KT tape can help provide support to your rotator cuff and improve shoulder mobility. Here are the steps:
- Clean and dry the skin over your shoulder.
- Stretch the KT tape 20-30% longer than the area you need to cover.
- Start applying the tape at the center of your shoulder joint, leaving some slack for mobility.
- Smooth the tape down as you apply it across your shoulder toward your back.
- Finish your application by smoothing the tape down toward your arm.
- You may apply multiple strips of tape for extra support if needed.
- Keep the tape on for 3-5 days before removing and reapplying as desired.
Be sure not to pull the tape too tightly, as you still want shoulder mobility. Check if the tape needs adjustment after a few movements. Listen to your body and remove the tape if there is discomfort.
