Uses

It is recommended to apply the Kinesio Tape half an hour before activity and for the best adhesion results it is recommended to remove any body hair from the area where the tape is being applied. Ensure the skin is clean and dry and then cut the tape to the desired length. Peel back the backing paper, and stretch and apply to the skin. Rub over the tape when applied.

Tips and Advice

It is not a restrictive type of tape, and allows for full range of motion. In contrast, traditional sports taping is wrapped around a joint strictly for stabilization and support during a sporting event.

Sports Injury Kinesiology Tape is used for a wide range of problems such as carpal tunnel syndrome, lower back strain/pain, subluxations, herniated disc, knee conditions, shoulder conditions, sports injuries, and much more.
