Warnings and when not to use the tape

Kinesiology tape applications are usually a safe and low-risk treatment method.
Allergic reactions rarely occur when using the tape, these are usually caused by current medication or intensified by simultaneous alcohol or nicotine consumption.
Also the use of skin and day creams, as well as a very dry skin, can lead to an allergic reaction.

Note

• Never use the tape on open wounds or as a bandage.
• In case of an allergic reaction, itching, tingling of the skin or throbbing under the tape, remove the tape immediately.

In case of doubt, please consult a doctor or pharmacist.

Application time

The duration of application of the kinesiology tape is approximately one week, with the main effect occurring in the first 3-5 days after application.
Only a few minutes after the application of the tape, it is no longer perceived as disturbing and therefore there is no restriction of activities due to the tape bandage.
Swimming, bathing, showering or doing sports is possible with the bandage without any problems. The breathable material of the tape allows sweating and allows the skin underneath to breathe.

Kinesiology tapes are often used for sports injuries or in physiotherapy. They are used to support and stabilize muscles, fascia, ligaments or joints. The interaction between body and mind, uncovering energy flows, as well as releasing blockages should be supported by the use of kinesiology tapes.
Discovered and developed in Japan in the 1970s, Kinesiology Tape is now indispensable in competitive sports, but also in the hobby and amateur sector. The tape made of cotton is comfortable to wear and very versatile in its applications.

On the underside of the tape, the adhesive is applied in a wavy S-structure, which makes the tape particularly adaptable and stretchable. This allows the tape to adapt optimally to the structures of the human body and lays like a second layer of skin over the muscles and joints.

Taping yourself at home
Kinesio- what?

Not easy to pronounce - but quite easy to apply.

Basically, the selection of colors plays a rather subordinate role in taping on the human body, even if the colors can be used supportively for therapy.

According to kinesiology color theory, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the colors red and pink are considered activating, blue and green are cooling, black and dark blue are strengthening and beige and yellow are neutral. Many physical therapists leave the choice of tape color up to their patient.

The reason for this is simple: the patient should feel comfortable with the tape and not find it disturbing.

Below you will find a checklist with the most important points that you should consider when taping.

Checklist for taping   

• Remove any hair from the area to be taped
• Remove dirt and grease from the skin
• Avoid body lotion or body oils on the area to be taped
• Round off the corners of the tape
• Do not touch the adhesive surface during the taping process
• Apply the tape about 2-3 hours before sporting activities
• Carefully apply the finished tape
• Put on clothes carefully
• Gently blow dry wet tape
• Remove with water or cooking oil

Application

When applying the tape, it is essential not to touch the adhesive surface. The adhesive reacts to heat and is activated by it.
Due to the stretching of the tape strip, the tape tears in the middle and the backing paper comes off. Now the tape can be applied without touching the adhesive surface.
Feel free to watch this technique in our video: Tips & Tricks.
