Kinesiology Taping: Core Taping (Diaphragm, Glutes and Low Back Decompression)

This is Brent of the Brookbush Institute, bringing you another kinesiology taping video. In this video we're going to do a diaphragm / low back decompression / glute taping. It's going to end up looking like the British flags on your low back, and it's going to start all the way up at your xiphoid process. This is a really big taping technique that i have used to support my lumbo-pelvic hip complex dysfunction interventions, as well as some acute low back pain. I think you guys are going to see where when we tie all of this together, we get a little bit better recruitment of the intrinsic stabilization subsystem, a little bit better recruitment of the glutes, and those are all good things when it comes to correcting dysfunction and pain around our core. I'm going to have my friend Melissa come out, she's going to help me demonstrate this technique. Now you need two pieces of tape, the first piece of tape is going to be quite long between 26 and 30 boxes here guys. This is a very long piece of tape, and the way we measure this is I actually had Melissa go ahead and get into this kind of cat position over the table. She went ahead and held the piece of tape for me at her xiphoid process, and then I measured the tape out so that I had little flaps that went over just the side of her glutes. So hopefully you guys can see how to measure that there on the camera. I went ahead and rounded my corners. The next thing I would do is fold this piece of tape in half, because my first anchor is actually right dead center in the middle of the tape, go ahead and rip that right down the middle, pull those flaps back. Then I'm going to have Melissa face me, she's going to lift up her shirt up towards xiphoid process, maybe the bottom of our sports bra there, and I'm going to go ahead and set that anchor right over the middle of her xiphoid process. Alright now from here what I'm going to do is I'm going to have Melissa turn around, other way, and what I'm going to do is I'm going to start this off by following the bottom of her rib cage, you guys got to put just a little bit of tension initially so that it follows the curve of her rib cage. Alright because we just want, we want to establish a good anchor, so that this tape doesn't start falling off as I have her turn around, and I take care of the back portion of this taping. Alright same thing with this side, you got to put a little tension on otherwise you end up with creasing right around the bottom of her rib cage. Melissa you can turn around and face the camera there, kind of show them what you got going on there. So you guys can see it starts at her xiphoid process, and then follows down her rib cage, follows down her rib cage. Now I'm going to have her get back into that cat position right, because I want this part of the tape to actually be put on with kind of her rib cage expanded, so the tape is nice and long. I almost wanted to be more distracting to her, more stimulating to her skin receptors when she exhales, and her ribs are as small as they can be, because I want to kind of stimulate that deep diaphragmatic breathing. I want the tape to be at its normal less irritating length when she's actually expanded a bit here, and I'm hoping that diaphragmatic breathing helps then stimulate those intrinsic core muscles, and I get a little bit more intrinsic stabilization out of those muscles. So I'm going to keep coming around the low back. If I wanted to get really fancy here guys I could ask her which segment hurt, or if I've already done my my assessment I know which segment hurts, and I could have this cross right over that segment, but I'm just going to follow the bottom of the rib cage in her case, and I think we're going to end up right over about L4. I'm just going to go right to the bottom of her pants there. Now i'm going to try to be as symmetrical as possible, try to stay away from asymmetrical patterns here with the tape. You guys think this is a lot of awareness they get from their skin over a pretty long period of time. I can't imagine it's very hard to set up a asymmetrical movement pattern. Alright so now I'm right over to the top of her pants, and now we have to change position again. I'm going to have her stand up so I'm long tape here, now I want the tape kind of in a shortened position / glutes, because I want our glutes as active as possible all the time. So I'm going to have her step back into extension, good and then I'm just going to pull down the side of her pants as much as I need to to get the tape down. Make sure you've explained what you're about to do to your patient or client, don't go moving around clothing without asking permission, and you don't have to rub that much, because the pants they're wearing will do a lot of the heating up of the adhesive and keep that stuck. Alright go ahead and switch legs, all right okay, there you go same thing on this side. Lay down the tape pull that back up, and then the last thing is I figure out which segments hurt, hopefully cross my tape over that, and then I'm going to add decompression taping on top of this. Now you could probably make a good argument for putting the decompression tape on the bottom, Okay so I'm going to go, you guys know with that decompression tape you pull off the center, pull to 100, back off to 50, just like so. In Melissa's case I probably got a whole lot of stimulus to all those muscles, that hook into the thoracolumbar fascia there, and you can see here as I was talking about before, if Melissa turns around and faces the camera you have a quasi british flag going on. Alright so we got a whole lot of stimulation to the diaphragm, and a little bit of stimulation coming from that, those anterior core muscles, going down across her glute max on both sides, and then decompression tape a little bit in the middle, maybe stimulating some of that thoracolumbar fascia, the muscles that are that invested in that thoracolumbar fascia. You want to do a little spin for us, and so once again all the way from here all the way down, across to each glute. So once again guys i would use this in support of the any intervention I had for lumbo-pelvic hip complex dysfunction. I might use this for somebody who has some acute low back pain, at the very least there's so much stimulus here, you might find it to be a little bit of a counter reactant therapy where at least it gives them something to think about other than that acute pain that they've had, maybe helped start reset some of some of those cognitive processes involved in pain. How do you feel, you feel pretty stable. The times I've used this everybody looks with just feeling like I totally stabilized them all the way around I've got great results. I look forward to hearing how you guys use this taping, and how you feel using this taping. So please add your comments to the bottom of this video. I'll look forward to hearing from you. Thank you
