Hi Diane, My physical therapist used to tape my shoulder when I was getting treated. It is a little difficult to do yourself, even if you know where. It is the sort of thing you need to feel around for and have two hands to apply. Are you going to a physical therapist? If there is a good one in your area, it might help a lot. I have been to both good and bad…just like anything else, you need to ask around. I hope it keeps feeling better. jeannie _____ From: Diane Hofstetter [mailto:dianepianotuner at msn.com] Sent: Saturday, May 29, 2010 4:07 PM To: College and University Technicians; pianotech at ptg.org Subject: [pianotech] Hand, arm and neck pain Jon, I hope it helps you! One thing I think about the taping is that I'm going to a specialist until I know how to tape for my own particular needs. Miki, the massage therapist, taped my arm in a way I never would have thought of. And she only did so after examining me, massaging my arm and asking about where it hurt. I looked at many of the YouTube videos--Thanks Mike!--and noticed that several of them gave different procedures for the same complaint.

I've ordered a roll from bandagesplus.com. <http://www.bandagesplus.com/> http://www.bandagesplus.com I'm hoping it will help with back and shoulder strain. Having recently undergone carpal tunnel surgery on my right wrist, the neck and shoulder has eased up. it's always something... -- Regards, Jon Page Diane Hofstetter -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
