Activated by friction, it also aims to support you without limiting movement, ensuring long-lasting agility and pain relief.

Ideal for Sportspeople and Athletes
The Kinesiology tape is a must for any athlete due to its pain-relieving and healing properties. Gently applying pressure to painful areas, it helps to reduce swelling and inflammation to allow a quicker, more comfortable recovery. It also helps to support muscles while playing sports for added versatility.
Can the Tape Reduce Chronic Pain?
The Blue Kinesiology Tape is a great option for people suffering from a range of chronic-pain disorders. It helps by gently lifting the skin to improve blood circulation and reduce inflammation around affected areas. This alleviates pain by creating a gap between the skin and underlying tissues, sending positive signals to the nervous system that can influence your perception of discomfort.
How Do You Apply the Kinesiology Tape?
The Blue Tape is very easy to apply. Simply follow the steps below:
1. Prepare the area. If a lot of hair is present, ensure you shave before application. Don't apply the tape to damaged or irritated skin
2. Cut the tape to a size and shape that works for you
3. Apply the tape:
- Place the first two inches of tape on your skin without stretching it
- Stretch the rest of the tape over the affected area until you reach the last two inches
- Apply the last two inches without stretching
- Once fully applied, rub the tape to activate the adhesive
4. When removing the tape, make sure you do it towards the direction of hair growth
Please Note: If you have sensitive skin, you should test a small piece of K-Active Tape on the skin first.
