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.
