Kinesio Tape and shoulder problems
(2 discussions)
I am a wrestling coach and our team currently has two different shoulder injuries, one AC separation and one partially torn labrum.
I would like to know how much if kinesio tape can help with one or both of these situations. Our goal is to get these boys back competing.
Please advise.

I am a certified kinesio tape therapist. The tape will not "hold" the joint in place. The tape will give some muscular support. And if you are letting your boy go back to wrestling with a labrum tear you are crazy!! That boy needs to see a doc pronto and he should NOT be wrestling. As for the AC seperation he need to heal, not wrestle.
