KT Tape: Front Shoulder Pain

Pain in the front of the shoulder is usually the result of strained or inflamed biceps tendons.
Inflammation of the biceps tendons or strained ligaments contributes to pain in the front of the shoulder. Acute pain is addressed by icing affected area and anti-inflammatory medication.

KT Tape is helpful in increasing lymphatic drainage, reducing pain by relieving pressure on nerves, and proving support and stability to the shoulder.

are u aiming to inhibit or activate the bicep...if this is being used for what I can only imagine is LHB tendinopathy would we not want to tape from insertion to origin i.e. distal to prox in order to inhibit?....love your taping techniques, and will use them - just want to get the theory behind it...

@grage072 These video's are specifically developed for non-professionals therefore we use an anatomical approach in the technique's by taping the symptoms rather than addressing root cause. We refer people to a local healthcare professional for a full diagnosis which may include clinical taping technique's as part of treatment.

great stuff....thanks... :DD

You have to clean the skin properly and use spray adhesive if you want the tape to truly stick for days. That is standard procedure no matter WHAT kind of tape is used. That may not be common knowledge, but this is a video for demonstrating tape placement, not a video about the full taping procedure. Still, would have been nice for people to know I bet.

I use athletic tape at the anchors for extra support, cause I noticed when I play real hard and i sweat like crazy it just comes right off.
