Elastoplast Sport Kinesiology Tape Flesh 50mm x 5m Elastoplast

Elastoplast Sport Kinesiology Tape is designed to provide comfort, increase stability and relieve pain in any injured joint or muscle area. Its elastic properties make it different from regular strapping tape – kinesiology tape allows full motion of your body parts, providing dynamic support that can be worn for an extended period of time.

Working like a second skin, Elastoplast Kinesiology Tape improves blood flow and speeds up recovery from minor injuries. Its porous, thin construction is suitable for those with sensitive skin types. The lined backing paper also allows for easy removal after application.

DIRECTION

How does kinesiology tape work?

Correctly applied kinesiology tape lifts the skin to create a small amount of space between the muscle and dermis layers of the body. This space makes room for drainage and blood flow while taking the pressure off any swelling.

How do I apply kinesiology tape on my ankle?

1. Make sure the area around your ankle joint is clean and dry. You’ll then need to measure out two pieces before application.
2. Keeping the backing on, measure the first piece from your inner ankle, around the bottom of your heel, and up the other side to just above the outer ankle. Cut this piece and save it for later.
3. Measure the second piece starting again from the inside of your ankle. This time, measure around the back of your heel and finish on the outer side of your foot.
4. Remove adhesive backing and apply the tape to the measured areas – it needs to be firm, but not overly tight or loose.

If you’re unsure, check the instructions inside your Elastoplast Kinesiology Tape pack.

How do I use kinesiology tape for hamstring pain?

1. Stand and gently lean forward onto a table-height surface. Keep your knees straight.
2. Apply 1 piece of kinesiology tape to the middle of your upper hamstring area.
3. Gently stretch the tape as you apply it down your outside hamstring muscle to end below your knee joint. It needs to be firm, but not overly tight or loose.
4. Repeat with a second piece of tape down your inside hamstring muscle
