Application of a posterior (lumbar) support I strip The strip should be approximately from the PS1S to PS1S plus 6-8 inches per side.
The Kinesio I strip between the PSIS's is morę clearly explained in erector spinae muscle strain as the space correction technique. The tape is applied t create space directly over the area of pain.
Twenty five to 40 % of available tension is applie directly over the area of pain. Between the areas of pain, and past the areas of pain, no tension is addec to the tape. The correction is applied with the patie in as much flexion as possible.
For each side the application is completed by placing the patient in as much forward flexion and lateral bending to the opposite side as allowed.
One hand holds the Kinesio strip just lateral to area of pain. The end of the Kinesio strip is angled over the greater trochanter towards the tensor fas< latae. The last 2-3 inches are laid down with out tension.
Initiate glue activation prior to any further pat movement.
Repeat process for opposite side.
