This taping technique pulls on the skin in a way to turn on the muscles of the shoulder blade that keep your shoulder down and back. That increases the space under the collar bone area (acromioclavicular joint) where your rotator cuff tendon and bursa are by 200%. This is the most common problem area for shoulder pain with typical medical diagnoses of:

  • Rotator cuff/shoulder impingement syndrome

  • Subacromial bursitis

  • Rotator cuff tendinitis/calcification tendonitis

  • Acromium/shoulder bone spurs

Be sure to work on the underlying imbalances that could be making your shoulder hurt while you use this taping technique so that you can eventually stop using the tape!
