Kinesiology tape is an elastic adhesive tape applied directly to the skin. It is used in physiotherapy and sport, among other settings. K-Tape is developed for professional use. A suitably trained professional should assess whether and how taping is appropriate for your symptoms.

Original K-Tape is made of 96% cotton and 4% elastane and is coated with Physiobond acrylic adhesive. It contains no latex, medication or active ingredients. The fabric is elastic, breathable and allows perspiration to pass through.

The colour does not indicate a stronger or weaker tape. Choose according to your personal preference or to match your clothing. For a discreet look, K-Tape My Skin offers a range of skin tones. The appropriate taping application depends on a professional assessment.

Tape from a roll can be cut to suit the planned application. Pre-Cuts are strips that have already been cut, saving you this step. Correct placement and application technique remain important even with pre-cut strips.

K-Tape can stay in place for several days. The actual wear time depends on the application, activity and skin tolerance. Agree on the duration with your treating healthcare professional. If itching or other skin reactions occur, remove the tape immediately.

Yes, K-Tape is water-resistant. Gently pat wet tape dry and then let it air-dry. Avoid rubbing and using a hairdryer: friction can loosen the ends of the tape.

K-Tape is breathable and allows perspiration to pass through. The manufacturer recommends applying it 30 to 60 minutes before exercise. Check with your treating healthcare professional whether the activity you have in mind is appropriate for your symptoms.

The skin should be clean, dry and free of cream or oil. Do not apply tape to broken or irritated skin. Ask a trained professional to show you how to prepare the skin and use the appropriate application technique.
