K TAPING TECHNIQUES
All you need is a sharp pair of scissors. Learn how to apply Kinesiology Tape using the Neutral or Stretch techniques without touching the glue for longer lasting applications.
IMPORTANT: Remember to seek medical advice first and whether you’re a seasoned taping pro or a first time taper, always fully assess before applying.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
NEUTRAL, STRETCH & REMOVAL
The NEUTRAL technique is used to create small lifts in the skin over a large surface area.
This is predominately used for muscle strains and tightness.
Stretch the MUSCLE but not the tape.
Rip the backing paper at both ends.
Stick the whole length of tape down without stretching it.
1
The STRETCH technique is used over specific points of pain.
This creates the greatest possible skin lift on that area, reducing pressure on the pain receptors and relieving pain.
Rip the backing paper at both ends.
Remove the centre section of backing paper.
Use the tabs at each end to stretch the centre of the tape and apply over a point of pain.
2
REMOVE the tape by stretching the skin underneath.
Peel the tape with the direction of any hair.
Round the edges to prevent fraying or catching on clothes.
