The Kinesiology tape does not restrict movement, has an immediate effect, and is suitable for both professional and self-care use. TEMTEX kinesiology tapes have an excellent stretchability of almost 160% and have been successfully used in sports, medicine and everyday life. Developed for over 15 years, TEMTEX® kinesiology tapes perform a variety of functions depending on the method of application, including support, pain relief, improvement of lymphatic and blood circulation, correction of joint instability and faster recovery. For certain joint supports, kinesiology tape is an effective substitute for traditional sports tape. The tape remains on the skin for 3-5 days, is comfortable, free of active substances and hypoallergenic. A roll of five metres of tape can be used for 5-10 applications. The colour of the tape does not affect its therapeutic properties.

How do I put on and take off the kinesiology tape? TEMTEX Kinesiology Tape 7,5cm x 5m is best applied by a professional such as a physiotherapist or massage therapist. However, if you know the principles of taping, you can successfully do it yourself. When preparing for physical activity, apply the tape to your body at least 20 to 30 minutes before the start of your workout. Start by finding the area where you feel discomfort or pain. Then choose the width and length of kinesiology tape that is appropriate for the muscle: for example, a 7.5 cm tape is suitable for the lower back, while a narrower 5 cm tape is usually suitable for other muscles. Trim the ends of the tape for a better fit. Make sure that the skin in the intended area is clean and free of hair. Gently stretch the muscles to a slight tension. Make sure that you have not stretched the tape itself, but have placed it on the stretched muscle in its normal state – too much stretching may damage the skin. Place the kinesiology tape on the muscle and rub gently to strengthen the grip. If the tape is applied correctly, the muscle should return to its natural position and wrinkles should form. Keep the tape on the skin for 3-5 days. The fabric and the heat-activated acrylic adhesive allow the skin to breathe through the surface of the tape, reducing the chance of allergic reactions. If you still feel itchy or notice a rash after applying the tape, remove the tape immediately. To remove the tape, hold the skin with one hand and gently and slowly peel the tape with the other hand. Avoid abruptly removing the kinesiology tape from the skin.
