This is worth remembering when setting up teips
For the taping treatment to work, it is worth remembering a few basic issues. Before putting it on, it is worth rounding the corners of the tape with sharp scissors so that the edges are not jagged. The application should take place in a clean, dust-free room. The taping tape must not be exposed to prolonged contact with dust, dust, etc. People with abundant hair should first depilate the place where the kinesio tape will be located. Otherwise, the teips will not come into contact with the skin, and the rehabilitation properties will not be used. Before applying, rub the strip vigorously to activate the adhesive. Be sure to remember that the patch is already tight on the foundation. When you wear a Rea Tape or Kinesio Tex tape, you use a product stretched to approx. 15 percent of the physical length. This must be taken into account when applying! If you have doubts about how to properly apply taping, go to a physiotherapist or a specialist doctor. Tapes should be used under professional care also in special situations – an indication for this is m.in.:
- problems with the circulatory system,
- diabetes
- peripheral nerve damage,
- skin allergy and dermatological diseases,
- pregnancy.
If after application you notice that the patch is folding — this is a natural state. The folding can be seen on the relaxed muscles. The kinesio tape adheres firmly to the skin, so it must not be torn off! Soap it in the shower, wait a while, and then slowly roll it up.
