This application technique is used against pain in the chest and rib area, for example in the case of a rib contusion. For this tape application you need two strips, the length of which is measured along the ribs. In addition, you need two strips of Kintex Classic Tape, which are about 15 cm long.

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, you should first remove all oils, creams and hair from the affected area and additionally clean it with alcohol. For this installation, one of the strips appropriate to the ribs is applied at the beginning, with a slight pull in the course of the ribs to about the area of the spine. Then the second strip, slightly overlapping, is applied to the first. The two strips of vape are painted on and then the first strip, 15 cm long, is applied across the two already fixed strips in the area of the pain point under light traction. Repeat the same with the fourth strip, which is also applied in slight overlap with the first transverse strip. Finally, you rub the strips again vigorously. The patient may then return to the straight seat. You can recognize the optimal fit of the Tapan layer by the ripples on the applied tape. If these waves are not visible, it is possible that too much tension was applied. In this case, repeat the taping process once again.

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.

ATTENTION: Please note that our articles as well as these instructions cannot replace the contacts with doctors and physiotherapists that may be necessary. Our products are not intended to replace professional advice, examinations, treatments, diagnoses, etc. by professionals, but only to support them. If you experience itching under the tape application, remove the tape immediately and consult a doctor or pharmacist if in doubt.

NOTE: The effect of kinesiology tapes is not scientifically proven, our statements are based on our years of experience.
