HOW TO APPLY KT TAPE IN 8 EASY TIPS

1

Trim or shave excess hair from the area to be applied.
2

Use rubbing alcohol to remove any lotions or oils on the skin. Allow the skin to completely dry.
3

If youneed to make any cuts in the KT Tape(R) make sure you roundthe corners as this helps to avoid the tape from snagging on clothing.
4

Start by removing the backing paper from the center.Do not touch the adhesive part of the tape, keep your fingers on backing paper instead.
5

When applying the anchor on the first strip, do not allow there to be any stretch on the last two inches on either end. This can cause the KT Tape® to detach and pull on the skin.
6

To ensure a good stretch, use your thumband index finger to apply even pressure accross the width of the KT Tape(R) strip.
7

Stretch the strip to the desired length and then release about 20% of the stretch before applying. Please see our instructional videos for specific stretch recommendations.
8

For solid adhesion, rub vigorously for 10 seconds or more or use a hairdryer for additional heat. The heat activates the glue, allowing for a longer duration of use.
