I.5. Sacro Illiac tape to sustain anterior glide and/or anterior rotation innominate in relation to sacrum after MWM

Start the tape on posterior aspect of the iliac crest
End the tape on the midline below the umbilicus

Purpose
to sustain effect of anterior glide and/or anterior rotation of the innominate in relation to the sacrum

Indications
Pain or limitation of trunk, pelvis or hip movement improved by anterior glide or rotation

IMPORTANT information and notes:
  • An assistant is needed, because the therapist has to apply the glide or rotation, while the other applies the tape
  • Use two layers of tape, first layer without tension, second layer with tension
  • The direction of the anterior glide and/or rotation of the innominate in relation to the sacrum can be varied to get the best result
  • To avoid skin irritation use a commercial underwrap to protect the skin from friction and chafing.
  • Use non-stretch sports tape (50 mm) with underwrap (to avoid skin reaction)  
  • Never leave the tape more than 48 hours
  • If there is any irritation remove the tape immediately.
  • Ensure that after taping the provocative movement is less painful and ROM is improved.
  • Ensure NO PAIN, no discomfort
