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

Patients

THE PATIENT is the most important person.

He is not dependent on us,
We are dependent on him.

He is not an interruption to our business,
He is the purpose of it.

He is not an outsider to our business,
He is a part of it.

We are not doing him a favour by serving him,
He is doing us a favour by giving us an opportunity to do so.

Adapted from the works of Mahatma Gandhi.
