DOI: 10.1016/j.jbmt.2021.02.003
Abstract: INTRODUCTION Shoulder pain increases excitation of the upper trapezius (UT) and reduces excitation in the lower trapezius (LT). Despite inconclusive evidence, kinesio-tape (KT) is often used to modify muscular excitation within the UT and/or LT… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.rehab.2018.05.1003
Abstract: Introduction/Background Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a prevalent pain disorder characterized by myofascial trigger points (MTrP), which are stiff contracted regions within a taut band of muscle. Clinically MTrPs can be differentiated in two groups,… read more here.
