How to use Kinesiology Tape

1. Consult a professional

Speak to a qualified healthcare professional or physiotherapist before using the tape, particularly if you have a medical condition or are receiving treatment.

2. Test for skin sensitivity

Apply a small piece of tape to an area of skin and wait to check for any irritation. Discontinue use immediately if discomfort or a reaction occurs.

3. Prepare the skin

Make sure the skin is clean, dry, and free from oils or lotions. Do not apply to broken, irritated, or damaged skin.

4. Cut the tape to size

Cut the tape to the required length based on the area you are taping. Refer to the included kinesiology taping guide for help with positioning and techniques.

5. Apply the tape

Apply the tape as shown in the guide. Gently smooth it onto the skin without overstretching. Avoid excessive tension to reduce the risk of skin irritation.

6. Check comfort and fit

Make sure the tape feels secure but not restrictive. It should move with your body and allow for natural movement.

7. Wear for up to 3–5 days

The breathable, waterproof design allows the tape to stay in place for several days, including during showering.

8. Remove gently

Peel the tape off slowly and carefully to avoid skin damage. If needed, soak the tape with warm water to ease removal.
