Application guide – step by step
For effective muscle support and joint stabilization, it is important to apply the tape correctly. The following general steps can help with proper use:
- Skin preparation: Clean and dry the skin. If necessary, remove excessive hair for better adhesion.
- Measurement and cutting: Measure the desired length, then cut the tape to size. Rounding the ends helps improve adhesion and prevent early curling.
- Corner preparation: Rounded corners improve durability, especially during movement and showering.
- Application without tension: The tape's two ends should generally be applied with minimal or no tension to the skin.
- Applying appropriate tension: Depending on the technique, apply the middle section with 10–50% tension (for muscle relaxation, stabilization, or correction).
- Activating the adhesive: Gently rub the already applied tape to activate the adhesive layer for better adhesion.
- Check: Move the affected joint or muscle and check that the tape is not pulling too tight and does not cause discomfort.
For more complex applications (e.g., around the knee, shoulder, or spine), it is advisable to follow the guidance of a physiotherapist or sports rehabilitation specialist.
