Case Study Full Name: Treatment of Myofascial Pain in the Shoulder with Kinesio Taping By: Francisco Garcıa-Muro -  Angel L. Rodrıguez-Fernandez - Angel Herrero-de-Lucas Department of Physiotherapy, Faculty of Medicine, CEU-San Pablo University, C/Tutor, 35, 28008 Madrid, Spain   Abstracts: This case report documents the results achieved with Kinesio Taping as the exclusive therapeutic procedure for the treatment of a patient with shoulder pain of myofascial origin.   Conclusion: Data on pain, joint motion and shoulder function obtained from this study may suggest that treatment with Kinesio Taping contributed to the resolution of the patient’s pathology, producing an immediate improvement and resolving the problem in the following days. The results therefore suggest that Kinesio Taping might well be a technique highly appropriate in the treatment of MTPs. However, more research is necessary, both clinical and neurophysiological, to clarify the specific mechanisms and effects of the Kinesio Taping technique.
