Kintex Classic Tape 5 cm Pink
5 cm x 5 m | Free color choice
Our kinesiology tapes are often used for sports injuries or in physiotherapy. They are used to support and stabilize muscles, fascia, ligaments or Joints.
For this tape application you need two tape strips in the shape of a fan. For this you can either use our Kintex Classic Tape and cut the strips yourself or you can use our Kintex PreCut Tape and tear the tape strips accordingly.
Measure the length of the first strip from the groin to above the kneecap. Measure the second strip from below the back of the knee to the verse. Cut both strips along the back lines, leaving a block (5 cm) as a base with no incision. When cutting, make sure that you round the corners, this way the adhesion of the tape will be increased.
Preparation and application of the Kintex Kinesiology Tape
To ensure better adhesion, you should first remove all oils, creams and hair from the affected area and also clean it with alcohol. Stick the base underneath the strip and then peel off the backing paper of the first small strip and stick them on in waves with a light pull. Repeat this process with the remaining small cut strips. Now apply the second prepared strip to the calf and place the base below the back of the knee without pulling. As with the tape before, remove the backing paper from the small cut strips and apply them in a wavy shape with light tension.
Instructions for the use of Kintex kinesiology tape.
Kintex Tape should be left on for approximately 1 week, with the main effect expected in the first 3-5 days after application. You can shower, bathe, swim or do sports with the tape applied. Even sweating is possible under the tape.
