Product Information

Full details

The Kedley Kinesiology Tape is designed for athletes and individuals recovering from minor muscle injuries who require reliable joint and muscle support without sacrificing mobility. This flexible tape mimics the natural elasticity of human skin, making it an excellent tool for managing muscle soreness or stabilizing joints during high-intensity sports or daily activities. While it offers superior comfort and breathability compared to rigid straps, users should note that proper application technique is essential to ensure it adheres correctly and provides the intended therapeutic support.

FAQs

Can I wear the tape in the shower?

Yes, the tape is designed to be water-resistant, but you should pat it dry gently rather than rubbing it with a towel after showering.

How long can I leave the tape on?

Typically, the tape can be worn for 3 to 5 days, depending on your level of activity and skin type.

Does the tape contain latex?

Kedley Kinesiology Tape is designed to be gentle on the skin; however, please check the specific packaging for material certifications if you have a severe latex allergy.

Is it suitable for professional athletic use?

Yes, it is suitable for both intense sporting activities and standard rehabilitation training routines.

Can I apply this tape by myself?

While some areas like the shins or wrists are easy to reach, applying tape to the lower back or shoulders is often easier with the assistance of another person.

Troubleshooting

Tape peeling off too quickly

Ensure the skin was cleaned with alcohol to remove natural oils before application and avoid touching the adhesive side of the tape.

Skin irritation or redness after removal

Ensure you are using an oil-based remover instead of pulling the tape off dry, and avoid over-stretching the tape during application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal adhesion and support, follow these setup guidelines:

Skin Preparation: Before application, ensure the skin is completely clean, dry, and free of lotions, oils, or sweat.
Trimming: Use sharp scissors to cut the tape to the desired length. Rounding the corners of the tape strips helps prevent them from peeling prematurely.
Application: Apply the tape with a light stretch rather than pulling it tight, as excessive tension can lead to skin irritation.
Removal: To remove the tape, saturate it with baby oil or warm soapy water to break down the adhesive, then peel gently in the direction of hair growth.
Compatibility: Safe for use on most skin types, but always perform a patch test if you have sensitive skin.
