinkle slightly
we're moving on to the next piece
we're going to take-off one strip
for this we're going to tear the piece
in the middle of paper
we're stretching the tape at full tension,
seventy five percent to one hundred percent
being careful to stretch evenly, not to place uneven pressure, say just in the middle
so again i'm gonna hold the tape
evenly like this
we're going to landmark
the acromion process on the top of the shoulder, the bony prominence, dropping just off that point
we're going to be placing the tape
right over the area of soft tissue with full tension
pulling down on the tape
and then laying down the tails with no tension
then we're going to smooth the tape down
creating friction to heat the adhesive
this will get to adhere better
and she's good to go
