How tight to apply the tape?
- For good tension flex the joint as you apply the tape.
- Make sure the tape is not loose or sloppy.
- Ensure you do not experience numbness or tingling at the application point.
- This may mean the tape is applied too tight and may have cut off blood supply.
- In this case we suggest removal and re-application with less pressure.
How many layers to apply?
- When applying the tape, overlap layers by half the width of the tape.
- How much you use depends on the joint you're taping and how strongly supported you need it to be.
- Use too little and you may not provide enough support.
- Use too much and you may reduce joint mobility.
