The shoulder is a complex and relatively unstable joint that every person uses extensively on a daily basis. There are many muscles and forces that act on the shoulder, and when any of these is overactive or underactive, problems can arise.
COMMON CAUSES OF SHOULDER PAIN
Causes of general shoulder pain are extensive and can be due to injuries of the many muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves, cartilage, or bones that make up the shoulder complex, including the rotator cuff, deltoid and labrum. Stress, compensation from past injury, or inflammation due to poor biomechanics is often the cause of continued general shoulder pain.
Though shoulder pain can have many different root causes, it is often associated with raised shoulders. Dropping the shoulders will almost always create more joint space and relieve the stress and pain in the shoulder.
KT TAPE HELPS REDUCE SHOULDER PAIN
Use this application to create a gentle reminder to keep good posture and relax the shoulder muscles to bring the shoulders down into a healthier position. Regardless of the source of shoulder problem, this application can greatly reduce the pain and improve biomechanics*. Use this application in combination with other more specific shoulder applications for the best effect.
