Commentary on Twitter
Kinesio taping is one possible conservative treatment for rotator cuff disease (painful shoulder disorders).
Is it effective & what possible harms might it have?

The much-anticipated GRASP trial for rotator cuff pain has just been published showing steroid injections have a small short-lasting benefit, and that physio led exercise was no better than patient led exercise… Here's my short Twitter review… 1/12 https://t.co/1TFYGoAi7X
