   • Tear: Use the serrated edge to easily tear the tape to the required length.
3. Post-Application:
   • Ensure there is no discomfort or excessive tightness. The tape should feel supportive but not restrict circulation.
   • Test your range of motion to confirm that the tape is providing the desired support without limiting movement excessively.
4. Removal:
   • To remove the tape, gently peel it off the skin starting from one end. Pull the tape back slowly and in the direction of hair growth to minimise discomfort.
   • If the tape is difficult to remove, use a tape remover or apply a small amount of baby oil or olive oil to loosen the adhesive.
