How do you ace-wrap shoulders?

[White Shoes]

Does anyone know of a site that diagrams how to apply ace wraps to shoulders? I have painful tendinosis in both shoulders. Applying compression via ace wraps is recommended for tendinosis in general, and works well for further down the extremities... but pretty tricky for the shoulders.

I am not able to afford a compression shoulder brace... just wondering if there is anyone who knows of a site that shows how to wrap (without causing bunching under the arms.) I want something for my daughter to be able to refer to as she helps me.

Thanks...

I don't know of any sites that show pictures, but I'll ask our sports medicine guy.

Ever try duct tape?

Don't know, but I would get an extra long ace wrap, and start wrapping the upper arm high up (herring bone, not too tight) then angle down until I run out of arm pit, then take it across the chest and back. This might serve to immobilize the shoulder too.

But, I would go to a doctor.
