What Does KT Tape Original Do?

KT Tape is an elastic sports tape that can be used before, during and after workouts. When stretched and applied to the skin, it is designed to help prevent and alleviate pain, as well as boost blood flow to affect pain perception and reduce swelling. It also acts as a support device to easy pressure on your muscles, soft tissue, ligaments and tendons. 

Incredibly Versatile Design

Due to the tape design of KT Tape Original, it is applicable nearly anywhere on the body for specific, highly targeted support wherever you need it. The KT Tape is already cut into convenient 10-inch strips but is easy to trim down even further so that it perfectly fits the body part that it is applied to.

How Do I Apply The KT Tape Original?

Designed to be as easy to apply as possible, the KT Tape is ready to use straight out of the box. A detailed guide is included to help you get the most out of the kinesiology tape but below are some simplified instructions:

1. Before applying, make sure the skin is clean, dry and free from any creams or oils (e.g. sun cream or moisturiser). For best results, apply tape thirty minutes before athletic activity. 
2. If applying KT Tape to a joint, move it into a fully bent position. If you apply the kinesiology tape to an extended joint, you risk pulling off the tape.
3. When applying the tape, the ends of the piece you are using should be applied directly to the skin without stretching, otherwise it could pull up and not stick.
4. The middle part of the tape can be stretched over the selected area.
5. Finally, make sure the adhesive is set by firmly going over the tape with your fingers, making sure that all edges are down.

How Do I Know Where To Apply The Tape?

KT Tape Original can be applied nearly anywhere on the body and can help alleviate a huge variety of pain, so where you apply the tape depends entirely on your personal pain and activity. Below are a few examples of where you might apply KT Tape to help you during certain activities:

• Knees during and after runs
• Lower back for deadlifting 
• Shoulders for basketball 
• Elbow for tennis 
• Heels or balls of feet for dancing

Sticks To Your Body With Incredibly Strong Adhesive 

KT Tape Original uses acrylic-based, medical-grade adhesive to stick your body for up to three days, including through multiple workout and showers. Engineered with Secondskin Adhesive to work in the harshest environments, the kinesiology tape performs in both cold and humid environments. 

Precut Into Convenient Strips And Can Be Trimmed Further 

This model of the KT Tape is precut into strips that are ten inches (25.4cm) long and 2 inches (5.08cm) wide. The strips also have rounded corners to make application easier and avoid fraying edges. Although already cut for your convenience, the strips are easy to trim even smaller or into specific shapes to conform to your body. 

Supports Your Body Like A Brace

Along with relieving pain, KT Tape Original 10-Inch Precut offers brace-like support for your muscles, joints and tendons. It does so without compromising flexibility or comfort with its Ultralite Elastic Core and unlike a traditional brace, the kinesiology tape is not limited to specific body parts. 

Latex Free And Kind To Your Skin 

The mesh design of the tape is breathable and releases moisture, keeping your skin fresh and hydrated even after multiple workouts. It is also made of 100% cotton and completely latex free, ideal for sensitive skin. The adhesive used is medical-grade and acrylic-based so is non-itchy and gentle.
