Kinesio Tapes, BLUE Sports Tape
The method is called kinesiotaping. It involves applying a tape to the area of the skin that hurts or has been strained. The tapes are 5 meters long and 5 centimeters wide.
Kinesio tapes are high-quality, professional kinesio tapes.
Kinesio tapes do not contain any medicinal substances. They work by tightening the skin. This tightening stimulates blood circulation and the nervous system. The skin is gently lifted after application.
A micro-space is created between the tape and the muscles. It's worth waiting a while after application; the patches activate after about an hour.
• Extensibility up to 170%
• Weight and thickness similar to human skin
• Tape made of cotton + hypoallergenic acrylic glue

Kinesio tape colors vary.
The structure and effect of the patches are the same regardless of the color. It is generally accepted that individual colors can only be applied to selected parts of the body. This is not important, however, as the method of preparing the skin or applying the tape is much more important.
The skin should be well prepared before applying the patches.
• Measure the skin where you want to apply the patch and prepare it to this length. Cut the tape with sharp scissors to avoid fraying the material.
• Before applying the tape, wash the skin with soap and water and then dry it well (there should be no balm, ointment, or cream on the skin - this will cause the patches to come off more quickly).
• Wash the skin with a cleaner (alcohol or a solution containing alcohol).
• Small amounts of body hair will not affect the effectiveness or adhesion of the tape. For best results, areas of the body with more hair should be shaved.
• Plastering should be removed in the direction of hair growth.
• Peel off one side of the tape (not the entire side at once), stick one end to the skin and slowly peel it off, pressing lightly against the skin, starting from the bottom (skin area) towards the top.
• Do not touch the adhesive with your fingers!
• Do not pull the tape off suddenly, as this may cause irritation or damage to the skin.
• Removing the tape can be made easier by soaking it in baby oil or olive oil for 15-20 minutes before removing it.
• Do not take a bath or engage in sports during this time, as any moisture – both water and sweat – can cause the patch to come off quickly and be wasted.
• It is best to have the patch applied by a specialist. Follow the above rules when applying the tape yourself, incorrect application will not bring any results.
• reduces lymphatic edema
• increases range of motion
• normalizes muscle tone
