- Stretch and Apply: Stretch the tape gently (10-50% stretch depending on the required support) and apply it along the muscle or joint. Follow the natural contours of the body for optimal support.
- Smooth: Rub the tape gently to ensure it adheres well to the skin. This also activates the adhesive for better grip.
- End without Stretch: Finish the application by laying down the last part of the tape without stretching it.
- Post-Application:
- Ensure there is no discomfort or excessive tightness. The KT 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.
- 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 minimize 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.
