Just tried this and it works! What a difference. I have EDS and this is the best video I've found

[@thegingergeek6842]

Whaaaat this is INSANE!!! I've been diagnosed with EDS since 2015, so nearly a DECADE, and no one has ever even discussed taping with me, sort of just stumbled upon it. First time trying it... Holy shit. 😂

[@user-si3cu9dg4g]

First time ever using taping since receiving my hEDS diagnosis and it's absolutely incredible how much more supported my shoulder felt. Thank you for such a detailed yet easy to follow tutorial.

This has been super helpful, showed it to my PT and we’ve used it to stabilize both my hypermobile shoulders so I can do the strengthening exercises at my sessions and continue to work!

I needed this 60 years ago!

Thank you this is the best way to tape my shoulder on YT. Have a labrum tear and this helped me maintain activity and awareness.

I’m in PT for a shoulder dislocation during sleep. I have l Hypermobility Syndrome. This is really helping me while I heal up!

Thank you so much! I have HEDS and my shoulder always pops out and falls forward and everything I’ve found tapes the back and this is the first one that looks like it will help hold my shoulder in place. Going to try it tonight when my husband gets home. Looking forward to some relief finally! Thank you so much. Now I need to find help holding my ribs and c1-c2 in place ugh

I have that too. Ribscand vertebrae shifting, hips, knees and ankles. I found out recently that menepause escelated everything and was encouraged to use wild yam progesterone cream to help balance the hormones whichbaffect the tendons and ligaments. (I heard it is safe a even for younger women). It somehow creates balance.

This is a life saver, my shoulders are finicky and this is the best way I’ve found to tape it.

[@MS-kp6gn]

I have really multidirectional unstable shoulders, that are hurting me and my neck is also unstable. I am crying a lot today, because this is helping so much. I was crying because I could do so much more today and I am feeling quite some relief. I am also crying because I could finally let me feel the pain I am going through. Normally I do not let me feel that because I have to function and to live with it but I guess I could feel it now, because I got some hope for relief. Thank you so much for your work.

I 1000% relate to something finally taking the edge off to even make it possible to allow ourselves to fully feel the pain we constantly suppress. I've had that phenomenon happen. I do believe our bodies need to be given that chance to process the pain in order to start truly healing from it. Good luck to us both!

[@cartermason1601]

i have hypermobility and liquid in my right shoulder and these help a lot as i only just discovered tape and i couldnt be happier

[@kitry7]

Thank you so much this video and all the information are incredibly helpful! Is this something that can be used more ‘long term’? Eg we usually get told to not use braces too much as we’ll get weak, does this happen with tape? And also, is this something intended to aid in healthier movement patterns? Ie would it be beneficial to do shoulder strengthening exercises while taped to get a better idea of where the shoulder needs to be? Thanks again for this amazing video!

[@tinalewis9529]

This is amazing, thank you so much! I have always wanted to know how to do this, my shoulders always give me jip!

@the fibro guy, you are the best. Thanks!

[@malinichandra6953]

Thankyou - first video of its kind

[@maryolin216]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! ❤

[@maggiedrennon919]

Brilliant.

[@grobin3745]

Does this help with lifting weights? I need stability and pain reduction for overhead shoulder presses and butterfly chest without.. Thanks for your time

[@thepinkjellybaby]

Will this help with thoracic outlet syndrome if the nerve is being compressed and pain being felt in the pec minor and front of the shoulder?

[@henriettaparr9453]

How would this work with TOS?

[@jeanetteclark9556]

Does this taping method help with impingement?

[@texlin2840]

Do you have any tips for someone doing this by themselves?

[@Thefibroguy]

Unfortunately not, Im afraid. It is very much something you need help with. However, that being said, we have had some pretty inventive clients over the years. One lady used to jam the end of the tape into a door frame so she could get the tension to apply it by herself.

[@heathersmyth9716]

THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@anilkumarsharma2571]

For how much time this tape works

[@mamamiafamilygaming6192]

I usually get a few days out of tape before it gets irritated and I have to take a day off. Honestly if it wasn’t for my sensitivity to the adhesive I could keep it on for almost a week I’m sure. I have MCAS so it gets itchy and irritated by day 2-3 so I have to take it off way before it loosens up on its own.
