AC Joint Separation Step-by-Step Taping Guide & Video

Welcome to our AC Joint Separation step-by-step taping guide, in this guide you will require just two tapes to follow the three steps in this guide. Using:

Applied to prevent acromio clavicular pain, visible separation or limited shoulder range of movement. Step 1 Fixing tape is applied in a cross shape, the first from the top of the shoulder down the side of the arm.  

Step 2 The second goes from the front of the shoulder and then down the back.  

Step 3 Zinc oxide is then applied in the same order but with a stretch being applied from the top of the shoulder down towards the arm and then the second from the front of the back to the shoulder. If more of a stretch is required a second piece of zinc oxide can be used.
