This next technique is for low back pain
low back pain can be centralized or to one side slightly. In this case we'll tape
right in the middle
so following right down the middle of the spine
What I'm going to do is tear one piece off.
You'll actually need four pieces in total torn this way. I'm going to tear
the paper in the middle
peeling the paper back
again, stretching the tape evenly, and not holding just with index finger and thumb which would
cause uneven tension on the tape
I'm going to have the patient lean forward
flexing through that area
taking the one piece of tape and going right across the area of pain with even tension
I'm going to lay that middle portion down
and then lay the tails down with no tension
staying in that position I'm going to take my second piece of the four
using the same technique, I'm putting middle tension on the tape,
and laying it down right over the pain site
and again laying the tails down with no tension.
With the next piece,I'm going to do the same thing, now on a diagonal
laying the piece down with middle tension, seventy-five to one hundred percent,
and rubing the tape to create friction on the tape and heat the adhesive up slightly so that it will stick
and for our last peice
I'll place on this diagonal
again, good middle tension, seventy five to one hundred percent
and I'm just going to give it a good rub
to make sure those pieces are adhering
I'll have him stand back up
how does that feel?
and he is good to go
