This is a taping technique for golfers elbow. Golfers elbows true name is Medial Epicondylitis. It is typically caused by the Pronator Teres muscle which originates at the medial epicondyle hence the name. 

Pain is felt on the inside of the elbow and if the area becomes very inflamed it can affect the Ulnar nerve. In this case altered sensation such as numbness/ tingling can be felt in the little finger of the affected side. 

This taping technique will help with the symptoms of Golfers elbow helping Pronator Teres and decompressing the Ulnar nerve. 

In this video I am using RockTape for this technique. If the skin becomes itchy the tape should be removed straight away, Do not use taping if you are allergic to plasters. You should not constantly re tape. You need to give your skin time to breathe between taping. I recommend a minimum of 5 days between tapings.
