Some Notes from PT

Taping:

Rotator Cuff: Cut tape into a Y (go 2/3 of the length). The gap should start right at the base of the deltoid. No tension on the attachment; then reach back to stretch the front side, wrap one arm of the Y around the front of the deltoid. Then reach forward to stretch the back, wrap around the back of the delt. Tension should be about 50-60%.

Bicep Tendon Support: No cutting. Attach at no tension along the bicep; when you get close to the origin, stretch to about 50% tension and attach at the acromion.

"Reminder" for shoulder position - attach along the the shoulder joint. When you get to the acromion, draw to full tension and wrap back around to the tip of the scapula.
