Shoulder Taping with Leukotape - our experience

Almost every PT we have seen wants to try taping the shoulders. For many people with ehlers danlos syndrome, this is a daily help. For my daughter, it was not a successful option. There are two reasons this didn't work well for her:
1) She still dislocated as often with the tape as she did without. This could be an issue of needing to change the technique, or it could be that is lacked the level of stability she needed.
2) Taking the tape off caused dislocation of the shoulder, which increases the instability.
Because of that, we don't use this, but if you are interested, you can talk to your physical therapist and or med team about the options for your own needs. This type of tape is thicker and less flexible than a kinesio tape. It is meant to be used with a layer of the white roll underneath the tan tape, to protect the skin (so it is a two part taping). Again, I very strongly advise having your PT or professional team member help you with this and have them teach you how to use this support, if it is one that you would like to try.

This shows images as well as written description of the process our PT used.
Another interested power point on taping options with Kinesio tape can be found here. I am not familiar with these document creators, but I recognize some of the techniques as those that our medical team uses. In the second link, I found the thumb MCP stability method on page 48 to be interesting, though we have no experience with it, nor has our occupational therapist advised it. I am curious if others have been prescribed this approach, and if so, was it helpful?
As a follow up on our daughter's needs, the team opted to utilize immobilizers for an as need basis as well as a custom neoprene vest/wrap, which is being made at this time.
