Broken Wings. . .
My physical therapist taped me up in the very start just to allow me some time to heal a bit before I attempted to build up strength to my scapula again. So, yes- tape is a great tool for this. But it is not something I would care to do long term. I guess I learned to strengthen other surrounding muscles that increased my stability after the initial incident. Now though, I still have residual muscle issues in upper body- primarily weakness- and not just the upper body anymore either.
What was cause of your winging? Just wondering since it is not really that common .

I have dealt with winged scapulas. My quick answer was Kinesio Tape.
Here is the the link to some images of tapings.

For my scapulas, hubby or my therapist would stretch it from scapula to scapula at my bra line. If you stretch it too thigh, it would cause me to have more muscle spasms.
Kinesio tape is good stuff. |
