We are back with a few final tips that can help you apply your kinesiology tape perfectly every single time. It can sometimes be difficult to get it to stick well and not peel too soon after application. With the tips you find here and in previous blogs (here and here) you’ll be sure to get a great application each time. Is your other fitness club in Raleigh, NC just not cutting it? Ready for a new challenge? Get started with CrossFit Invoke today by clicking here.
- Stay away from the adhesive side of the tape while beginning application. Touching the adhesive can be easy to do but it can also keep the tape from sticking well.
- Though the tape is stretchy it’s important to keep it from stretching to the limits. This can result in rolling and curling and that means it will not stay in place as long as it should.
- KT tape sticks to the skin. That means each end of the strip should end on the skin. You can crisscross pieces over one another but be sure the end of each strip is on the skin at the end of the application.
- Kinesiology tape is activated by heat. After application, rub the tape from the center to one end briskly so that you are creating friction that will help apply heat and activate the adhesive part of the tape. Do this to both ends of the tape.
We hope you find these tips and those found in previous blogs useful! If you aren’t sure what Kinesiology tape is, check back here to learn about it.
