Wrapping a shoulder yourself can be done effectively by using an elastic bandage and following a figure-eight pattern.
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to wrap your shoulder:
- Start Wrapping: Begin by wrapping the elastic bandage around your arm.
- Figure-Eight Pattern: Create a figure-eight pattern by repeatedly wrapping around the arm and across the shoulder. This ensures proper support and coverage.
- Secure the Bandage: After several wraps, secure the bandage with the provided elastic clips, or if using a self-adhering bandage, smooth it down to ensure it sticks to itself.
