Kinesiology tape is a highly elastic tape that supports the movement of skin and muscles and promotes blood and lymphatic flow.「With the muscle stretched, "place" the tape without pulling it . Round the edges to prevent peeling and ensure it adheres well to the skin.。 

Basic application techniques and tips for kinesiology tape

1. Preparation
   • Wipe away dirt, moisture, and oil (such as lotion) from the skin.
   • Rounding the corners of the tape with scissors will prevent it from snagging on clothing and make it less likely to peel off.
2. Stretch the muscles
   • Stretch the muscles in the area where you will apply the tape (for example, bend your knee if it's your knee, or bend your neck if it's your neck).
3. Tape tension (how to stretch it)
   • The basic rule is 0% tension (don't pull) . Apply the tape so that it rests on the skin.
   • In particular, never pull on the beginning or end of the application.
   • If you need more support, you can also try lightly stretching only the center of the tape by about 25-50% before applying it.
4. Make it tightly attached
   • After applying, gently rub the surface of the tape with your palm to help the adhesive adhere to your skin. 

Examples of application methods for different body parts

• Knee (knee pain, bending and straightening)
  1. Bend your knees as far as they will go.
  2. Apply it from below the plate down to the thigh, without stretching it.
• Lower back pain
  1. Lean forward (stretch the skin on your back).
  2. Apply four pieces of tape (approximately 20 cm long) perpendicular or parallel to the spine, sandwiching the painful area between them.
• Wrist (joint stability)
  1. Keep your wrist slightly bent.
  2. Apply the patch from the back of your hand without pulling it, and wrap it around your wrist. 

How to remove and precautions

• How to remove : Starting from one end of the tape, slowly peel it off while holding down the skin.
• Caution : Avoid applying the patch continuously. It is recommended to remove it every other day or after bathing. If itching or redness occurs, discontinue use immediately.

My way to help my knees in the travel:

First, you have like 3 finger wide part of the tape that you use in the beginning and the end to make a start and end. Only the between parts, you stretch. 

So first I used quite a long tape on both sides. I stretched max 30%.

Then I placed two tapes very close to the knee area.

The other two tapes came to the end to fix them, so they would not roll down.

This was so much help that I felt minimum 1,5 times stronger!
