Our Gentle Kinesiology Tape can last up to 3 days. However, the greatest effects of Kinesiology Tape are felt within the first 24 hours of wear.

We would recommend removing Kinesiology Tape after 48hrs, since the positive effects are greatly diminished, and to reduce the possibility of skin irritation.

We will be straight with you, Kinesiology Tape isn’t a quick fix for injuries or a miracle cure!

We always recommend that consult a medical practitioner before using Kinesiology Tape. Then once applied correctly, it can help facilitate your full rehab programme.

Kinesiology Tape may be used to reduce pain from injured muscles as you rehab, reduce inflammation, provide dynamic support for ligaments and tendons, improve proprioception and provide postural correction.

Ideally, yes but shaving before applying is not necessary, however it unquestionably helps with adhesion. We would certainly recommend it if you are wearing Kinesiology Tape for more intensive exercise.

If you prefer, we recommend that you trim the hair down rather than a clean shave.

If you don’t apply to the correct area then the tape will have little or no effect, so you won’t do any harm to yourself.

However, the majority of ‘reactions’ to Kinesiology Tape are actually skin irritations caused by an over-stretching of the tape, or excessive friction on the skin due to a poor application. So, be careful not to put too much stretch on the tape and always apply a test patch if using our Kinesiology Tape for the first time.

We would always recommend you seek the advice of a medical professional before applying Kinesiology Tape in order to get a full injury diagnosis. Once checked out, you can easily self-apply.

There are areas of the body which may require some help or an extra pair of hands, such as postural correction, lower back and shoulder application.

We provide clear instructions for most Kinesiology Taping applications, so anyone can do it.

Our Kinesiology Tape glues don’t contain any colophony, latex or rosin, which are the normal irritants for anyone with an Elastoplast allergy.

We recommend that you always try a small test patch before using Kinesiology Tape for the first time.
