Simple steps to strapping the shoulder:

1. Prepare 3 x tapes (2x 15-20cm & 1 x 10cm).

2. Have the athlete seated with shoulders slightly pulled back.

3. Feel along the top of the shoulder blade and place 15-20cm tape horizontally, with a mild pull to the tape. Then anchor to the arm bone.

4. Apply the next 15-20cm tape from the base of the neck horizontally along the upper traps down towards the 1st anchor (i.e., in step 3).

5. Apply the 10cm tape ~1-2 finger width below the middle of the collar bone (where the upper chest muscle is found). Then apply a mild pull upwards towards the shoulder, crossing in front of the shoulder.

6. Then anchor to meet tape 1 & 2.

7. Ask the athlete to relax and move their arm. They should feel a light stretch along the skin, and the shoulder should feel supported.
