Product information
TEMTEX® kinesiology tapes have an excellent elasticity of up to 160%, making them an excellent choice for sports, medical or everyday use. With more than 15 years of development, the TEMTEX® product range offers a wide range of applications to help reduce pain, improve circulation and lymphatic flow, stabilise joints, and accelerate healing. In some cases, they can replace sports tapes for joint support.
The tape stays on the skin for 3-5 days, is free of active ingredients, hypoallergenic and easy to use. One 5 m roll is enough for 5-10 applications. The colour of the tape does not affect its functional effect.
How do I use and remove the tape?
It is recommended that the kinesio tape is applied by a specialist – a physiotherapist or massage therapist. However, if you are familiar with the principles of taping, you can successfully apply it on your own:
- Apply the tape at least 20-30 minutes before your workout.
- Choose the right length and width of the band for your muscle:
- 7,5 cm for the back broad muscle
- 5 cm for most other muscles
- Cut the ends of the tape in a rounded shape to make it last longer.
- Remove the hairs and clean the skin at the site of the planned bonding.
- Place the muscle in the stretched position, but do not stretch the band itself.
- Gently rub the sealed tape to activate the adhesive.
- If the tape is applied correctly, it will create soft wrinkles.
- The tape should be kept on the skin for 3-5 days.
The adhesive in the tape allows the skin to breathe, so allergic reactions are rare. If you feel itching or notice a rash, remove the tape immediately.
To safely remove the tape:
- Hold the skin with one hand and with the other gently and slowly pull the tape away from the skin.
- Avoid sudden movements or ripping, which can cause skin irritation.
