There isn't one taping technique that suits every shoulder injury. This week I thought I'd run you through the shoulder taping technique I use most often at local sporting games. For this taping technique, you'll need Fixomull or rigid tape for the anchors, and 75 mm elastic adhesive bandage for the support. Apply two or three anchor strips over the top of the shoulder from front to back, as shown in the photos. Anchor strips over the shoulder help support the taping.
