Taping treatment for anterior shoulder pain - Dan injured this area during a tackle in rugby. I eased the trapezius (large surface muscle that extends from the occipital bone to the lower thoracic vertebrae of the spine and laterally to the spine of the scapula. It moves the scapula and supports the arm) and pectoral (chest) area with some massage and stretching, I then taped his shoulder to give the area some support.
Typical benefits of kinesiology tape include:
Pain relief
Reduced swelling and inflammation
Accelerated recovery from bruising
Prevents and/or relieves muscle spasms and cramping
Speedier recovery of overused muscles
Supports injured muscles and joints without restricting range of motion
To find out more about taping (K-Taping or Kinesiology Tape) give me a call.
