Using sticky tape (on your body) to feel for straightness?

[Dottyfordylan]

Have seen it done before but can't remember where?

I know I collapse on my left side and thought taping up my right side would mean I would feel the pull of the tape when I collapsed...?

Possibly a very odd question and may not make sense, has anyone done this before?

I know someone who runs sticky tape from one shoulder blade to another, to feel when she rolls her shoulders forwards. She said it was very effective!

 

[Billykid]

Sounds like a good idea, will try that one time!

 

[Roody2]

what sort of tape do you use?

 

[Dottyfordylan]

I haven't tried it yet was hoping some of u clever people could come up with some ideas?!

Micro pore too thin? Gaffa tape bit thick? Lol

Normal tape possibly.... I am limited to my knowledge of tape, in fact I'm limited in knowledge with the whole thing

I was thinking maybe they use the tape that you see volleyball players wearing as support tape perhaps?

Oh dear I do that too I'm gonna be covered in tape!

 

[Dottyfordylan]

Oh yeh good idea, I guess maybe sport shops would stock it

I would think sports strapping tape would be quite effective. You can buy it from boots

Strapping tape would probably work but it won't be fun to take off! There's a reason athletes shave before they tape! (You can also get underwrap for wrapping joints but obviously not applicable here.)

"Taping" is a common physiotherapy practice (it's used sometimes on horses now) for proprioception but it's quite specific - I'm sure there are books on the subject or you could get a physio to help you. If you just want to experiment with it, they do make tape specifically for the purpose.

Ditto this - a physic used it on a friend's horse to assess his straightness (I think - it was some time ago)!
