The imposition of kinesiology tape on the cervical area

Elevator muscle of scapula
Indications: Hypertonic muscle, trigger points, correction of posture

1. This method requires a piece of the tape 12–15 cm long.
2. Apply the tape base in the area of С1–С4.
3. Apply the tape with a 15 % tension towards the scapula spine.


Whiplash injury of cervical spine
Indications: Whiplash injury, pain in the cervical spine, block of cervicothoracic junction (CTJ)

1. Cut off two tapes approximately 25 cm long. Cut the tapes into 4-5 long strips. The tape base is 4 cm, and it is left integer. The width of cut tape strips should be 0.7 cm to 1.5 cm.
2. Apply the base of the tape on the region of scapulae without tension.
3. Then apply the strips of the tape with a minimal tension on the skin, crossing the region of cervicothoracic junction.


Stabilisation of cervical spine
Indications: pain syndrome in the cervical spine, whiplash injury, instability in the cervical spine

1. This method requires one Y-tape 10–12 cm long, as well as one I-tape approximately 15 cm long.
3. Apply the base of Y-tape in the region of Th2-Th4 without tension. Strips of the tape are applied with a 15 % tension in parallel to spinous processes of vertebra towards occipital part of the head.
4. Apply the second tape perpendicularly to Y-tape in the region of С4-Th2 using ligament method.


Relief of pain syndrome in cervical spine
Indications: Headaches, dizziness, instability in cervical spine, relief of pain syndrome in the cervical spine

1. This method requires one Y-tape with the length of 10-12 cm, as well as one fascia-tape with the length approximately 15 cm.
2. Apply the base of Y-tape in the region of Th2-Th4. Strips of the tape are applied with a 15 % tension in parallel to spinous processes of vertebra towards occipital part of the head.
3. Apply fascia-tape in perpendicular direction to Y-tape in the region of С4-Th2.


Upper part of trapezius muscle
Indications: Correction of posture, trigger points, hypertonic muscles

1. This method requires one Y-tape. Tape length is approximately 15 cm.
2. Apply the base of Y-tape in the region of posterior surface of the humerus head.
3. Apply the upper Y-tape with a 15 % tension towards insertion of trapezoid muscle in the region of nuchal ligament.
4. Apply the lower Y-tape with a 15 % tension towards insertion of trapezoid muscle in the region of С7-Th1.
