Neck pain
Neck pain is a common problem everyone has probably experienced at one time or another, whether it’s due to an awkward sleeping position or muscle tension in the shoulder and neck area. Common triggers for these complaints are muscle tension, poor posture, overuse or injury. They can occur acutely or chronically and considerably restrict mobility. Typical accompanying symptoms are stiffness, neck tension, headaches and occasionally pain that can radiate into the shoulder or arm.

Taping neck – Tips
Step by step tape tutorial
Muscle technique
Bring the head into a pre-stretch to measure the length of the blue tape strip.
Attach the base of the tape in neutral head position between the shoulder blades. Leave the ends with release paper.
Pull the release paper off as you move upward and lightly adhere it, but do not finalize the tape.
Apply the first tape rein without stretch along the neck. The head is in the pre-stretch.
Apply the second tape rein in pre-stretch of the head. Again, without stretch.
That's it for the muscle technique.

Attach the longer pink tape strip to the center of the neck.
Apply the tape well, and then rub it from the center to the edges to activate its effect.
