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 four strips of tape in the shape of an I with a length of about 15 cm. 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. When cutting the tape, make sure that you round off the corners, this will increase the adhesion of the tape.
Preparation and application of Kintex Kinesiology Tape
To ensure better adhesion, remove all oils, creams and hair from the affected area and clean it with alcohol. Remove the backing paper of the first tape in the middle and stick it over the pain point under maximum tension. Place the second tape also under maximum tension slightly offset to the first tape. Now apply the third and fourth tape strips, also slightly offset from each other and under tension orthogonal to the strips already applied. Finally, apply a good coat of paint to the entire application from the inside to the outside; this activates the adhesive and improves adhesion. This application technique can be used for any strain and can be varied with the number of vape strips.
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.
