KT Method

Lower Trapezius

Movie for broad-band (300kbps)

Patient position: seated

Apply the base of the Kinesio Tex to

the medial border of the spine of the

scapula with the tape directed

inferiorly.

Peel the Kinesio Tex from the paper

liner and place the tape temporarily

on the skin. Do not activate the glue

by rubbing.

Flex and externally rotate the

shoulder to place the hand on the

head. Add trunk flexion to increase

tissue tension.

While stabilizing the base of the

Kinesio Tex, pull the skin superiorly

and laterally to increase tissue

tension.

Direct the medial “y” tail immediately

lateral to the spinous processes of the

4th through the 12th thoracic

vertebra.

The lateral “y” tail surrounds the

lateral border of the lower trapezius to

attach to the lateral aspect of the 12th

thoracic vertebra to enclose the lower

trapezius with both tails of the tape.
