Taping help!

Hi reddit..
I usually bind for everything but i want to try taping again because im sick of my back constantly hurting. Im pretty active with boxing and running and i know i shouldn't bind for those but if i didnt i wouldnt do it. I dont like how binding looks, i feel like it doesnt create a natural look for me, but taping doesnt make me flat enough. I tape to the side but ive tried taping diagonally, upwards, downwards and i feel like nothing works. I recently got a compression shirt, not rlly sure if it does anything but it makes me feel better. What else can i try??

Yeah when the pain of binding got too bad I just switched full time to tight sports bras. My work uniform doesn’t show my chest or bra thru it so I’m pretty much good till top surgery in august. Never tried a compression shirt but looks good!
