7. Y-Tape Application

One of the most common applications, the Y shape is used to surround and support a specific muscle. The tape should be about two inches longer than the muscle you are targeting. The Y shape comes from one piece of tape, which you cut lengthwise down the center for about half its length.

Apply the stem of the Y directly above or below the muscle, and run the arms of the Y along either side of the muscle.
