The first strip was a Y-strip which was applied from insertion to origin of supraspinatus with paper off tension. A Y-strip refers to a section of tape that has a portion cut down the middle to produce 2 tails. Paper-off tension means applying the tape directly to the skin as it comes off the paper backing. The first strip was applied with the subject in a position combining contra-lateral cervical side bending and the arm reaching behind the back as if reaching into the contralateral backside pocket. The second strip was a Y-strip applied to the deltoid, from insertion to origin with paper-off tension. The second strip was applied with the first tail to the anterior deltoid while the arm was externally rotated and horizon- tally abducted. The other tail for the posterior del- toid was applied with the arm horizontally adducted and internally rotated. The third strip, an I-strip (no cut down the middle of the tape), was applied from the coracoid process to the posterior deltoid with approximately 50% to 75% stretch (tension) and downward pressure applied to the tape at the region of perceived tenderness for glenohumeral mechanical correction. To apply the third strip, the upper extremity was externally rotated while at the side and then moved into shoulder flexion and slight hor- izontal adduction as the end of the tape was applied with no stretch. The fourth strip was a Y-strip KT to lower trapezius from the thoracic spine to the medial border of the scapula with approximately 50% stretch (tension).
