HOW DO I APPLY KT TAPE FOR ACHES/PAINS NOT LISTED ON INSTRUCTIONS PAGE?
Here are a few simple “rules of thumb” on how to apply KT Tape that will help in applying regardless of where the pain/injury is located: – Body position: the tissue or body should almost always be stretched before applying the tape. – Tape placement: KT Tape is always applied directly over the area of pain. – Stretch of tape: Apply the tape without any stretching when you want to lift the skin from the tissue (muscle pain relief, prevent cramping, and prevent muscle fatigue applications). The more you stretch the tape the more it will support. If you need extra stability or support for a muscle, joint, tendon (for example shin splints) then increase the amount you stretch the tape.
