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!
You changed my life with this! thanks so much! WOW. I didnt know my shoulder and other muscles could even feel like this cause i have been living like this for ages! 😭
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.
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. 😂
Does this actually work? My shoulders have been so lax my whole life they subluxate in every direction I’ve worn it the whole joint I’m 42 Now and 4 years ago the doctors said I needed both shoulders to have complete replacements. But they obviously wouldn’t do that cause I’m too young and would need to have the surgery done three times in my life. It subluxates all the time when I’m sleeping I get nerve impingement and it’s so painful. Last three days have been torture with my neck and shoulder. Exercise and physical therapy has always made it worse. I’ve done sports my whole life martial arts for eight years, basketball and football. Tore my labrum posterior and anterior then had to have that repaired. Didn’t tighten my shoulder up at all though even with all that PT I went through.
@@petefernandez9376 So I'm only 24 and have similar issue. I was also an athlete my whole life until I got sick - baseball, basketball, and soccer. Mine sublux like crazy, mostly the left one. its painful as hell, impinges the nerve, and to be honest I recently found out I'd been walking around for four months with two ribs out of place and didn't know it, so I wouldn't be shocked if I've actually dislocated that shoulder in some direction or another before and never knew. This taping helps me SO much. I've had to stop using it since I had a car wreck and actually now have a reverse issue (tension in the muscle because it overcompensated, what??? totally new to me!! lmao) but before that, i would wear it for a day or two. it would hold up in place and the muscles would take a day or two to fully relax afterwards. I'd repeat the cycle about twice a week, so every 5 days just about.
@@thegingergeek6842 that’s cool man that it helps. I’ve had so much pain and I started with my first back injury around your age that started all my back leg nerve pain issues there. The shoulders both started in elementary school as something just thought it was funny or cool thing to subluxate my shoulders in front of my friends. Then as I got older just happened more. In my twenties I was playing racquetball pretty competitively with a friend several times a week and sublimated in back and slammed forward when I hit the ball and tore my labrum front and back. Needed surgery after that and now both shoulders are shot
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!
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!
Good lord that was effective! Even just doing it by myself! Are there any taping techniques to better sense the scapulae themselves? It’s so difficult for me to feel protraction/retraction properly, without say flexing the spine or moving some other part of me to do it.
@@Thefibroguy thank you for replying!! Dang I can’t quite seem to do it without my humerus wanting to roll forward and do all the work xD- but I’m sure that comes with practice! Even just going about my day for a week with the tape and zone moving (sometimes…), I have so much more awareness of what is/isn’t being “in the socket.” Amazing PT, just bummed I don’t live in the UK!
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.
Does this help with lifting weights? I need stability and pain reduction for overhead shoulder presses and butterfly chest without.. Thanks for your time
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.

I needed this 60 years ago!

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 this is the best way to tape my shoulder on YT. Have a labrum tear and this helped me maintain activity and awareness.
Ohh my goodness, the relief I just felt after I finished taping! Thank you sooo much
This is a life saver, my shoulders are finicky and this is the best way I’ve found to tape it.
Spectacular! will definitely be trying this out!
Thank you for explaining positioning if your arm as you are taping. I had never heard that before
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
Thank you. This is a miracle EDS treatment
Shoulers under the knee!! I have days like this too... thanks for the great content! 😄

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!

There you go, it’s better than taping 😀

Thankyou - first video of its kind
Do you have any tips for someone doing this by themselves?
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.
How would this work with TOS?
Now I can do my deltoid exercises without the dragging feeling.
Does this taping method help with impingement?
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?
Does this help with lifting weights? I need stability and pain reduction for overhead shoulder presses and butterfly chest without.. Thanks for your time
When I tried this, it made my shoulder pain worse as the day went on?
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! ❤
For how much time this tape works
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.
Brilliant.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
