Kinesiology taping: applying an elastic strip correctly
Kinesiology taping uses an elastic adhesive strip that follows the skin without limiting the range of movement, unlike rigid strapping. It is worn for several days, including in the shower.
Roll or pre-cut
The roll is cut to the desired length and suits all areas, provided you know how to round the corners so the strip does not peel off. Pre-cut strips are already shaped for the knee, elbow or shoulder: quicker to apply, less versatile.
Application
The skin must be clean, dry and free of cream; shave if necessary. The anchors, at both ends, are applied without any tension. Only the central part is stretched, generally by twenty-five to fifty per cent. Rub the strip after application: the adhesive activates with heat. Wait an hour before exercise or showering.
How long to keep it on
Three to five days in everyday use. Remove it by pulling flat in the direction of hair growth, under warm water if it resists. Do not apply a strip on a wound, irritated skin or in case of known allergy to adhesives. In case of injury, the advice of a healthcare professional remains the reference.
