K TAPING NECK

Measure a strip of tape from the upper back to the hair line at the neck.

Cut a Y STRIP by cutting the strip in half, leaving a small tab at one end.

If you're unsure how, see our 'Taping Techniques' video

Lay the base of the Y STRIP with 0% stretch at the base of the neck, between the scapula.

Tilt the neck downwards and to the left to put the muscle on stretch

Apply the right tail of the Y STRIP with 0% stretch, following the muscle to the hairline.

Tilt the neck downwards and to the right.

Apply the left tail of the Y STRIP with 0% stretch.

Return the head to a neutral position.

Cut a short strip of tape, measured between the 2 Y STRIP tails.

Rip the backing paper into 3 sections, and remove the middle piece.

Stick the tape down with 50% stretch directly over any specific point of pain in the neck.

Stick the ends of the tape down with 0% stretch to prevent excessive recoil.

Wait at least 30 minutes before starting any exercise.
