kinesio taping

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a simple, non-drug way to ease shoulder pain and improve movement for people with impingement syndrome.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early study with only 6 people, so results may not apply widely. The taping effect is measured after just 45 minutes, so long-term benefits are unknown.
