Kinesiology Tape

Hamstring

Strapping to support the hamstring leftleg

Equipment:

  • One roll of 50mm Kinesiology Tape

  • d3 Tape scissors

  • d3 Adhesive Spray (optional)

Top Tips:

  • d3 Kinesiology Tape is latex-free and hypoallergenic, meaning adverse skin reactions are very rare and tape can be worn for days on end to support rehabilitation between physio sessions.

  • Avoid taping onto wet, hairy, or heavily moisturised skin, as this can affect adhesive qualities.

  • Cut tape with sharp scissors, or d3 tape cutting scissors, to avoid fraying.

  • Round off the edges of the tape ends with scissors to help prevent tape from being peeled off the skin through abrasion.

  • d3 Kinesiology Tape sticks best when applied directly onto the skin, rather than onto tape.

  • Kinesiology Tape tape is stretchy and designed to move and react like a second layer of skin. Try to handle and place the tape carefully and avoid touching the adhesive side of the tape wherever possible.

  • The anchor strips, at each end of the tape, should always be applied under no stretch for better adhesion and results.

  • The backing tape paper can be ripped/split, but not immediately removed (until needed to) to help handle the tape and avoid touching the adhesive side.
