About KT TAPE

KT TAPE produces therapeutic kinesiology tape and sports medicine products designed to support athletes of all levels. Their elastic sports tape provides drug-free pain relief, structural support to muscles, tendons, and ligaments, and promotes recovery without restricting a healthy range of motion.

Whether preparing for a competition, performing at your peak, or recovering from a strain, KT Tape offers specialized solutions like the PRO Synthetic and Original Cotton lines. They also manufacture complementary recovery gear such as pain relief gels, blister prevention tape, and chafing relief products.

• How long can I wear KT TAPE?

  Depending on the product, KT TAPE can be worn for several days. For example, PRO Precut strips can typically be worn for up to 7-8 days.

• How do I prepare my skin before applying KT TAPE?

  Before applying, trim excessive hair, clean dirt and oils from the skin with rubbing alcohol, and apply the tape one hour before activity for best adhesion.

• How should I remove KT TAPE?

  Begin by peeling the tape up at a corner. Hold the skin down with one hand while gently pulling the tape off slowly with the other. Using baby oil can help with strong adhesive removal.

• How do I apply KT TAPE without causing skin irritation?

  Do not overstretch the tape, especially the ends (anchors), which should always be applied with zero stretch. Apply directly to clean, dry skin and avoid applying over cuts or open wounds.
