What does kinesiology tape do?
Kinesiology tape (KT tape) is a thin, flexible tape designed to aid muscle movement and enhance athletic performance. It is also often used to provide additional support, relieve pain and reduce tension, swelling and inflammation around muscles and joints. The added elasticity of the KT tape allows for a fuller range of movement whilst still providing firm, reliable support.
How long should you wear KT tape?
KT tape can be worn for up to 5 days but should not be left on the skin for longer. When the skin is prepped correctly and applied efficiently, kinesiology tape can last on the skin for anywhere between 3 to 5 days - even if worn in the shower or whilst swimming.
What is Pre-K Gel?
Pre-K Gel can be used before applying kinesiology tape to improve the adhesion and wearability of your tape. It works by cleansing the area of adhesion, ridding the skin of sweat and any products that have previously been applied. Pre-K Gel is an optional step but can greatly improve the effectiveness of your tape for better protection and support.
