scapular taping

Scapular taping involves applying specially designed tape, like kinesiology tape, around the shoulder blades to support their position and movement. This technique can help improve posture, reduce pain, and enhance muscle function by gently lifting the skin and stimulating nerves. It’s often used in physical therapy to promote proper scapular mechanics, especially for those with shoulder or upper back issues. The tape provides sensory feedback, encouraging correct movement patterns without restricting range of motion, and can be worn during daily activities or exercise for ongoing support.
