How Do I Apply The KT Recovery+ Patches?

Designed to be as easy to apply as possible, the KT Tape is ready to use straight out of the box. A detailed guide is included to help you get the most out of the kinesiology tape but below are some simplified instructions:

1. Before applying, make sure the skin is clean, dry and free from any creams or oils (e.g. sun cream or moisturiser). You can also trim the hair for better adhesion. For best results, apply tape an hour before athletic activity.
2. The back of the patch features a heart icon and it's important that the patch is applied in the direction of the heart is facing.
3. The back also features the numbers 1 and 2 on the layers of adhesive backing, to indicate which layer should be pulled off first. Start with 1 and slowly remove the inner backing away from the patch.
4. Lay the patch down over the area of swelling and inflammation, making sure that the heart icon is upright. Gently rub down the adhered section to set the centre of the patch.
5. Lift up the remaining paper backing next to the number 2. Slowly peel the backing while smoothing down the outside edge of the patch.
6. Rub the entire patch down gently to improve adhesion, making sure that all edges are down.

How Do I Know Where To Apply The Tape?

KT Recovery Patches can be applied nearly anywhere on the body and can help alleviate swelling or inflammation, wherever needed.

Sticks To Your Body For Up To 3 Days

Backed with a powerful but skin-kind adhesive, KT Recovery+ Inflammation Patches stay secured to your skin for up to 3 days, providing consistent support, without you constantly having to apply new patches.

Use Multiple Patches for Larger Body Parts

The patch design of the KT Recovery+ is really handy because it can quicky and easily be applied to smaller body parts without trimming. But if your swelling or inflammation is in a larger body part, that's no issue either. You can stack multiple patches in a lattice or chain to provide relief wherever needed.

Latex-Free and Kind To Your Skin 

The mesh design of the tape is breathable and releases moisture, keeping your skin fresh and hydrated even after workouts. It is also made of 100% cotton and completely latex free, ideal for sensitive skin. The adhesive used is medical-grade and acrylic-based so is non-itchy and gentle.
