Taping for Trigger Points

Its a Space Tape trigger point application.

Spacetape is a special form of ligament application affixed to pain and trigger points for pain attenuation.

As with a pain point, 4 tape strips are used for the treatment of trigger points. The tape width as well as the tape length is adapted to the location of the trigger point. As a general rule, the tape width is halved.

Example for Infraspinatus

A Shoulder protracted: Affix the entire length of the maximally stretched tape strips. Affix tape ends without tension

B Repeat the application technique for each tape strip.  Sequence: horizontal, vertical, diagonal

C Completed application
